We stayed in Owen Sound for a weekend in Tobermory since there was actually availability here. The…read moreBest Western was by far the least sketchy place to stay here, as a lot of the other lodging we looked at were older motels. At least Best Western does have the name behind it. They have one EV plug in here that is free to use but slower for charging. The guy that checked us into the hotel didn't really seem all there. This hotel is dog friendly and we had 2 pooches with us. It seems like they put most of the dogs on the first floor. The lobby had a microwave out there for common use and free coffee was laid out here in the morning. They have a restaurant here called Bishop's Landing that does all meals. As for the room, it was comfortable. It definitely could have been cleaner. There were rogue hairs everywhere in the bathroom, particularly the shower. For example, there were ones under the bathmat that waved hello as the water ran under it. The hotel is located right next to the marina and there are paths that you can take for a scenic stroll at sunset. Not the best stay but for one night, this would probably still be my go to place to stay in Owen Sound.

The staff are very warm, friendly and efficient at their jobs. Everyone seemed to feel cared for. And tonight, we each ordered a slice of the chocolate tart as sharing just wasn't enough.

If you're looking for accommodations in the Owen Sound, Ontario area, or if you're just travelling…read morethrough and need a place to stay, I highly recommend The Highland Manor. I spent four nights there, and I couldn't have asked for a nicer place or a more congenial host. I was in town for a wedding, and after looking at the listings for some of the hotels, including the highly rated Best Western Inn on the Bay, I decided to stay at The Highland Manor. I liked the idea of staying in a home-like setting, with fewer rooms than a hotel and more personalized service. The Inn is historic in architecture and design and the decorations evoke a time period from the past. I stayed in The Moore room, as I was travelling with my cousin and we wanted a room with two beds. The room was immaculate, spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. We were given clean soft fluffy bathroom towels daily, a far cry from hotel towels. I had an opportunity to look in the other rooms after guests had checked out, and they were all beautiful. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay. The food was freshly prepared, depending on when we came down to eat, rather than being pre-cooked and waiting for us at a certain hour. We had seasonal fruit each morning of our stay, and our various breakfasts consisted of items such as pancakes (some of the best I've ever had), baked eggs and French toast. The portions were plentiful. One day, we also had a delicious cheese bread, made specifically for the inn by a local baker. Linda, our host, was personable and friendly and had a wealth of knowledge of the area. She was extremely helpful regarding our needs or questions, and she made a point of asking if we had any special dietary restrictions or allergies, in addition to asking if there was anything we needed during our stay. It was so nice to chat with her. The inn, which is also her personal home, is beautifully appointed with period pieces We enjoyed sitting in the grand parlor/library where the TV is located, as well as the outdoor covered porch. The Highland Manor is located in a nice, quiet residential area. We enjoyed walks in the neighborhood. When we went to the Best Western for wedding activities, we noticed it was in a more industrial area, and while it was located on Georgian Bay, we would not have felt comfortable walking outside the hotel perimeter in the evening. I'm looking forward to my next stay in Owen Sound, and the Highland Manor will be the first place I call.

We stayed at HOTB during a recent stay in Sauble Beach…read more The location couldn't be more perfect. It's nice and isolated, but only a ten minute drive to Sauble Beach. To make things even cooler, there is a tiny private beach within walking distance of the Inn, which isn't nearly as nice as Sauble, but it offers a great option for those who want to avoid crowds. The Inn is extremely well-kept and clean. There are around 8 rooms I believe, so it allows for a nice and peaceful house, and you pretty much have the run of the place. The owners, Ruth and Gord, are about as nice as it gets in the hotel business. Very laid back and kind. It doesn't feel like business when you talk to them. Due to a double-booking, we had to switch rooms for our second night, but both rooms were beautiful, and very old-timey. Granted, there modern perks like an alarm clock/ipod dock, but it just has a dead-quiet old fashioned vibe. There are some issues with the hotel that knocked some stars off: -There is only 1 room in the Inn that has its own bathroom/shower, and the other rooms have to share a community bathroom. Granted, this is probably the reason why the rates are ridiculously low, but that could turn a lot of people off. Also, the community bathroom is left immaculate at all times. We (having the in-room bathroom on the first night) experienced an early morning issue, as the shower in our room was leaking into the community living room and they had to get into our room to fix the issue. Not their fault, and they were extremely apologetic about it. -The sprinkler alarm went off very early in the morning. Again, not really an issue for us, but I can only imagine how annoyed we'd be if we had been sleeping still. Or worse, hung over. -The only real problem in my eyes: The hotel has no air conditioning. May not bother a lot of people, but after getting an entire day of beach scorchage, the night was HOT. There are ceiling fans, but that only takes you so far. I really hate to come off as negative in my review, because this hotel is just begging to be loved. The living room area is especially great if you have kids, as they have a whole slew of board games, dvds, and legos/toys for kids. The kitchen/dining area is also beautifully kept, and Ruth is a phenomenal chef, providing incredible (and different) breakfasts each day, which also caters to those with celiacs. The homemade muffins and pancakes are heavenly. Yeah, there were issues, but I really do recommend this place, if you're ok with the lack of a/c. I would return for sure, but I may throw an extra fan in the car before heading back down there. Oh, and I love Ruth forever for providing me with some much-needed aloe when I was in the height of sunburn dementia!
