There are rooms on the ground floor and in a two story building. Luckily, during both of our stays we were able to get a room in the building. During our last stay the owner even asked us if we prefer the first or second floor. The room had what we needed for a quick overnight stay (fridge, coffee maker, etc.). We were greeted warmly and welcomed each time and we would gladly return again!

*******DO NOT STAY HERE IF THERE IS A HOCKEY TEAM ON PREMISE****…read more I checked in at 5:30pm and walked out at 8:30pm. Bitterly disappointed by the volume of disturbance and noise. You will experience kids running around with their Pajamas as though is is a summer camp. The management will quiet them down for a bit and within 10-15 minutes and the noise will start again! There must have been a whole floor and a half of these teenagers running around in the hallway and talking to each other! The parents all have drinks as thought this was their personal resort. When I elevate my complain to the General Manager - her respond was that I signed an waiver agreement that quiet time was at 10pm. This was not what I expected nor the volume and totally disruption that I expected. I then requested to have one night credit to my next stay as it is one of the better accommodation that is in this town. Her best offer was a 25% off for my next stay. This is totally unacceptable. Thank God I made my reservation through Hotel.com and they refunded me my stay because I use them at least 4-6 nights a month. I then elevated my complain to the owner DON of this Franchise which to date have not heard from him! Please ask before you book....thanks!

The place was a bit mildewy, cigarette-y, and eerily quiet. Like I saw maybe one other guest quiet…read more Spooky! The front desk person was friendly, which counts for something. She overshared a bit, but it came from a good place. She's young, she'll figure it out. Anyway it was so deserted that perhaps she was just lonely! The prices were as high as some of the nicer hotels in the area, so that part I was disappointed in. I got the feeling this place wasn't long for this world... I can't imagine how they stay open. Still, the bed was clean (and bed bug-free) and the bathroom was clean, so that was good. Just wish it had smelled better. And that it had cost less. It did not feel like a good value for the money. Also, there was some deserted-looking motel thing in the back. I felt like filming the climax of some horror movie in the lot, but... well.. I am not filming a movie so I gave that idea a pass. Verdict: not recommended. You can do a lot better in Lindsay.

This place really reminds you of the way things used to be about reserving a hotel or motel--in a…read moregood way. It is one of the very few places that lets you pay for a room with cash, while most other places require a credit card. Though our particular room was tiny, it seemed that they do a lot with the small space you get, as you get a mini fridge, a microwave, and a good selection of satellite channels. As well, it appears to be one of the lowest priced if not the lowest priced motel in Peterborough, and we were lucky that there was a room available, even though we went in the shoulder season, just after school-age students had gone back to school. It is rather minimalist in the food and drink offerings (no vending machines for food and drink), but for I and my husband, we tend to bring our own food and drink, so it was not that critical for us.

A beautiful location and a clean resort. So peaceful and picturesque…read more The only thing I would have improved is the number of places to hang things in the bathroom in the upstairs unit we had. Once there are two towels, two hand towels and two face washers stacked on the one rail, everything has to be moved for use. There are no shelves or rails or hooks anywhere else in the room so when you shower you leave your clothes on the toilet lid. If you want to hang the hand towels somewhere after use, the bath towels are in the way. Considering the size of the bathroom which is adequate, another rail or hook on the door would have made the whole experience perfect. There is a no smoking sign on the door, however smoking is allowed on the balcony, evidenced by a dirty ash tray on the table in the centre. Love the quirky ceiling fan on the balcony.

We came up in a big group to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday, but after seeing all the families (especially the kids!) enjoying the resort, I will be back very soon with my family. My little nieces and nephews will love it (and my Dad can get plenty of fishing in).

We stayed at the Best Western Mariposa with our family during our youngest son's hockey tournament,…read moreand this was by far the worst hotel experience we have ever had. We are a team with younger children, and parents made a point of supervising kids closely, following curfews, and being respectful to staff. Despite this, we were treated with suspicion and hostility from the moment staff realized we were a hockey team. On our first night, the hotel offered an empty room for kids to play mini sticks. The following day, when kids asked again, we were offered a different room that was dirty and had broken glass on the floor. Staff were notified, but no apology or concern was shown. That evening, while supervised kids were using the pool, another family (not part of our group) opened an unlocked side door and ran into the snow before jumping back into the pool. Some of our kids followed. There were no warning signs and the door was not locked. The pool was immediately closed by staff without testing water levels, and parents were falsely accused of children urinating in the hot tub. By 8:30 p.m., all children were in their rooms with parents. The following morning, our team manager received a rude email accusing our children of running the halls late at night and harassing guests--none of which occurred. The situation escalated further the next evening when staff aggressively confronted parents at the pool and accused a guest of having alcohol without cause. When another parent calmly attempted to speak to the desk manager to de-escalate, the staff member pushed past her and retreated to her office, where police were called. The OPP attended and confirmed there was no disorderly behavior. Everyone was allowed to remain for the night. Beyond staff behavior, the hotel itself was dirty and poorly maintained. Our room had a dead bug and personal items left behind, public areas were not well kept, and breakfast service was slow and inattentive. We would not recommend this hotel to families, sports teams, or anyone expecting professional service or basic cleanliness.

I stayed the Best Western Plus Mariposa Inn & Conference Centre last night ... I've never been…read morethere before. It was $120 (plus tax) for the night. WIFI (which was quick) and parking were free. There is a restaurant in the hotel, the Grape and Olive Wine & Martini Bistro, but there are lots (Swiss Chalet, McDonald's, etc.) within walking distance ... I had supper last night at Kelsey's, which is across the street. I had breakfast in the restaurant in the hotel this morning ... two eggs, peameal bacon, toast and homefries ($8) and a glass of milk. It was good! I'd stayed here again.

This is really nice Best Western Hotel. So the hotel has 2 sections, the main building, which is 4…read morestories high, and an annex section which is 2 stories high. Our room ended up in the annex section. Behind the hotel is open green space that I'm pretty sure belongs to the hotel, and backs onto the Otonabee River. It's very pretty and picturesque and I think a nice place for like an outdoor wedding. Our room itself was pretty standard. We had a queen bed, couch, coffee table, flat screen TV, microwave and small fridge. The bathroom is small and is just the toilet and bath tub. The sink is outside of the bathroom. There's a gym and a pool, neither of which were used by us. Lots of free parking. The breakfast area is nice. Since our stay was during the Covid-19 Pandemic (not our preferred time to travel, but our journey was ultimately for an interment), the hot food was served in "to-go" pre-packaged servings by an attendant (it was a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg and cheese on an English muffin when we were there). The attendant also serves you coffee and tea. Everything else is single serving individually wrapped and you can serve yourself with those (e.g bottled juice, yogurt, packaged pastries, granola bars, etc.). The dining room was open, with tables spaced out, but we opted to eat in our own room. I was satisfied with the Covid precautions. We paid around $120 a night. I would stay here again. Hopefully next time under happier circumstances, both personally and from a global health perspective.
