Our room was OK because of the great p rice. There is no soundproofing so you could hear everytgingfrom the hallway. The deskchair eeded to be replaced, most of the water inthe shower was coming out the tap not the shower head

We liked the hotel except for the bathroom. The shower floor looked disgusting and we didn´t want to shower there. I hope you get to fix that issue because we want to return again but that´s the only throwoff.
5.0
Very clean, good restaurant, and a great casino with $15 minimum live tables! Can’t beat it if you’re in the area.

The rooms don't have a coffee maker. Coffee is available in the lobby from 5am til noon. There is no breakfast but there is a restaurant on site. Prices I find are a little much. You have to drive 10 minutes to amenities as the hotel is on the island. The casino is good if you like to gamble. The room itself is good. The beds are comfortable and clean. There is a rain shower. There is a safe. No microwave but a small fridge is available in the room. Standard channels on TV. Got alot of news and sports.

We arrived early and were able to check-in early so that was helpful. The staff were very nice, the hotel was comfortable, quiet and in a very pretty area - gorgeous nature around, especially in the fall. The room was spacious. Check out the beautiful Indigenous mural outside! We would definitely stay there again.

Great room . Food is excellent in restaurant

I had a ground floor room with a window to the sidewalk which is awkward at best - unsure why this was done?
I wanted to do some writing but the room lighting was so dim, it was difficult to do so, so i went over to the casino seating area to do my work. The room was clean but the bedside light didn't work. Overall, a fine place to sleep, but not a luxury hotel for a casino resort getaway.

very well kept

The hotel was clean and the rooms were comfortable and modern. The only thing is that there is no coffee maker in the room, which doesn't seem like a big deal but was definitely missed while I was there for a week.
5.0
Great Blue Heron rooms are spacious and clean, with nice large bathrooms with a deep tub. The only downside is the lighting is soft and moody, not enough light to read in bed. They had LED lights that might of helped with this problem but ours didn’t work on either side of the bed. There is a food room on the main floor just past the elevators where they offer free coffee and tea in the morning as there is no coffee maker in the rooms. The beds are comfortable. The staff are very friendly and pleasant to deal with. The eatery and restaurant (in the casino right beside the hotel) food was good and the staff were very friendly and personable
5.0
A little out-of-the-way... but the drive out from more populated areas is worth it. The landscape is beautiful with rural charm, which likely will not last long given the rate of urban sprawl in Southern ON.
Hotel is modern... in the middle of the woods. Staff is very friendly and cooperative.

The bedroom was very nice and clean.
I loved the colorful Indigenous Artwork displayed outside.
My family and I were very pleased that the staff was able to provide early check -ins for our rooms as we were attending a wedding that very same day.
The staff was super helpful and gave suggestions as well.

The mattress for our second time in a row was not suitable for someone with back problems to sleep on.
I am very unhappy as we have stayed here more then a few times.l had back surgery in the last year so we booked an accessible room.We complained both times and before checking in we let the desk know.
6.0
Staff was friendly but a bit unprofessional on check in. On check out asked for a slightly later checkout and was told that we could have ‘a few extra minutes because the hotel was full that night’. First, having worked in the industry, not how housekeeping works, not every room starts getting cleaned at checkout time. Second, don’t appreciate being flat out lied to— there were over a dozen rooms available on Expedia to book. Fine, we left at 11:15, but the customer service experience was appalling

Casino was not clean at all,

Housekeeping information and coupon information was not disclosed on checking in. Destination Casino and Hotel so meals somewhat expensive. Only complementary Coffee offered, no breakfast ( basic in casino $40+ for two). Pre-pay rooms so no casino coupons honoured. More than 2 days stay you have to tell when you want you room serviced. Had to ask for clean towels etc

The room was exchanged to a more appropriate one to accommodate disability . This was an effortless change pleasantly done and at no extra cost. Polite and considerate staff. Would highly recommend.

Bed was super soft and there’s no pool for the kids to play

It was nice to have the hotel and casino located in same area for convenience. In our room the floor lamp had a lamp that did not work, no shade etc...it was rather tacky. The carpets needed to be cleaned. They hotel should have coffee makers in their rooms for morning coffee.

Very clean. Lots of children there due to a tournament nearby and you could hear everything in the halls at a very early hour. Not hotel fault however it seemed noisier than normal.
