Hotel was very comfortable and had a very friendly atmosphere. The rooms were spacious enough for our one night stay, and very clean. We were new to the area but the hotel is located in a very quiet area which was very nice. We would definitely go back again if the opportunity arises. Great value for the money.

Just a couple of small details in the actual hotel rooms we had. There was no chair to sit on. Even a straightback chair would have been nice. There is no closet so to have a couple of hooks in the actual room to hang clothes would have helped. The only hook was in the bathroom. One last thing was the a/c. I appreciate it is expensive, but even to have a fan in the rooms without a/c would be nice in the summer to keep the air circulating.

By far the best location in Berry Bay for hotel accommodations. Parking was ample and staff were friendly. Uniquely, this was the TV experience of my hotel life! It’s often overlooked, but hotel TVs are huge contributing factor to comfort. Too often they’re confusing and inconvenient. After a long trip my partner and I really appreciated the ease in navigating.

It’s not exactly anyone’s ‘fault’ but there were spiders in every corner of the ceiling. One of which was huge! Not a big deal really, just slightly uncomfortable as they had to be ‘disposed’ of.

I liked the location and the room was perfect for one night!

I think a wall mirror in the rooms would be useful. The one mirror in the washroom was just not enough when more than one person is getting ready for the day! I would have liked it if the dining room was open a little longer and open for breakfast. Since if was not open for breakfast we were scrambling to find a breakfast place. It would be nice if the Balmoral provided menus/locations of good breakfast places in the rooms.

I love that the building and the area has a unique history. I love that the hotel continues to be used as a hotel (with upgraded plumbing and electrical) while keeping it's original charm. The owner is very friendly. Her conversation about the hotel shows her appreciation of the Balmoral's significance in the community and her commitment to maintaining it's usefulness as a commuity meeting place and comfort as a hotel.

There could be more electrical outlets that are strategically located for things like laptops, cellphones, etc.

Bed was excellent, room felt very clean, quiet at night though right in town. Building historic and interesting but nicely upgraded. Food at Bistro downstairs was delicious.

Hallway carpeting was really old and dirty ... no doubt will be renovated at some point like the rest ... probably some nice old wood under there! Bathroom door didn't lock/close well. I prefer there to be a separate bar for the fresh towels and towels in use ... with one bar, they end up all getting wet and needing washed even if only a couple are used.

Interesting history of hotel; clean room & comfortable bed; had a restaurant and a bar. (No breakfast though.) Owner was very nice and helpful. Bed was nice - and a king; candies in room, a nice touch!

Room a little small but we were ok with that. Tv was annoying and finally figured it out for the most part, the next morning. A small coffee maker would have been nice. Also, badly needs a few shelves in bathroom to put stuff. (No where to put toiletries.) Maybe other rooms are better for that? Also no closet or hangers. I had a few I brought - my sister did not. The traffic/trucks get a bit noisy early in the a.m; a tad pricey until the rooms are improved upon.

Two very large and comfortable beds. Very nice tenant, friendly and acommodating. Very close from Algonquin national park and very good value for money. I would recommend going for a swim in the big lake next to it, it was very clean and warm water.

Unfortunately the bistro and restaurant are closed on mondays and tuesdays

Room was clean and beds were comfortable. It was only steps away from retirement home where I visited a friend.

Breakfast was not available and restaurant was closed the evening we stayed. Long flight of steps to room on second floor. It would have been nice to have mirror in room … only one in bathroom.

Super clean room, great history. Good modern updates- like bathroom fixtures, door locks are number coded no key necessary. The hallway carpets are a little tired. Comfy beds, with nice bedding. Moen faucets with great hot water and consistent water pressure .

I arrived shortly before the kitchen of the restaurant was closing. I was asked if I wanted to order something. Within about 15-20 minutes, I had my dinner, which was yummy. The staff was friendly. The owner has her room within the hotel, and in case of an emergency, you were allowed to knock on her door.
