Never saw anyone who worked there. Parking is limited. Noisy, as karaoke was happening downstairs. No handtowel or washcloths. It was minimal accommodations at best.

Shameful accommodation

Shabby reception area. No one at desk . Room very small, dirty, peeling wall paper, filthy window ridges with one glass pane completely missing and damaged heating equipped. No coffee as advertised. No one to report to when we left 2 nights early.

It was a cute little room close to the beach. The breakfast included was awesome. I would say the backyard could have used a little help in looking nicer but other than that my stay was great

The check in was smooth and quick. The room's AC didn't work, it operates as a fan only. Thank you for the fan instead. The main reason we give a low rating is that the inn advertised that the breakfast is included in the stay. We found out only at the inn that the breakfast is no longer included. We could have picked another place if we would have know this in advance. Michelle said that she mentioned to Expedia to take the "breakfast included" option down several times and nothing was done. Not sure if it is Expedia's fault or Windspire's Inn fault. The restaurant next door doesn't offer breakfast either. There is quite a walk to the closest Tim Hortons, so at least a coffee maker in the room would have been appreciated.

This was once a nice Inn. It's now like a worn out old boot. The room was clean, though there was no hot water in the shower. The king bed took up the whole room, there was barely space to sit at the mini tin table (the only accessory). The property looked like somebody's messy back yard. Old bicycles, bathtubs in the garden and generally unkept. It's a cheap local apartment house.

Usually B&B's have a decent breakfast of things like eggs, waffles, bacon, etc. This was basically just a buffet of sugary cereals, and a couple loaves of bread for toast. There were some bananas and yogurts so I ate that. But if you're staying here, just don't expect anything fancy. I was really mostly only there to sleep, the room's cleanliness wasn't amazing but I just needed to be able to put my head down somewhere. That said, it does seem to be one of the cheaper options in the area so I guess you get what you pay for.

Stay away, not worth your time and money!

Outdated hotel with old mattress and bed sheets. Hallways had an awful smell. You could hear conversations from the neighboring bedrooms. The very small bedroom was far from being clean: There were spiderwebs on the lamps, hair in the bathroom and soap on the shower curtain. When I told the front desk lady the room wasn't clean, she answered "No, it is clean" ... I didn't even try the included breakfast, served from 8:30 AM, at which time I had already left this filthy hotel

Shower - no cold water...only hot (scalding) and the handle fell off. Hot room - was shown to our room, window open, AC off, room hot as hell. The whole place was hot. Hair dryers are out in the hallway on a table. Wife used one and it only blew cold air. When I checked in, the staff had no idea I was coming. The guy didn't even pull up the booking on the computer...just handed me a key. Decent price, nice people...they just don't seem to have their act together. 3 stars.
