Pros:

Le personnel est vraiment gentil ! Les déjeuners sont très bons et rapidement servis! Super bien situé, la vue est magnifique!

Cons:

L’établissement est très vieux, et l’entretien de celui-ci pourrait être mieux. Propreté pas au top, nous avons fait changer les draps à notre arrivée, car ceux-ci étaient souillés de crotte au fromage! Pas de frigo dans la chambre.

Cons:

There was no fridge in the rooms and the included breakfast was not good , everything seemed preheated and I couldn't feed my baby any of it , so would rather have a reduced price and no breakfast as we had to then go out and pay for breakfast

Gute Lage für Ausflüge zu den 1000 Islands
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist optimal für Ausflüge zu den 1000 Islands, die Gegend ist ruhig und der Hafen ist fussläufig erreichbar. Das Abendessen war unerwartet gut, die indischen Gerichte waren sehr gut zubereitet und auch am Wochenende gab es eine gehobenere à la carte Karte. Auf der Terrasse mit dem Blick auf den Lake Ontario lässt es sich gut verweilen.

Cons:

Das Verhältnis zwischen dem Preis und der Hoteleinrichtung selbst ist leider in einem Ungleichgewicht. Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen und es wären ein paar Renovierungen der Zimmer und der jeweiligen Etagen erforderlich. Beim Frühstück, welches in Ordnung ist aber leider nicht so gut wie die Speisen am Abend, hätte ich mir Tischdecken auf den Tischen gewünscht.

clean??
Pros:

we had dinner at Muskie Jakes at the Gananoque Inn. We had a male server who was just ok. my concern was with the questionable cleanliness of the restaurant. When on my way to the restroom there was a door that was marked Staff only. I have included a photo. It looked like this door may lead to the kitchen. I wonder how clean the inside of the kitchen area is when this is what the customer Can see….. Who would think that this is acceptable?

Not nearly as bad as some reviewers suggest
Pros:

The inn is old and has a tired feel but has been remade to modern standards and has a certain charm. No issues with our room - comfortable beds with good quality linens, a newly renovated bathroom and a view to die for. The breakfasts though, as other reviews have pointed out, are indeed horrible. I’d avoid anything coming from this kitchen. Otherwise there’s potential here for an excellent stay in a hard to beat location right on the water.
