They upgraded us upon arrival, presumably because of our gold crown status, which was a wonderful treat. The room was very comfortable, we had a nice view of the water. We ate at the restaurant, which was good (I had the perch dinner) and very reasonably priced. The continental breakfast is ok.

This hotel is located right on the water front. It is fair value for the price that you will pay. The check in / out process was very simple. The room amenities are also pleasant. However compared to other hotels the choice of restaurants is limited. In addition the fitness room and pool area are very limited.

We have family in Owen Sound and have visited several other hotels in the area. Though the Inn on the Bay is the most expensive, it is by far the best hotel to stay at. We stay here several times a year and haven't had any issues. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is included however, we've never tried... More

An incredible venue overlooking Georgian Bay. The cleanliness, service and hospitality is second to none. The staff were extremely friendly and courteous and went out of their way to do everything and anything possible to make our stay exceptional. The banquet luncheon meals were scrumptious and careful attention to special diets/requests was attended to without fault ! The rooms were... More

This inn has been remodelled with a new wing on the Georgian Bay side. The rooms are very clean, and the 4th floor has access by card key only. Our room included a very upscale electric fire flace, and we had a view of the bay. Pricing was reasnable, The reason for only 4 stars is the continental breakfast. Other... More

Stayed recently with a large family group and we were quite impressed. The staff was friendly and helpful without exception, from the front desk to the restaurant. Rooms were extremely clean and well stocked, with fridge and coffee maker. Just one little complaint...the pillows were terribly lumpy! But the bed was comfortable. There was a small workout pool and hot... More

From fantastic staff to extremely clean and comfortable rooms, this hotel is first class all the way. The restaurant (in the hotel) has excellent food and the view is great (from most rooms).
