    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.

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.

We couldn't get seating in the dining room as it was all reserved so we sat in the bar area. The food selection was okay,they had food offerings that are in most traditional Thanksgiving dinners. I really liked their turkey and stuffing, their food tasted very fresh and no MSG (in our opinion). I wish they had offered more selection in their desserts as well as side dishes. They shouldn't have put salad dressing in the romaine (caesar) with the croutons. Mushy croutons + too much dressing =make me sad. They should just leave it for the diner to DIY their own salads. Service was OK. They didn't really help us much, went to get our own utensils, didn't refill our glasses. Things we enjoyed: -The food was traditional and not overly processed -The price was good -The Inn was very well kept and cozy Things we did not like: -Service was lacking, did not check up on us -Seating in the bar (but we didn't make reservations so I don't blame this on them) -More side dishes/dessert selections -Provide us with utensils!!! I enjoyed dinner here, and it would be nice to come back. We would definitely make reservations ahead of time next time. Service needs to be better.

We had to wait half an hour. Okay let's go to the restaurant. Closed. The bar was open. Yay. The rooms were straight out of a cheap detective novel. None of the usual amenities like a hair dryer. The beds were sunken. I hope it wasn't your honeymoon night lol. All in all more than disappointing. The price all in: nearly $400. It near the venue. The Beaches were fantastic!

It's easy to tell why many of the families there keep coming back year after year. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They made my wife dairy free dishes from scratch when she didn't feel like some of the other options and cooked up grilled cheese sandwiches for my kids for lunch when they didn't want their chicken wrap. The owner personally introduced my wife to the kids club counsellors so that she was more comfortable leaving them in the mornings to play. This went a long way in helping both of us relax. Besides the good food, great staff and amazing views. The other guests were so welcoming and friendly. Our daughters made friends instantly and we felt very comfortable letting them run around and play with everyone. It's a great culture that Shamrock Lodge has cultivated. With magicians, tubing, water skiing, canoes, kayaks, fireworks, and more. Shamrock Lodge really went above and beyond to always have something to do and look forward to. The only criticism, and its a big one, is that the rooms are not air conditioned. There was a portable air conditioner in the room but it was barely functional and the room was way too hot all the time. It was brutal and really took away from our enjoyment of the vacation. They really need to invest in proper air conditioning for the rooms.

A full service hotel with all 3 meals included, this getaway also provides immaculately clean rooms and thoughtfully kept grounds. It is family owned and the owners and staff have a clear love for both the land and the patrons. The staff were a delight - very friendly and ready to provide anything needed. There is a clean pool and sauna in the main lodge, and if you want to swim but aren't a pool person, not to worry because the lodge backs onto a gorgeously clean lake. A variety of watercraft such as canoes, stand up paddle boards, kayaks and paddle boats are available for patrons to borrow at any time. Motorized watercraft are also available for an hourly rental fee. We would, and plan to, return here.

The people were nice, beds comfortable, and food good. It's also in a great location to walk to restaurants and shops.My only complaint is how you could hear everything outside of the hotel and in the halls.

The hotel has a lounge, restaurant and a rooftop to hang out and eat/drink at. There are also a lot of options on main street just out from the hotel. The hotel use to be a post office, originally built-in 1914, and they incorporated that nicely into little touches inside the hotel. When you walk in you are in the lobby/restaurant area. The front desk is right there. During my whole stay I received great customer service. I surprisingly arrived on their grand opening day. They had a soft launch open two months previous. For being a new hotel my stay went smoothly. If you walk in from main street you are on the second floor. There is a parking lot/garage on the first floor. It seems that this option is the only accessible option since the second floor/main street entrance has stairs leading to the door. I stayed on the third floor - room 305 to be exact. I looked out onto main street. The elevators on each floor have their own room, so to my knowledge there are no hotel rooms next to a noisey elevator. The door leading to the hotel rooms is a heavy door and slightly loud though. My room was away from the elevator room door so it didn't bother me. One thing I love about this hotel is they used thick doors and the walls were thick and made well. I didn't have a problem hearing any hotel neighbors. I did hear noise from the street below, usually from the nightlife, but it never lasted too late. I do sleep with a white noise app so that helped. My room was done very well. I loved the decor and ambiance. It was high quality. It took me a minute to figure out the blinds haha, but I was very happy with it. My favorite part was the bed and pillows - it was so comfortable. Usually hotel pillows (even high end hotels) aren't that great in my opinion because they sink or her squished easily, but the Postmark hotels are the perfectly confortable. I slept super well here. Last note - they have a water station on the second floor down the hallway of the rooms. They supply pitchers and ice buckets. I loved having pitchers of water for my stay. I would definitely stay here again!
