What guests think

Across many reviews, Comfort Inn & Suites is praised for clean, renovated rooms, friendly service, and a convenient location off Highway 400 near restaurants, while several guests note drawbacks such as no elevator, a cramped breakfast area, and dated exteriors.

Rooms are generally comfortable and spacious, with many recently updated, though some report noise from hallways, worn furnishings, or weak water pressure and patchy Wi-Fi/TV. Breakfast is a popular free perk with hot items, but supply, seating, coffee quality, and early cutoff times disappoint on busy mornings. Parking and exterior maintenance draw comments (potholes, construction), and the lack of an elevator creates accessibility challenges; visible security makes some guests feel safe while others feel uneasy about the area. Overall, expect a budget-friendly, convenient stop with comfortable rooms and tradeoffs in amenities and polish.

I love that there is security on site overnight in the hallway and also in the rear parking lot. It made me feel safer when traveling alone.

The staff were friendly, the food was good at breakfast and the rooms were clean with good amenities, except for the lack of a place to hang clothes or drawers for clothes. The one problem for me was that the fitness Centre was a disgrace. All the equipment was broken.

The parking situation, the 2nd through 3rd night we stayed was bad, especially if returning to the hotel in the evening. Granted, there was construction being done but when dealing with a parent with mobility issues it added extra strain. The staff was nice but since their parking lot is already small and obtuse in its design it seems someone would have thought to work in smaller sections, rather than blocking off whole sides of the building to accommodate guests. The location was great, I appreciated the dog accommodation and the staff was professional.

Hotel was fine, clean rooms. Security all around and we were not told why and were a bit concerned. When asking the following morning what was going on it was explained. It would have been nice them telling us when we booked in. However with the security around it helped make us feel safe.

To be honest I was disgusted by the room. It was not clean. Remote had a mountain of dust, maggots in the corner near the bathroom. Dirty towels, bedsheets had hair on them. I even took pictures. I would never go back. For the amount I paid I was shocked at the state of the hotel. No elevator so inconvenient. When I asked for later check out was told to come tomorrow morning. When I asked for a later check out again they gave only 1 hour. I was willing to pay for a later time but they wouldn’t offer said it’s fully booked but I was able to book another night. Which makes no sense.

Arrived at the property and it felt unsafe. They had two security guards out front. Neither were welcoming and neither was the front desk staff. Very disappointing! Then We discovered live cockroaches in the room. The whole atmosphere was awful and we did not feel safe there. Way overpriced compared to other facilities.

Honestly this hotel really over delivers! The comfort level of the beds, pillows and linens is a solid 5 stars. The hotel shows wear and tear, so our expectations for comfort weren’t set super high. We all commented the next morning about how excellent the beds were and how well we all slept. The friendly staff also contributed to our excellent stay.

Room is relatively clean other than a hairy bathroom counter, USB receptacles that didn’t work an entry door that did not feel terribly secure and very droopy wallpaper peeling off the walls likely due to heat and humidity, but nonetheless gave the room an overall seedy feel. I’m back next weekend due to work. I sure hope the room I get is better.

Had to wait to check in while the concierge appeared to be chatting with a buddy or co-worker. During that wait, it would have been nice to be acknowledged but that wasn't the case. Once served, the clerk was polite. Upon entering our room, there was a puddle in the hearth of unknown origin. A puddle. We threw towels over it. The puddle never returned. Wifi didn't work. Ground floor room. Called front desk to report the problem and was told he'd call back after contacting maintenance. The call never came, nor did the Wifi for the duration of our stay. Beyond that, a completely average hotel. But because of the aggravations, a below average stay. Can't recommend.

Location is convenient right off Highway 400 and within walking distance of several restaurants and coffee shops. Several reviews describe the surrounding area as rough or sketchy, with loitering, which some say is offset by the security presence.

I recently stayed at Comfort Inn & Suites Barrie and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is excellent—right off Highway 400 and close to restaurants and downtown Barrie. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which made check-in and check-out smooth. The room was clean and equipped with useful amenities like a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The free hot breakfast was a nice bonus, and the free parking and Wi-Fi added great value. On the downside, the décor feels a bit dated in some areas, and the facilities are fairly basic compared to more modern hotels. However, for the price, it’s a good option for short stays or business trips.

Breakfast was included, however lacked variety and quality. Limited cups. Orange juice was basically coloured water. Was to be ready for 6AM. Was not. Still little by 6:30 AM. Garbage outside on property had broken bags strewn about. Bit gross.

The room was clean and the mattress seemed pretty new. The parking lot was cramped, we had a hard time finding a spot. Breakfast was disappointing - the scrambled eggs were those pre-formed pucks. There was no ketchup, and the waffle batter was weird. I would theoretically stay again but it wouldn’t be a first choice.

No face towels. Sunday breakfast at 9:00 had long lineups and was empty of almost all food options. No yogurt, sausages or bacon, one serving left of scrambled eggs when I got there. Horrible coffee because of “shelf stable” fake creamers. No real cream for coffee. Real milk only available because of cereal. Although that and the syrup for waffles ran out quickly. A couple of sad apples left. I had to interrupt receptionist who was involved in a very long discussion with a disgruntled customer, to tell receptionist about the breakfast problems. She said the worker was making the missing items. People waited in a line up for a long time after that when the sole worker showed up with a little bowl of eggs, then after five to ten more minutes showed up with a little bowl of sausages and repeat. There was no where to sit, so we sat in the lobby chairs to eat our breakfast. Otherwise the room was nice and clean, the bed was comfortable with clean white linens, shower pressure was fine. Check out to get back $150 damage deposit was quick and easy. Staff were very nice people.

The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a busy (Thanksgiving) weekend. I noticed that there didn’t seem to be many staff around. Unfortunately the breakfast was lacking. It is billed as a full breakfast. It was more than continental, but not by much. Supplies like syrup, butter and creamers were not there, and had to be asked for. The bread and pastries were stale, as was the cut fruit salad. They should not have been put out for service. Pieces were old, and it was not appetizing at all. At the time, there was no one available to tell, unfortunately, as they were likely busy elsewhere. It didn’t ruin the stay, but it was a disappointing way to end it.
