Our family was in Peterborough during a busy weekend. Everyone was dropping their kids off for university, including us. We booked the king bed suite that had two pull-out couches and a fireplace. The room overlooked the river. The view of the grounds is a bit obstructed by the roof of the riverside dining patio. The toilet was unable to flush a single piece of bathroom tissue, let alone what it needed to. My husband had to call down to the front desk for a plunger. It was handed to him with a garbage bag, to be put outside the door to be taken care of when he was through fixing the plumbing issue. The pull-out couches touch frame over frame a bit, so access to the balcony and fireplace is blocked once people are sleeping on them. The king bed was soft and comfy. The room was quite large, but could've used some type of small dining table instead of two coffee tables. We made due and put the two tables together to play a boardgame on. There were two small benches we used for seating as well. We were able to extend our stay an extra day, but that meant switching rooms. No big deal. We were moved down the hall to 211. It had two queen beds and a small table with 2 chairs. The view was better on the balcony. We enjoyed the pool a couple of times and the hot beverages available in the lobby.

We enjoyed staying here and would do so again though there were some negatives, namely the Queen bed had a dip in the centre. As there were 2 of us this did nothing to improve our sleep. The room was very stuffy on arrival, like it had not been used for ages. It was a good size and both room and bathroom were to a high standard, but the furniture had ledges with thick dust on them, unfortunately. The heating/cooling fan would not run continuously, and the window only opened a few inches (for security of children) so it stayed stuffy. The fridge had no freezer section, so we were unable to re freeze our freezies. We needed the use of a microwave oven which limited our choice of rooms. Otherwise all was good especially the included breakfast which had all kinds of goodies all individually wrapped. On offer was an egg and cheese wrap, also wrapped. Orange juice in bottles too! Wow! Staff were friendly. There is a good restaurant right next door to this hotel, which has a large menu at very reasonable prices, which we enjoyed.

The thing that stood out most about this hotel was the absolute cleanliness! Very comfortable room, but the bathroom was spotless! Even in the lovely sitting area in the lobby, there was not a speck of dust to be found. The cleaning staff should be commended! Breakfast was a very welcome surprise, the young attendant was extremely courteous and kept everything well stocked and presented. Your hotel is so fortunate to have these excellent staff members, especially in these days where finding staff for anything is a challenge. Definitely will stay here again!

Having finally found Peterborough’s Best Western Otonabee Inn (no thanks to Google GPS which assured me I had arrived a couple of miles earlier at the Comfort Inn), the check -in was smooth and the top-storey room seemed more than adequate for the one-night stay. However, when putting away perishables into the wee fridge, there was no cool air to be found.
That was remedied by the front desk helper who gamely ferried another fridge from the room next door to replace the one that wouldn’t work. (Aren’t these things routinely checked by hotel staff?)
As breakfast was included, next morning it was down to the lobby, readily hungry. Sadly, the quickest way to the dining room was to go outside and then re-enter the lower level building. Brrr, on a wintry day.
Then it could only be described as the worst BW breakfast I have ever had in well over two decades of travels. What was purported to be “an egg dish” likely couldn’t have been guessed if blindfolded--think “Bland ‘R’ Us”. The sausage round was equally tasteless, prompting me to grab the ketchup bottle for the first time in years.
Happily the sleep was fine, but certainly room for improvement elsewhere.

This hotel is well situated, right off Hwy 7 and bordering a creek which flows behind the hotel. Our room in the older river view section was comfortable and had a small balcony from where we could sit and watch the ducks and geese and occasional canoeist on the creek. The breakfast was great with cheese omelets, french toast fingers, and all the usual foods you'd expect. The staff on check in and out were friendly and efficient.

Best Western Plus in Peterborough is located in a beautiful picturesque setting beside the Otonabee River. The grounds are so lovely. We always stay in the rooms separate from the main hotel that have patios where we can sit outside and enjoy the pleasures of this location. The beds are excellent, rooms very clean and continental breakfast second to none. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance including a Tim Hortons. The hotel is close to main 115 highway, The Lift Locks, shopping and a short drive to downtown. Perfect spot for us.

Nice, clean, spacious rooms, ours was a riverside room with a small deck from our patio doors to overlook the water. Coffee Pods and coffee maker in room, but there is fresh coffee 24/7 at the front desk. Very good selection of breakfast, including hot eggs, sausage and waffles. Paper bags available to take away snacks available at breakfast. Nice size indoor pool with outdoor access to a patio. The only downside was our room was near to an entrance door, people coming in after 11:00pm kept us awake. The 2nd night I turned on the room ventilation to have fan run all night to add background noise. This motel is not far off the main 115 highway and is near enough to access the main highlights of Peterborough including the Lift Locks. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

We stayed for one night. There was a big snow storm overnight and we were pleased that the parking lot was cleared for our departure overnight. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast provided lots of options however the coffee was average. Front desk staff and breakfast room staff were friendly and helpful.

This hotel is located more on the outskirts of Peterborough but still within easy access to other services, including a restaurant within walking distance. The hotel staff were very pleasant. It is an older facility with plenty of free parking, and although clean, is sorely in need of updating, especially the bathroom. No grab bars in the tub, no tub mat to prevent slipping. In addition, the tub in our room had a curved bottom. As older travelers we found the combination of the slippery tub and lack of grab bars to be quite dangerous. The room itself was quite large as compared to newer hotels and it did have a comfortable bed, mini frig and sliding glass doors to a small deck (needing a paint job). Our room was tucked away so it was very quiet. Won’t cross this hotel off our list for next trip but would likely research others before returning.

I just completed a two month stay at the BW Otonabee and have nothing but praise to offer. My room, which had a small kitchen and was more like a small apartment, was well-appointed and very comfortable. The fitness room is very good, the entire hotel is kept very clean and anything else you might need is not far away, either on foot or by car. I'd like to express my thanks to everyone who made my stay enjoyable - housekeeping, front desk, dining room, maintenance - everyone was wonderful, and I'm sure I'll be back again in the future.

As others have said, there was a very good selection and everything was individually packaged. You could eat in or take the items to your room. The staff was very accommodating.
We expect the pool will be allowed to reopen next week with limits on capacity, social distancing and enhanced cleaning. The hot is not expected to be allowed to be opened. Please call the front desk =at 1 800 373 5843 on Monday February 15th as that is when we expect to have final information from Peterborough Public Health.
