A group of 4 of us were heading up to Tobermory as all my canadian friends were talking about how beautiful it was. So on Fri Nov 2 we were overnighting there. After having trouble finding accomodation we stumbled upon this place and booked Room 40. We werent expecting much but were pleasantly surprised. After pulling into reception the friendly... More

We stayed one night over the Canadian Thankgiving Day. We were to catch a Ferry to Manitoulin Island next morning. The motel is a bare-bone, but (and here is BUT), here comes more importaint things about it: Location - can`t beat - its location is 5 mins walking to the terminal; it is facing a bay and all shops and...

This motel is the closest motel to the ferry dock. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Our room had both corridor and balcony access. The balcony overlooks the harbour and the shops. Eat at the Princess hotel, it is very good.

Small but nice/clean room. Along Tobermory's Little Tub Harbour - you couldn't ask for a better location. Everything was within a 1-5 minute walk (shops, restaurants, coffee, groceries, LCBO, Beavertails!, ferry, boat tours, scuba shop, etc.). The TV in our room has some quality issues, but we didn't spend much time in our room, with Tobermory being such a vibrant,... More

My husband and I returned from a couple of days in Tobermory. This motel (we were lucky to even get a booking) was the most perfect location. We had a clean little room with both front and back doors and 2 large windows to allow a beautiful breeze to flow through. We could use the back steps to reach all... More

Location is what makes this place with a view of the harbour. Rooms are tiny but it is just a motel. You won't want to spend too much time in them other than sleep.They had picnic benches, chairs, and BBq's to have a drink and something to eat while looking at the harbour.

We picked this property because they had a promotion that you got a 2 for 1 ticket for the Blue Heron Cruise line, so that was a huge bonus, and it was right next door the Chi Chimaun car ferry that we were taking the next morning, so it was convenient, and we could park our car and stroll through...

The rest of the ratings really say it all: Great location, a bit high in price for the size of room (and if your the type of person who needs to have room that looks like it came from a Swedish catalogue--then find another place), but the Harbourside is everything you need. If you will be spending all your time... More

We had a really great stay here this past weekend, we had to stay in 2 different rooms during our 2 nights since we booked kind of late but they were very accommodating and we actually were able to check into the 2nd room after we checked out of the 1st room. Rooms are clean and beds were comfortable. The... More
