Gravenhurst Hotel Guide - Sparrow Lake hotels in Gravenhurst, Canada.

"Great staff but need to clean the grounds."

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment I arrived until checkout, every aspect of my experience exceeded expectations. The kitchenette in my room was a fantastic feature – well-equipped, clean, and incredibly convenient. It's rare to find such a thoughtfully designed space that actually makes you feel at home rather than just passing through. The location is absolutely perfect, with easy access to everything I needed during my visit - note there is a pharmacy, hotels and the Muskoka Discover Centre around the corner. But what truly sets this hotel apart is the extraordinary staff. When I checked in, I was exhausted from traveling and half-jokingly mentioned to the woman at the front desk that I desperately needed chocolate cake. I honestly didn't expect anything to come of it – after all, the hotel doesn't serve chocolate cake. But to my absolute amazement, she took my request seriously and promised to find some for me. I thanked her politely but privately wondered how on earth she was going to make that happen. Well, she did. The dedication and genuine care this staff member showed went so far above and beyond normal hospitality that I'm still impressed. It's this kind of personal attention and willingness to go the extra mile that transforms a good hotel stay into an unforgettable one."

"Overall nice stay. Breakfast had nice variety, staff was constantly replenishing food."

"Clean, lots of activities gor the kuds, choices on menus"

"Stay was good. Breakfast was busy and ran out of items but would quickly refill. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable and hotel was quiet. "

"Staff was wonderful, breakfast was nice. Shower could have used a bit better attention for cleaning. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay. "

"The rooms were modern, clean and spacious. Every single staff member we encountered was extremely kind and the view from our balcony was gorgeous. Would definitely return. "

"We stayed in a ground floor, tidy, clean motel style apartment. The balcony overlooked the lake and was warm and comfortable. Nice hot shower and a well equipped kitchinette. The staff were very friendly and even gave us a larger unit than the one we booked. Great value for money. "

"The cottage was quite nice and in a good location. We enjoyed the stay overall. When we first arrived, the cottage was very cold. Once we figured out how to heat the place, it was quite cozy. For the owners, I recommend turning the heat up before someone is coming, or leave an instruction book detailing how to use the pellet stove to keep the cottage at a good temperature (including overnight instructions would be helpful too). There are a few baseboard heaters, but the stove is absolutely required to heat the whole place.A couple of things surprised me - in order to get to the hot tub, we had to walk all the way around the house to get to it. It was very cold and snowy - so this wasn't ideal. The hot tub also had a lot of dirt on the cover, which didn't give us confidence regarding the cleanliness of the hot tub underneath. There also wasn't a lot of privacy, and there were quite a few cameras on the property (which is fine for entrances etc., but maybe not having one pointed in the direction of the hot tub?). Also, the listing stated that the kitchen was fully equipped - however, if you only have access to the main part of the house, there is no oven. We had planned to make homemade pizza and were quite disappointed when we had to go get take-out. Overall - the place is great, and I think it would be fantastic to stay in the summer! Just a little more transparency on the listing an instruction booklet for managing heating and the hot tub"
