"First stay with this hotel. It's a basic hotel, but really well located, at a decent price. Our room was large, and seemed to be recently updated. Bed was firm, but ok. Bathroom probably benefitted the most from an update. Everything was newish, and worked as you'd expect. The staff was super helpful the one time we had a weird issue with our key. I'd happily book again."

Ragged Falls also hike able, and canoe, kayaks are available to paddle to the Falls or through the lake. It's also close to the west gate of Algonquin park itself. We also walked down to Algonquin Pizza and Paninni and had excellent homemade Samosas and ham and cheese Paninnis."
