Room was dirty - dusty, bathtub dirty including hair in tub, shower curtain mouldy and dirty. Breakfast omelette was hard and flat - unable to eat it. Waite staff couldn’t find a cloth to clean the table and when they did they can back with a dirty cloth. The front door was not welcoming - everyday it was dirty. I don’t mind if a place is a little tired and dated, but cleanliness is a must.

Needs updating and care. The photos of this hotel looked great but our room smelled musty, lots of fingerprints and dirt in the room. We were in the Annex, a redone motel. Breakfast was free thank goodness but only 2 strips bacon, eggs dry and tasteless, a few tasteless potatoes. Great location but next time I’d stay one block away at a better hotel. Staff was very hospitable but they need to update the rooms and clean them better. Not worth the money.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Pros: beds were very comfortable, great location and beautiful views out to the water. Room was very clean and front desk were very nice. Cons: expensive, no fridge in room, ice machine is on the first floor (we were on the 3rd), a bit outdated and bathrooms in restaurant need a complete renovation We were going to a play at the Playhouse so the location was key for us this trip. Beach was a very short walk and less the 1 km to King street. We would probably stay there again.

Do not stay here! It's so sad that such a great location is so run down and dirty. I'm talking years of dirt and filth. You know when someone hasn't wiped down doors or light switches for years and they get black and sticky. Ya, like that everywhere. Walls, doors, door handles, bathroom fixtures, everywhere! It looks like they don't even own a vacuum. Carpets were filthy. Bathroom was not cleaned after the previous guest. Hair in the shower and sink, urine on the toilet seat, mold and mildew in the shower. Their restaurant looked a bit cleaner, but the food was terrible. Cold, greasy plates and scrambled eggs that looked like they were cooked for an hour and had the texture of cut up cardboard. Great location, but that's it. Do not stay here!!!

We stayed at the Gananoque inn. For 2 nights and 3 days. My wife and I were very happy with the inn. All the staff was very friendly.. A lady at the front desk was very helpful. We were able to move rooms. When I book my room, I did not request a waterfront room, but they're very accommodating, and I was able to switch my rooms, and we went to room 503 which had a beautiful view of the lake and a area for us to sit in the evening and enjoy our drinks. We were very happy with breakfast. It was a sit down and you're able to choose off of a menu. We also ate at both restaurants. The first night was Muskie Jake tap and Gill, the food was very good. It was a little busier than the Watermark, but we were on holidays and we were in no rush. The second night we ate at the Watermark, they call it fine dining, not sure. If I would call that, but the food was very good. And they had quite a bit of selection to choose from, and you were able to sit outside on the patio and overlook the lake. The view was very nice and relaxing. Overall, I would most definitely recommend this hotel. If you are planning to do the boat cruise, it is walking distance docks., I would say, a five minute walk.( parking was free included in the inn) Just also quick note, we did the three hour cruise, which was amazing We thought it might be a bit too long but there was so much to see and also there was a lot of information given to us over the speakers. So kept a trip interesting.

I just celebrated my one-year wedding anniversary at the Inn. The check in staff was very welcoming, the room was clean, quiet, safe and had a good feeling. My difficulty with my stay comes with the food service.. I had an unfortunate time at breakfast. (I’ve worked in restaurants so I have sympathy, however, it could have been handled better). I purchased a room that came with breakfast, which I won’t be doing if I return next year. Essentially, the servers/kitchen forgot our order somehow. We were brought the wrong meal two times, where we had to awkwardly send it back. About 7 or 8 tables arrived after us, were served, ate, and were ready to go. Then - towards the end, a staff member came up to us and said, “I’m sorry they area making your food now and it will be two minutes”. The food came and I was so uncomfortable at that point. The toast had been made in such a rush that it was cold and had unmelted butter sitting on it. After waiting 45 minutes for breakfast this felt pretty sad. No one offered a true (non-deflected) apology, no one offered a discount on the stay, or anything for free in order for the bad service. Kind of lame for a wedding anniversary breakfast! Sorry for the rough review, the hotel is nice and maybe the servers were having a hard day and dealing with some organizational issues. :(

We liked that it was on the water. Our room had been remodeled it was good. Although it wasn't clean the floors were not vacuumed or moped we had no hand soap and there was an empty conditioner bottle in the shower. The complementary breakfast was okay could have been better. The waiters didn't check on us to see if we needed anything and the tables were very sticky and dirty we had to move 3 times to find a clean table. Needless to say we won't be coming back. The older white lady at the front check in counter need a raise she is a very lovely lady. Always has a smile our room keys stopped working half way through our stay and she was so lovely and fixed it right away. She is definitely an employee you need to keep.
