Top Lake of Bays Hotel Reviews

Muskoka Waterfront Retreat

6/10 Okay

"The view was great. Staff were Okey, but unfortunately, there was a lot of small insects inside the cabin. Once we checked in, we tried to turn on all the appliances and the AC was not working. Called the number on the book and was referred to the staff at the site and Informed us that it is not working and could not tell us when it is going to get fixed. So we have to open all the windows. I e-mailed the office asking maybe to give us a discount on our stay but, sad to say we've checked out and still didn't get any response from the management. Which was a very disappointment on our family trip."
