Manitoulin Inn

First of all, it is a motel, not an inn, yet the room was recently renovated and very comfortable. We had a nice stay at the Manitoulin Inn, even if it was a short overnight visit. The room was absolutely spotless—fresh linens, a super comfortable bed, and everything smelled so clean and inviting. You can tell the staff take great pride in keeping the place in top condition. The lake is just a short distance away. Location is a short walking distance to a restaurant next door. We would stay here again.

It was not our plan to stay here on the night we arrived. We were supposed to stay in Tobermory, but due to a significant highway accident that closed the highway for hours, we missed our evening ferry. With only a few hours notice, our options on the island were limited, so, when we booked Manitoulin Inn we had muted expectations. The exterior is well kept and welcoming. The room (we had 2 queen beds) was dated but clean and comfortable. For the cost, some kind of breakfast option would have been nice, but there is a local bakery nearby that opens early and that the proprietor recommended. The best part of our stay was the service and kindness of the proprietor. Having explained our circumstances, we were given a modest but very meaningful (to us) discount -- in stark contrast to the hotel we had booked in Tobermory that gave no quarter despite the circumstances. He was friendly, informative, gave great advice about the area, and offered strategies to maximize using standby the next morning for the ferry. Auhtentic, sympathetic, welcoming, and informative. Great customer serice and a good stay.

This is a good location. Rooms were clean and updated. Very quiet and peaceful. There is nothing negative could be said. the central location let us tour all of Manitoulin Island in two days with almost no back tracking. My wife and I would definately stay here again if we return to the island.
