Average hotel not far from the highway but far enough that you can't hear it. Hotel itself is average and has free parking. Unfortunately a low class individual was smoking under the small roof in front of the entrance even though there are no smoking signs. I had to call him out. Room amenities were fine, but air conditioner was too loud. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Hotel and room were clean. Continental breakfast was included and it was nice that you could pick your food items during COVID times. Around the hotel there are numbers of fast food places, coffee places, etc. A walk 'into town' is about 15 mins.

Clean room, busy hotel. Stayed for two nights and room was not touched by housekeeping. Expected at the very least that garbage would be emptied and fresh coffee packets dropped off. Only two bath towels. The bare minimum.

When I first wrote about the Comfort Inn on Bowes Street in Parry Sound it was decades ago for a travel guide I wrote called “George's Georgian Bay”. I had not stayed there, then, but it was recommended. Flash forward to August, 2023, and my wife Nancy and I were staying for two nights at this Comfort Inn thanks to an easy-to-use booking on-line involving Choice Hotels Canada. McDonald's restaurant, just off the highway on Bowes Street, is the landmark to use for finding this Comfort Inn and I shall get back to that in this review which aims to give you a lot of information. We arrived a few hours ahead of check-in time of 3 p.m., and were greeted by a cheerful employee, Dawn, at the reception counter. We wanted to make our presence known and then carry on to spend part of the day at nearby Killbear Provincial Park. “No problem!” enthused Dawn, noting that she would do the paperwork and we could pick up the keys later. We came back to the Comfort Inn mid-evening, Dawn was busy with other customers and another cheerful staff member, Brianna, assisted us and sent us to a room on the second floor; Room 229. The room was well equipped with a mini-fridge, a microwave, an excellent television, a coffee maker (with coffee and tea in small packages), and an iron and ironing board in a cupboard. The view across the parking lot toward McDonald's turned out to be an interesting thing. There were all manner of vehicles coming and going including one emblazoned with “sea lamprey control” lettering and another from Morrow's Plumbing. For a while a huge Bud Light truck was parked there and later a transport driver pulled into the out lane and had to reverse his huge rig 100 yards, or so, back to a turning space at an adjacent Shell station. We found the room and its bathroom as spotlessly clean as we found the downstairs reception and entrance areas. But our room was very cool and a wall-mounted heating-cooling unit was blasting cold air. I tried turning a dial on a control panel and that did not help. I pressed an off button and the unit went quiet without any air blasting from it. That left me looking for an “on” button, which I could not see. I pressed other buttons and nothing happened. While Nancy waited in the room, I hiked back to the reception area and minutes later a helpful Brianna was pressing buttons on the heating-cooling unit. There was no hesitation about helping and within minutes Brianna's “magic touch” had the unit working, but at the level we desired. During our stay, we were to find that any employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. So top marks to them for that and what seemed to be a teamwork effort! A recommendation: If you have mobility challenges, ask for a main-floor room when booking. They have two levels at this Comfort Inn, which has 60 rooms, and second-floor rooms are accessible only by stairs. I did not see an elevator and am pretty sure they don't have one. This Comfort Inn, I learned, was built in 1962. Things were clean and comfortable and very nice once I learned how to use the heating-cooling unit! The view from our window was to the south and looked across an incoming driveway and a large parking area on the other side of which is a McDonald's. Believe me, you can go for lunch, or dinner, to McDonald's but for breakfast you and your taste buds will find a friend in Parry who was running this inn's breakfast buffet on our first morning there. The breakfast nook operates from 6 a.m., until 9 a.m., and breakfast is included in the price of your room charge. This breakfast buffet ranks among the best, if not the best, of such self-serve breakfast nooks in our experience which has taken us to breakfast buffets in hotels between Ottawa and Kincardine, Ontario. With this Comfort Inn completely full during our time there, we thought that there would be little left for us at the breakfast buffet when we arrived there at 8:15 a.m. Earlier that morning, they had been very busy with early risers ( a lot of workers book at this hotel). To our pleasant surprise, when this retired couple arrived for breakfast there was a full selection, including hot goodies, from which we could choose. That included bacon and sausages, omelettes (little ones folded in half), hash-browns and a selection of muffins, or cereal, as well as orange juice, or apple juice. Across from one wall where the aforementioned breakfast items were offered, they had a coffee machine, and if you wanted it, you could get tea. Overseeing the breakfast buffet was Parry who was quick to answer questions and help. Soon we were feeling more like family, than hotel guests. Fortunately, I did not need his assistance with one of those “flip-over” waffle makers. They had two choices in batter... cinnamon, or original... to which, minutes later, you could add syrup toppnig to the cooked waffle. It was easy and tasty! On our second morning at the breakfast buffet, a young lady was on duty and she had made bacon in two ways. The first was regular, cooked but not crispy. The second was crispy. The latter was my favourite and I do not know if that offering was by design, or default. No matter, the young lady did a fine job, following in Parry's footsteps, and it – we discovered – was her first day on the job. On our second morning, Sandra was on the front desk and she was as helpful as Dawn the day before.Also helpful was a newly-installed wall unit which offered information about local attractions such as the Island Queen cruiseboat and Bearly Used Books. Now, back to finding the Comfort Inn when you turn off the highway and head west along Bowes Street. It's just a short distance to a traffic light and from there if you look upward to the right you can see the Comfort Inn about a block away. Getting there takes a bit of concentration. McDonald's is easy to see on your right as you head west. It's on a rise of land which blocks your view of the Comfort Inn. We first drove past the entrance to the Comfort Inn and turned right (north) at a traffic light where there was a Shell station at the corner. If you carried on to the north, you can find a Wal-Mart and other stores and restaurants. In fact, in that area, there are other stores and restaurants and this Comfort Inn is only minutes of a drive to the downtown and waterfront area. We doubled back to get ourselves driving west on Bowes Street, but this time we turned right (north) at the end of the McDonald's property where there is a small sign for this restaurant's drive-through and, above it, signs for the Comfort Inn and McDonald's. Those signs have been newly-installed, I was told when I asked about it. What made me ask was that these aforementioned signs are not illuminated at night. In fact, the western-most drive-through sign was dark too. If illumination of those signs is planned, that's a good thing for both businesses. If it's not planned to illuminate those signs, it's short-sighted on the corporate's front and a shame because it helps one find the Comfort Inn. A hint: When you turn right off Bowes Street, just at the west end of McDonald's hill/property, you will see a small sign on the far side of the parking lot (to the north) which is for the Comfort Inn. Adjacent to that sign is their driveway and you have to follow it on the south side of the hotel to get to the reception area at the east end of the hotel. On another topic, something you don't see often in a small hotel is a dedicated area for a business centre. This Comfort Inn has a business centre on the main floor close to the reception area. There, in addition to a lone computer for guests to use, I noticed a bulletin board on which were letters from a local Rotary Club and a local hospital foundation. The letters were thanks for support this Comfort Inn has given to these local groups. In other words, this business is a community contributor in addition to being an excellent place at which to stay. I have been at larger, more-modern hotels at which the staff did not make one nearly as welcome.

Consistency is the secret to success for any business that delivers excellence to customers. I mean this for any size of business, be it big, or small and this came to mind after having stayed for two nights at the Comfort Inn at Parry Sound, Ontario. This was our second trip to this Comfort Inn and our first time was about a year previous. Following that stay, we wrote in positive terms about our overnight stays. That's where the consistency comes into play. Two of the same staff members who were there looking after us in July 2023 were there during our stay in 2024. Those two staff members were Dawn at the reception desk and Parry at the breakfast nook. Dawn is an assistant manager and was prompt and professional in her assistance to us. Parry was looking after Comfort Inn patrons at the breakfast nook, as he did when we last visited. A third staff member who helped us was Christine at the reception desk. We don't know the names of those who work in housekeeping, but they deserve accolades too because they do excellent work. Our room, number 229, was on the second floor and our window looked out at the nearby McDonald's restaurant and its parking lot. One might think that busy spot would create traffic noise which would bother hotel patrons, but that was not the case. Our room was spotless and well equipped. We enjoyed the make-your-own coffee and tea provided by the hotel. Note: as with many hotels (including Big Name hotels in Toronto,) this hotel will provide linen changes and such upon request. Breakfast at the main-floor breakfast nook offered some hot food – such as folded-over omelettes, sausages, bacon and hash browns, as well as make-your-own waffles from two choices of batter. Anything you need help with? Parry will be nearby and glad to assist. This Comfort Inn is easy to find if you come off the north-south highway 400/69 nearby at Bowes Street interchange. Bowes Street, as you enter Parry Sound, will bring you alongside McDonald's and watch for the driveway to McDonald's. When you turn into McDonald's, you will see that the Comfort Inn's driveway is to your left. The main entrance is at the far end (the east end) and there is lots of parking for patrons around this hotel. Now for the big news. A staff member proudly told us that this Comfort Inn will be renovating, probably as the summer tourist season winds down. As part of that renovation, the breakfast nook will be expanded. That is good news, because the current breakfast nook – basic and fine as it is – could use more tables to better handle the flow of customers. We found this Comfort Inn to be good value for money and would stay there again because of the consistency of excellent service and clean accommodation.

Husband and I spent the night at comfort inn. We booked through choice hotel and it was very reasonable. Staff at the desk when we arrived was was nice and friendly. Our room was clean but the bed a little too firm and pillows very small and too soft. T.v should be mounted on wall so its higher as you can't see the t.v when lying in bed and Water drains very slow in tub after a shower.

Average stay at the Comfort Inn. Bed was OK, maybe needs replacing soon.
Close to McD’s, gas station, Sobeys etc and the highway.
Room came with a fridge, which is great.
Elevator would be nice, request a first floor if you have mobility issues, or, lots of luggage.

Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The continental breakfast was standard for a hotel and filled me up for a hard day's work. The staff was friendly and very accommodating with any issues that arose when it came to using my room key. This is a nice spot to stay during my Muskoka trips.

Although the room was very clean, the problem is that it’s mostly a stop for construction workers who like to party. The rooms are far from sound proof so you can hear every conversation from next room. Beds were very hard and air conditioner is an old window like model which is very loud. On the plus side, the price, although high, is way less than a resort. So you get what you pay for. I would not recommend if you are looking for a quiet good night sleep.

We came for the long weekend and booked a two night stay. Much to my dismay, despite paying the much higher long-weekend rate, no one came to clean the room and make the bed. This is really shoddy and I won't return. I was told that it was partly as a result of Covid ( which ended two yeas ago) I needed to 'fill out a form' which I was never told about upon checking. The apology rang hollow. The breakfast was fine if you like carbs, but the grumpy guy bringing out the food needs an attitude adjustment and the breakfast area was cramped.
