Peninsula Motel

Found this place after getting off the ferry. Rooms looked nice and the person at reception, Alice, was pleasant. Went for dinner at her suggestion, returned to settle in for the night. First off, no wifi password and not provided at check in. Second, tv cable box didn’t work nor was the internet connected to the smart tv. Beds are hard like you’re lying on plywood. Trying to reach someone for help was no good as no answer despite a couple messages and another number at the front office door was not responded to either. (Eventually did receive the password but it was wrong.) Price was jacked as the whole area had an influx of travellers during the May long weekend. Price gouging, much? Room was big, clean, floors were laminate instead of carpet, a good idea. Fridge, microwave, heater/ac unit all functional. If you’re heading North toward Wiarton and have no other options I’d say it’s ok in a pinch. Otherwise just drive on by.

Has a bed, tv, Coffee maker, fridge. Good enough! Pretty good. Pretty good.

For the most part the hotel was good - some of the outdoor facilities, like the volleyball court and fire pit, could use some attention and cleaning. There were barbecues available to use with propane supplied. The room was clean, with enough towels and bedding for everyone we had in our party. The staff at check in was super friendly and knowledgeable. We called beforehand to clarify the towel and bedding fees and were pleasantly surprised to find out that information was from the previous owner and is no longer applicable (though it might still be good to call and verify just in case). The main draw back was the, lack of, wifi. We happen to have quite a fair bit of data, but if you don’t… make sure you download/print everything you need for your trip (parking passes, tickets, etc) while in an area with reliable wifi. Other than those few small “issues”, the property was really good, and is in a really good location.
