This motel is clean and on little tub harbour, wake up grab a coffee sit outside on the chairs and watch the people walk on the boardwalk and boats. Walk to shops, restaurants and the cruise boats. The cruise to flowerpot island is a must, go to the lighthouse on big tub harbour, nice view. Many must see trails. Enjoy... More

We traveled to Tobermory on our tour of the Ontario side of Lake Huron. I had read many reviews for this area and really wanted to give it a try. I picked the Harbourside because of TA reviews and we were not disappointed the two nights we spent there. The rates were very reasonable although our 2nd night was more... More

We reviewed many of the hotels on line while deciding where to stay for a weekend in Tobermory. About 18 years ago we were here and stayed in Tobermory with our two girls. We could not remember where it was that we stayed but was pretty sure it was right by the water. This hotel seemed like it may be... More

First thing i would say is great about this Motel is the location. Very close to the harbour and everything is at walking distance. What made me feel bad was the room, i was told that there were two rooms available, i looked at the pictures and called back to confirm, they gave me the smallest room, without the kitchenette...

This motel locates near harbor. The blue heron ticket booth is just at the back of this motel. Location is great. You can find foodland supermarket and restaurants easily at that area. I like people work there, very helpful and nice. Room service is good. Just a bit doubt the bedding sheet for blanket is a bit too small. If... More

This motel is the closest motel to the ferry dock. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Our room had both corridor and balcony access. The balcony overlooks the harbour and the shops. Eat at the Princess hotel, it is very good.

Small but nice/clean room. Along Tobermory's Little Tub Harbour - you couldn't ask for a better location. Everything was within a 1-5 minute walk (shops, restaurants, coffee, groceries, LCBO, Beavertails!, ferry, boat tours, scuba shop, etc.). The TV in our room has some quality issues, but we didn't spend much time in our room, with Tobermory being such a vibrant,... More
