It needs a deep restoration for many things, but it would probably cost way too much.

Generally pleasant. It has an old nostalgic feel to it.

Windows need to be replaced and hall carpeting. Big jobs, but working at it.

Very good location, breakfast not provided, but open for lunch and dinner. New chef, food and service was very good. Owner always available and trying very hard to update the hotel. Comfy bed. Older hotel rooms on the small side but good sized bathroom, just what you would expect. Good place to stop for a night. Also left my iPad behind and the owner tracked me down and called right away, much appreciated!

The price and cleanliness

The hotel is clean and comfortable, rooms are planned to be renovated and they do need it. The building is around 100 years old and it shows

The staff were all amazing and made you feel VERY welcomed. Food was great and ironically, though we are from Nova Scotia, we took advantage of the Atlantic cod and fries as we can't buy Atlantic cod here!!!

Not having a coffee maker, tea kettle, or mugs in a room with a kitchenette.

The locaton is good and the Hotel owner is friendly! Since the unit we stayed in included a small kitchenette, it would have been nice to have a kettle, coffee maker and a couple of mugs to make coffee or tea in the morning. I felt it was great value for the money that we paid.

I arrived shortly before the kitchen of the restaurant was closing. I was asked if I wanted to order something. Within about 15-20 minutes, I had my dinner, which was yummy. The staff was friendly. The owner has her room within the hotel, and in case of an emergency, you were allowed to knock on her door.

Great stop over on our way to Algonquin Park. The owner was so lovely and welcoming and the dinner food was great.

Hallway carpeting was really old and dirty ... no doubt will be renovated at some point like the rest ... probably some nice old wood under there! Bathroom door didn't lock/close well. I prefer there to be a separate bar for the fresh towels and towels in use ... with one bar, they end up all getting wet and needing washed even if only a couple are used.

Bed was excellent, room felt very clean, quiet at night though right in town. Building historic and interesting but nicely upgraded. Food at Bistro downstairs was delicious.

There could be more electrical outlets that are strategically located for things like laptops, cellphones, etc.

I love that the building and the area has a unique history. I love that the hotel continues to be used as a hotel (with upgraded plumbing and electrical) while keeping it's original charm. The owner is very friendly. Her conversation about the hotel shows her appreciation of the Balmoral's significance in the community and her commitment to maintaining it's usefulness as a commuity meeting place and comfort as a hotel.

Room was a bit aged but had everything you needed.

Restaurant was very good; the bathroom is huge and very comfortable. The staff & the owner were super nice! Free parking and located in a cute town.

Everything was satisfactory.

Great access to east gate of Algonquin park.

The room was extremely basic - the bed filled most of it. Lighting consisted of only one lamp on one side of the bed. It seemed not to have been updated since the 1950s, so rather depressing. Hardly any charging points for phone. The sink was so shallow we couldn’t fill our water bottles. Air conditioning was very necessary but very basic.

Excellent location, very friendly, down-to-earth staff, delicious dinner in the terrace restaurant. Very convenient nighttime stopover on the way to Georgian Bay from Mont Tremblant.
