I sort of knew what I was getting into going in, having read the reviews of this place here and on other websites. Friend and I were going to a wedding nearby, and waited till the last minute to book a room. By this point, there were no rooms available except for here. It looks both inside, and out, like... More

Everthing smells like a big ashtray. Stains everywhere, there are what looks to be swatted flies on the wall. Just a big hodgepodge of nasty.

Driving in to the parking lot my boyfriend asked me if we had lost our minds. The place is old rundown and has empty coffe cans full of cigarette butts everywhere! The carpets are stained and worn. The whole room smelled like a stale ashtray. The furniture is broken, worn out and completely ugly. Even the toilet was worn right... More

Tip 1 : Take a tent and sleeping bags with you. Tip 2 : Don't stay here. Just don't. We were part of a large group booked in here for a wedding which , fortunately , was being held at another location in Picton. Some reservations which had been made months before were not showing at the hotel on arrival... More

When we first arrived the kids and my husband nearly flipped as it doesn't look like much. Upon entering the room we were even more disappointed as the carpets were stained and ripped and the decor was very outdated. The bed linens were old and even ripped in places. When my daughter tried to open a drawer on the dresser... More

It's good for a night, maybe two, but don't expect having a fun week long vacation there. Smoking is not allowed but everything stinks like an ashtray. There is a row of rooms facing the bar, with live music up to 2 a.m. The windows of the ground level rooms, facing the parking lot are 1 ft. away from the... More

Tip of the Bay is the second worst place I've ever stayed. The absolute worst was a motel in Nebraska during Hunting season, where an animal carcass may, or may not have have been dragged into the room. Strange as it may seem, the place certainly had character, which unfortunately cannot be said about the 'Tip'. Charmless from the outside,... More

I stayed at the Tip of the Bay a couple of years ago - and was disappointed. However a friend of mine stayed there this year and said it was terrific - what a difference new owners and caring staff actually make.The rooms are clean and fresh and the Town of Picton is an easy walk from the hotel. The... More

This was the best trip ever to Picton. Staff were friendly and helpful. This establishment is under new management. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The prices are low and there is so much to do in Prince Edward County!. There is also a new restaurant at the hotel called The Funky Carp. The food there was amazing! I would... More

My husband and kids and I stayed there in Aug. '06 and it was awful. The hallway carpets were so dirty and stained and the rooms were run down. We were on the main floor and the patio screen door was ripped and the door didn't lock. We had to take a drawer out of the dresser and wedge it... More
