Rate was reasonable and room comfortable. Pool and hot tub were nice to use. Restaurant is overpriced for okay food. Paid $9 to add 3 shrimps to a salad.
Not a bad place to visit. I went in-between seasons so there wasn't much to do. It's an older style Inn with large sized rooms. Very un modern.
The hotel staff was pleasant, price was great, location was beautiful. The restaurant was very quick and the food was fabulous. The rooms were very clean and well kept even if a little dated. Would recommend this hotel to anywhere in the area, or for a nice getaway.
Have been here twice for anniversaries a while back. Very rustic feeling. Well kept rooms, beach is small but quaint not too many people. Love the restaurant very good food and a great view especially if you are sitting on the patio. (See photo attached) Indoor pool/jacuzzi is good too. Only major criticism was the breakfast was slightly embarrassing, should be revised.
Located in one of the best kept secrets in Ontario (Lagoon City), the Knights Inn Harbour Resort is a quaint and quiet place to relax. We stayed in a lagoon side room, walk out and fish off the dock, nice view of the boats going by. The resort is older so don't expect anything flashy and fancy but the staff are friendly and very helpful. A private beach is located about 2 minutes away with knee deep water for 100m. Highly recommended.
Very unique destination. Great views..if you are looking for a quiet and romantic weekend this is the place
Wonderful off the beaten path place with nice views of Lake Simcoe from the outdoor patio restaurant. Band on weekend in bar and special activities show the owners actively make your stay interesting. Many rooms with walkouts to grass facing the river. A place you will want to revisit in the future.
Clean and pretty. Didn't use any amenities as we just slept there after wedding.
Harbour Inn (now "Knights Inn") was initially a European establishment, which worked well given the demographic of the area at the time. Things changed a lot though, and even now it is a far cry from what it once was. The demographic is rapidly changing, and with it, the business strategy. The place used to be filled with locals and boaters, now I don't know. Last time I walked in, I saw exclusively Chinese signage, Chinese management, and unrecognizable buses rolling in, so things are obviously completely different now.
Fortunately, the style remains the same, with the beautifully old-German look, which couples nicely with the well-maintained Lagoon City beach (a few steps away). Another good take-away is that a short walk or car ride away, there's a family owned Italian restaurant worth checking out (Lanterna) if you want to try something different in terms of food. Additionally, there's a little food stand on the beach (run by pleasant locals) if you just want a small quick bite on demand. If all that fails, there's a Tim Horton's ~7-10 minutes away by car.
I can't comment on the rooms, as I've never had to stay there, but from what I've seen and been told, they're nothing special; I just know the area (Lagoon City) itself is nice. One piece of advice I'd give if you're staying for a period of time is to bring mosquito repellent (you'll need it for the evening) and wear sunscreen, especially if you burn easily (don't be a hero, the water reflects A LOT of rays; I've gotten so burnt in Lagoon City that it crusted, which is crazy given that I didn't even get it that bad the numerous times I frequented Mexico's beaches).
I LOVE Lagoon City. However the Harbour Inn in 2016 (with the current owners) does not deserve my love.
My mother in law blocked 12 rooms for my wedding and put her credit card down to hold them.
The Harbour Inn charged the guests upon check out and then also charged my mother in law's credit card. They will not reimburse her and they have denied that they have double charged every one of my guests.
Other than double charging, I went swimming there over the winter. It was $25 for 2 adults, 1 child and we were not allowed to return after the 45 minute swim. The pool area was freezing, the hot tub looked and smelled moldy and there was duct tape holding together a light fixture in the change room. This is the most ghetto hotel I have ever stayed in and the fact that they charged AND double charge for their out-dated and disgusting hotel is absolutely incredible.
I am usually not a negative person, however I needed to bring this to people's attention. It disappoints me that the Harbour Inn is bringing down the value of such a beautiful community.
I think new owners are once again needed. As, if you Facebook the current owner, you will see how immature and inexperienced he is.
I hope that in the future, the Harbour Inn will be bought by someone who has integrity, pride and the resources to put the work into restoring this beautiful building.
Thank you.
