Stay at travelodge

Candy wrappers were left on the shelve..the breakfast was not the greatest. Limited selection of bagels, kept running out of coffee,there was only yogurt with aspartame ..the stairs going to the pool smelled like cigarette smoke

Disappointing

My husband and I married there two years ago, we enjoyed the stay very much as it had lots to offer.However our last stay we were greeted to spring break parties everywhere. The noise was awful, we couldn't even stay the night, upon check out the front desk was flooded with calls and complaints and we were charged full price... more

Horrible Service

Stayed here on Aug 2nd, and same as previous review, front desk staff are horrible.
Not friendly, and not able to multi task successfully. They attend to the phone rather than dealing with people in line waiting over 10 mins, horrible. When I complained about having to wait for a room, when check in is at 3, the attendant was... more

No Parking

I booked one room for 2 nights and a second room for the second night. I booked a ground floor room because there is no elevator and have trouble with stairs. The first night there were no parking spaces available except the managers spot. Parking there required use of stairs to get to room.The second nite was the same except... more

Not bad, but overpriced

Stayed here recently for for an event i was attending in town. To be honest, i was a little worried with reading some of the reviews but i prefer to find out on my own. I arrived early and was able to check in. Being a non smoker i asked for a non smoking room. The first one i was... more

This place stinks

Rooms aren't bad and no real complaints other than the smell. They still offer smoking rooms here and the hotel smells like one giant ashtray. You just can't escape it. The check in process was a little bit much as well and why they are asking two 52-year-old men for a damage deposit Is beyond me.

Great staff

Had booked this hotel through Expedia 2 months ahead and had to cancel 2 nights when I arrived due to travel changes. Never realized the hassle it would be to change booking through Expedia when I didn't have all necessary paperwork with me. (You pay Expedia in advance , not the hotel)
Manager, Mary (and staff) went out of their... more

Hotel was good but pool was gross

Room and staff were great but feel ill after going in the pool Scum on sides and weird smell
I had two small kids with me and didn't feel good about letting them in the water but once your there there was no stopping them

Nice weekend trip

Very nice experience at this hotel in Barrie. I would recommend it to everyone .

Travelodge in Barrie

I was not impressed with the hotel,staff was very friendly and helpful,contintental breakfast was alright..but the entire hotel does need an overhaul.Very close to everything.I did not go to the swimming pool or hot tub.

Travelodges not consistent

I am always amazed at the contradictory reviews given to any hotel or restaurant. BUT, I find that you cannot trust that all Travelodges are created equal. I stayed in Barrie this past Saturday and found the place tired and in need of work. The staff was quite pleasant, no problem there, but it was just plain dingy, the breakfast... more

very satisfied

I stayed the night here this past Saturday as the result of a split second decision to not drive back to London in the evening. I came to Barrie to visit a close friend. I work midnights so I was up all night and didn't get any sleep before I left London. So, I stayed the night here because I... more

Fun place to stay

I had a birthday party for my daughter. We spent the night at the travelodge. The girls loved the pool and all the stores and restaurants to choose from near by. The staff were great and the room was clean and had lots of towels for us. I would stay again.

Rooms comfortable. Heating and cooling system needs some

Rooms comfortable. Heating and cooling system needs some refinement to get to the temperatures a person desires. Otherwise I found staff extremely helpful in any questions I asked or in trying to find a restaurant open early on a Sunday.

Great family time

Family trip with my daughter and grandsons for some winter fun. Adjoining rooms were perfect. Staff were exceptional. Friendly, helpful, responsive to all requests. Decor is up to date and building is very well maintained. Wonderful experience in every way.

Looks okay from the Outside- Needs some work indside

Stayed here two nights over the weekend. Staff were very nice, but we ended up with an ant problem- In March, when its -20 outside. See photos- I want to say the staff dealt with it, but this has to be an ongoing problem in the hotel- be warned
The room was clean but needs updating, hole in the wall... more

Dirty

This was quite an unpleasant stay. The corridors were filthy, breakfast was mediocre at best, and in general we felt grimy staying here. To top it off, guests staying down the corridor from us came home drunk and loud, shouting at the top of their voices at 2am. When my husband asked them to quieten down, they swore at us.... more

F Dupont/McConnel

Overall, stay was good, and would stay at the hotel again. Cannot comment on breakfast, as we slept in until 10:00 am, so was not able to enjoy the continental breakfast offered.

Disappointedly average

On a positive note, the location is great & the beds are comfie. Don't stay here for the pool - it is in poor shape & children are unsupervised at all times. The hot tub had bugs & hairballs floating in it & 3 year olds playing on their flutter board...disgusting & unsafe. During the week, the included breakfast is... more

ken

Nice place to stay on a business trip. There are lots of parking. It is close to highway and Plenty of restaurants nearby . Breakfast is available early and
nice. The air conditioner is a bit loud. Overall it is Worth the money spent.

Good Enough

Stayed here as we were in town for a wedding - decent price and good for what we needed. The location was great on Bayfield and close to where we needed to get around to. They have complementary breakfast in am - basic things but cool that its included. Room was cozy and decent.

Average hotel for one night or so

We came here for the weekend and stay here just for one night.
Downside:
(1) Rooms require renovations, it seems they are still in the 80s, but they are clean.
(2) Swimming pool was a little bit dirty - the swimming pool walls require some cleaning or renovation.
Upsides:
(1) Good breakfast for the price
(2) Free wi-fi and good... more

Good night

Not fancy but clean and staff was friendly and helpful. Close to hwy 400 and to a large variety of services/restaurants/gas...busy in and out of lot since in high traffic area but not noisy at night. We would certainly return...continental breakfast was fine.

It's a Dive

Where to begin? Filthy, beaten up and smelly. Old furnishings, dated decor and mattresses which are about 5 inches thick and about 40 years old. The entire place looks in desperate need of an overhaul. Strongly recommend you closely inspect the bedding and beds if you find yourself here. Very sketchy. Given a smoking room(who still has these?) and the... more

The service was great, very knowledgeable, and friendly

The service was great, very knowledgeable, and friendly. They had amazing prompt, helpful staff assisting with the re oxygenating the room. We had smoking rooms that were a little foul smelling and they did their best to help aleviate the smell. Above and beyond, nice to see.Upon checkout one of our children had left her doll in the bed and... more

Convenient Location and friendly staff

Great location if you need to access the hospital and shopping. Rooms are a little out of date - i.e. cracked wall paper... and the halls smell like old smoke. a little refresher on the place would go a long way.

We just wanted a clean, comfortable place to stay as we

We just wanted a clean, comfortable place to stay as we were attending a wedding in the area. This hotel met our needs. The group price for the wedding guests was somewhat high for a Travelodge.

Good location

I stayed here mostly because of the location and I have stayed here before. Very handy for shopping.
The hotel is clean and quiet. The breakfast in the morning is quite adequate. Boiled eggs, muffins, juice, instant oatmeal, coffee, hot chocolate, yogurt, bagels and 3 or 4 kinds of cold cereal. It is served from 6 - 9 am.

Enjoyable Stay

I just checked out of this Travelodge and wanted to share with you the good experience we had. Let me start from the moment we checked in. Lynne was super friendly, helpful in every way, told us things of interest and was genuinely very pleasant and helpful. Told her we had two small dogs at which point in time, she... more

Nice Location

My family and I spent a night here in June, and our stay was pretty good...we were part of a Hockey Team visiting Barrie for a tournament, and had a block of rooms...the Front Desk staff wasn't as accommodating as I had expected as when we arrived, we were informed that the rooms weren't ready as discussed, and we were... more

No Complaints

We stayed 09.28.13 and were very pleased with our room. We had no issues with our room whatsoever, the beds were comfortable and clean. The hot tub and pool were very warm and no issues. The hotel was sold out for the weekend so the front desk had very few extra pillows to hand out but other then that, no... more

Tough Mudder

Great location, close to the 400 highway !!! Easy to get too !!!

Pretty good for a stopover

If you just need a cheaper place to crash, this is a good option but I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who is looking for a quiet place to stay during the summer. It's definitely a spot for younger people to stay with large groups of friends. The parking lot looked a bit like a tailgate party at times. While... more

Look somewhere else

We’ve been going to the Travelodge on Bayfield for 6 nights every summer for the past 5 years. We choose this Travelodge because it is the only hotel on Bayfield and we need this location. The quality of the hotel has been going down every year and it is in dire need of renovations! One leg of our bed was... more

close to highway

very poor to get into the parking lot also very poor to get out of

1. no elevator. 2. hallway mirror inside the room need to be secure. A child can pull it off very easily. 3. All doors in the common area need to install an automatic button especially the front entrance.

第一次去加拿大，所以很多东西都不明白，前台的员工提供了很多帮助。

This was a quiet place. I slept like a baby. The room was nice although a bit dated. Our children enjoyed third stay... It started out great for them. As we checked in the were treated to some cookies. They were sold on this place already. We stayed stayed two nights and enjoyed each of them. They have a nice... more

Thumbs Up

We stayed in room 155 for a couple of nights with our two kids. It really surprised us. It's so quiet inside! If you know Bayfield Street in Barrie you will be wowed by that statement. My husband is a light sleeper and slept like a baby. The pool is nice but the hot tub for 10 is even better.... more

Okay accomodations

The room was okay although their was duct tape in the bathroom(?). The location was also good, which is close to the highway which is good for heading to Wasaga beach and other locations The only negative I have is that the hallways were filthy with bits of paper and other junk in it.
Also, a positive is that they... more

We had our dogs with us for the trip , the rooms where clean the dogs where each given each a poop bags and treats I thought that was VERY thoughtful. I would go there again for sure!

A nice quiet place to stay with no surprises

I stayed at this hotel for three nights and really like it.
I have to say this was the best hotel I have stayed at in Barrie, Ont. even if it was the most expensive.
The room was nice and clean and air conditioned. There was a big screen TV and everything worked.

Horrible!!! Do not stay here

We booked this motel months in advance and the staff we very rude, we were disgusted at how they spoke with customers at the front desk and we were then put in a smoking room. We asked for a different room and were told no. The lady in front of us cancelled her room because they didn't need it and... more

Our room was very outdated.It wasn't very clean and the shower went from cold to hot at least 6 times during my shower.It smelled damp and moldy.

Felt like I was sleeping in someone's basement

We stayed at this hotel for a baseball tournament. We asked for a non-smoking room but I could still smell stale smoke either coming from the venting and from the hallways. The rooms were very dark....even when you opened the curtains. I was surprised to see that the room came equipped with a microwave and a flat screen TV as... more

when me and my daughter first went looking for the swimming pool we ended up going through the smokers section. The hallway was smelly of stale smoke.

Nice Hotel Great location Friendly staff the smell of smoke in stair wells is a little much and could use better beds but would stay there again

Its not a five star but it was clean, nice pool and hot

Its not a five star but it was clean, nice pool and hot tub. It wasn't bad until Saturday night when they had a lot of loud people in the hallways and outside around 3:00am.

Enjoyed the locality and cleanliness

Location, comfortable rooms. Time for breakfast convenient

They seemed to have a lot of rowdy young people staying on our floor.
It was very loud, we had an awful night sleep. Breakfast buffet was
skimpy, always missing items, not convenient for our schedule, we
needed to eat and be on the go. Need to designate a quiet section and
offer it to guests.

Pleasant Stay

Hotel was clean and staff very courteous. Driveway too close to intersection, made leaving irritating.

excellent accomodatiob

Tough Mudder 2013

All good except for the key card initially not being programmed properly. Had me walking around the building with luggage after 5 hours on the 400.

Reliable and friendly

The hotel accommodated me with an early check-in on a Sunday following a very busy Saturday night. I really appreciate that they took my circumstances into consideration.My room was clean and quiet. Even though this hotel is far from new it has widescreen tvs and is staffed by pleasant, helpful people.

Every thing I expected

We spent Friday and Saturday nights at this place. Can't be beat for location. Also top notch reception personel. Happily there were no hockey tournaments going on and it was fairly quiet. On the plus side, it has a nice indoor pool and large hot tub that is above average temperature, with two very strong jets for deep relaxaaaation. And... more

April 2013

Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Security guard was a pain in the neck....our group had an entire section of the hotel and he kept on us to keep in our rooms and close the doors for noise. Who were we disturbing?? We were all together!!

Still upgrading but still great place to stay

This is our usual stopping place and we've written a review last year but thought a recent review would help others. Since we are retired we never travel on weekends where motels are crowded and noisy so this is for a weeknight (Monday). As usual the staff was great, the breakfast great and the price great. We were disappointed that... more

Room for improvement

It's obvious that Travelodge is trying to upgrade it's image as well as the amenities and aesthetics of it's inns. While it has improved in many areas, my recent stay(s) at the Barrie, Ontario location indicates (to me) need for improvement in the key area of getting a good nights sleep. The flat screen TV is nice, as is having... more

Not wheelchair accessible made it very heart for me since I broke my leg... Small entry ways Very dark room

A wonderful stay at a Great hotel

I recently stayed at the Travelodge Barrie on Bayfield for a third time, and this hotel never disappoints. From the great location, to the clean and comfortable rooms to the absolutely wonderful staff, there isn't a single thing that could have been improved.
I'll definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to friends and family.

was not advised that they no longer participate in HBC reward points. all litterature in the rooms still lists it as a reward option.

In January 2013, I unexpectedly stopped in on a Sunday evening when trying to get into Collingwood from Toronto but turned back from highway 26 when the snowstorm became too much and visibility on the road was very low.

I was greeted by Lynn at the front desk. She was very nice and offered me a special "snow rate," which was actually even better than a CAA discount. Despite some glitches in... more

did not have a good sleep

had a good night until the smoke dector in our room went off at 5:10 am, we had to take the battery out of it to get it to stop beeping, so not a very good night sleep for the 4 of us

Great Price for Great Rooms

I stayed at this Inn for 3 nights due to business trip in Barrie.The place is located conveniently right off the highway, close to malls and shopping district. At the same time, very close to Georgian College Barrie Campus.People were friendly and although there were great variety of food choices for the breakfast provided, it was good enough.Oh did I mention the huge parking lot?

Thanksgiving Visit

This hotel is just perfect for the visiting our family in Innisfill. The biggest problem we had was our first night there. There was a LaCrosse team there and it seemed like the whole team was on our floor. My suggestion is to keep teams away from families. The last KNOCK on my door was at 4:30am. Needless to say, my daughter and I were exhausted the next day. Once the team left, we had a great... more

Way nicer than you'd expect

This was my first time at this hotel. Staff were all very friendly and the room was big and well-equipped and very clean.

The hotel is very well located

The hotel is very well located to travel, right next to the 400. The hot tub was broken, the ice machine too, the pool close too early (10pm). The serve-yourself breakfast was very decent. Bagels, cereals, juices, it could end later than 10 am.

Everything was excellent The staff offer all disounts that appliedI'll use it again
