Cute hotel an

A cute hotel on Golden Lake with views from the room. Low pressure on the washroom taps and seemingly not a lot of hot water for a shower Exhaust fan in room needed some cleaning.

2/10 Poor

Great view, but very inconvenient. Amenities are just shampoo and soap. No teas Staff didn’t stay at the property, had to make a phone call to reach, even no answer. They said there‘s a grab and go breakfast, but no staff showed up with breakfast at the office until 8 a.m.which was locked up over night. Won’t come back to this hotel again,

Disappointing visit to The Sands on Golden Lake

Lovely spot but invaded by Canada Geese so lots of poop on the beach. Restaurant was sub par. Asked about early checkin and was told no the maids need their time— no Im sorry but—- when I commented the chicken wrap tasted off the manager said he trued it and it was fine. Lovely view though.
Marion, 1-night trip

Lovely property along the lake. A bit old but unique.

I never actually met a staff member as I had a late check in and just had to put my key in a basket the next morning.

Lakefront respite

Lovely staff from check in, then ordering takeaway burger at their restaurant and then breakfast reception. The unit we had had 2 queen beds which I didn’t expect as we had only booked for 1 and it looked straight out onto Golden Lake which is shallow for such a long way that it is like a safe swimming pool, ideal for children. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone leaving or entering Algonquin park.

We were a party of 4 seniors sharing a cottage that was very comfortable and well supplied in the kitchen, bedrooms,bathrooms and living space. We enjoyed the fireplace and the bonfire pit on the beach We would suggest that your online dining menu is updated to describe what is actually on the menue.Other than that we really enjoyed our. 2 night stay.

Sorry but the breakfast arrangement was a let down.
Richard, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The location on the lake and the view of same was good. The exterior of the building/stairs/balconies was very poor. In the room itself - the beds were comfortable, but everything else needed upkeep - the laminate flooring was in poor shape and lifting creating a tripping hazard; the toilet paper holder fell off the wall. There was no sound proofing - the party next door went in till 3AM and kept us awake. All in all a 3iut of 10

Veldig fin plass og god comfort på Motellet!!!
Magnus Løberg, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t be fooled by the website.

Stopped for one night. Definitely would not recommend. Dirty, not very friendly staff at the check in nice lady on duty in the morning. Breakfast was an experience, muffin, banana, coffee out of a dirty coffee pot and a limited choice of cereal out of 3 old beaten boxes, actually looked like the breakfast was put together from what they could find in the owners kitchen cupboards, this did give us a chuckle though as never seen anything like it. Biggest complaint is how dirty the place is. Clean bedding and towels but everything else was dirty, old and tired. Great view of the lake and nice (misleading) website.
