Detailed Reviews
Location wasn't brilliant. It's on the edge of town meaning a bus, cab or driving in.
Room was a little gloomy in terms of decor and lighting. However it was spacious, had full desk, sofa. Bathroom was ok although very limited supplies of toiletries in tiny wasteful bottles. Would rather have seen wall mounted dispensers by the shower. WiFi worked well. Hopefully it was a plumbing fault, but the bathroom sink tap wouldn't run any cold water, it was actually quiet warm. This was reported to the front desk on checking out. I used the small business centre which is a desk, computer and printer. Breakfast was OK but a wasteful use of paper plates, cups etc and plastic cutlery - more going into landfill! Overall a good price.

Good location just off the 400 allowing easy on and off from the highway. You don't hear the traffic. Easy to find and flexibility is good. Rooms are a good size and toilets are slightly high for easy use for those with mobility issues

Parking is terrible, very small parking lot, and they were telling people to double/triple park because their lot is too small for the number of rooms they have plus party room. This was not convenient for coming/going. The breakfast lady was the kindest person we encountered there, she was lovely. Breakfast was standard, nothing special but edible. Hotel is not overly clean, with lots of dust and dirty floors, spills left for 48hrs and not cleaned up. Pool ended up needing to be cleaned on Saturday morning, at least they had it back up and running by the afternoon for the million kids staying there. Not a place I'd stay again. Staff were hard to find when needed, expected more.

Room Tip: Very small pool, dingy hallways, way too expensive for what they offer.

Thank-you for your response. we apologize that your recent experience did not meet your expectation. Due to the worst snowstorm of the season and back-up of snow removal in the city our parking lot was a tight fit for everyone. We hope to make your next stay great!

We recently stayed at this hotel for a U18 hockey tournament so no small kids or very few, we returned to the hotel at 9pm after our game on Saturday night and wanted to hang out with the other parents but were told we needed to be in our own rooms with the door closed by 10pm. We were not allowed to hang out in the hallway (that was completely rented by our team) to socialize. We asked for an alternative option and that was to rent the banquet room for a fee of $200, which we did the night before for a team potluck so were not spending the money again. Our group rate was already ridiculous at $240/night. We asked what we could do to compromise on this matter and the security guard and cops told us to pick a room to hang out in then. So we did. We were not being loud at all.
The next morning at checkout there were about 4 out of 20 of us who had an extra $200 contract violation fee for excessive elevator use, having our doors open after 10pm and having too many people in 1 room. We've stayed at many hotels for hockey tournaments and have NEVER had such a horrible experience. I highly recommend reading the contract very closely before signing.

Second time we have used this hotel now when visiting this area. Good price compared to competitors within area, also good location just 1 minutes off 400. Only downside of location is that car is required to get to any nearby restaurants.
Stayed for 4 nights (Mon to Fri) and was not disturbed once by any noise, despite hotel clearly being very busy. Breakfast is of decent standard, although getting the Waffle machine back running would be better than the heat your own waffles, they are currently offering. Otherwise, is is a good complimentary breakfast offering. Trying hard to be covid safe at breakfast also with gloves etc to use
Room of good standard and well appointed, also numerous power outlets in all the right places. Only servicing room every 3 nights if you are staying long term, however they were happy to service if you requested before that.
Will use again when in area.

Wonderful clean quiet hotel. Close to the highway and central to coffee shops, parks, restaurants, beach, gas station etc. Friendly front desk staff and good complimentary hot breakfast. During our stay we had bacon, waffles, hash brown, omelette and so much more. The kitchen staff was very pleasant and cheerful. They kept the area tidy and well stocked. The laundry room is 24 hours. Washer and Dyer accepts 2 loonies. Soap and fabric softener is available at the front desk for $1 each. Towels was delivered immediately when requested. Also the hotel offers unlimited complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby. Overall we had a fantastic time and would definitely return in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Worst over priced room I have ever stayed in. We go to breakfast on a Saturday morning at 9:15 am and the so called free hot breakfast was FREEZING COLD!!! Would not cook anymore hash browns, all out of waffles. They unplugged both steamers before we arrived. Looks as if they are trying to save money on electricity before the happiness of its customers. The shower in the room barely worked, it's liked we were standing in a bath instead of a shower. Plumbing issues!!! The room and hotel experience is definitely not worth $300/night! I would say it would be around an $89.99/night experience!!

Did not get the room we booked. We booked a suite and paid for a suite to be told they don’t have anything like that and no refund. Accused us of booking online when in fact I called to make reservation. The cleaning and kitchen staff not friendly at all. I don’t think they know how to smile or talk pleasant. No maid service unless you ask but no one at front desk advised us of this

I stayed at this Best Western Plus location in Barrie while attending a conference. The double queen room on the ground floor was well laid out and very clean and fresh smelling. My room also came with a fridge and microwave and I utilized both during my stay. The mattress and pillow combination were exceptionally comfortable. The morning breakfast service was very good and the breakfast service staff super friendly AND they have a separate adjoining room with tables and chairs. I'd definately stay at this location again.
