What guests think

At Stone Gate Inn, travelers highlight spacious suite-style rooms with kitchenettes and comfortable beds, friendly front-desk teams, and a convenient location near Highway 11 and downtown, but they also note dated decor, recurring temperature issues, and ongoing renovations.

Housekeeping and overall cleanliness are often good, though several guests reported dusty areas, stained carpets, or missed service during multi-night stays. The free breakfast draws mixed feedback: many like the variety, while others find limited hot options and a cramped dining space. Facilities are a weak spot, with a frequently cold or closed pool, no hot tub despite some listings, and tight parking. Expect solid value and space, but with uneven upkeep and amenities.

The pool was painfully cold, unusable cold, and there were no clean towels. Additionaly, even though we registered 3 people, the sofa bed did not have any linens. The patio door didn’t lock, and the air conditioning was sub standard. The breakfast was actually really great with fresh eggs and the breakfast attendant was extremely friendly!

We went to use the pool and the water was too cold to go in. We like to book at stone Gate so we can go in the pool. And we had no hot water in our room for a bath or shower. Also they are doing renovations and its a real mess walking on the second floor drywall dust all over the place, they could at least vacuum the carpets Dailey . We did like staying there and we have many times before. But we may look elsewhere from no on.

There were bugs in the cereal. I have been trying for a week to speak with the hotel manager and he is not getting back to me. The hotel said there was a hot tub, there is not, The pool heater is broken so the pool was freezing. There was plastic everywhere due to renovations. On friday they were drilling until 4:30pm which could be heard in all the rooms. The hotel was overall just dirty. everything was covered in dust including the bedding. We had to checkout early due to all the issues.

Smelled incredibly strongly of smoke as soon as the door opened. The fridge screeched loudly. Every single wall was covered with stains, drips and dirt. We didn’t want to touch anything because it was so gross. Needs a lot of cleaning and upgrades (iPhone chargers and dvd player).

The coffee was the best and all customers were commending how good it was. The counter staff printed out directions to attractions and restaurants we wanted to use. We will stay at Stone Gate Inn on our next visit to Orillia,

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in April 2025. The room was clean and comfortable, though it was a little out dated. Our one issue was that the room was super warm. There were 2 fans in the room, so we figured this might be an issue. Overall, we might stay here again, but maybe not in the summer, unless it was just because of the change of season, and they haven’t switched from heat to air conditioning.

The property is well maintained, though a bit dated. The rooms and bathrooms were exceptionally clean, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the pillows were extremely hard, and I barely slept through the night. The air conditioner also made a loud noise that kept waking me up, which made it difficult to rest properly. Breakfast was disappointing. Most options were heavy on sugar and carbs, and as someone with insulin sensitivity, I could only have eggs, fruit, and coffee. I was happy to see they offered multigrain bagels, but when I asked the clerk for cream cheese, he said he would bring some out. After waiting and calling him again, he finally told me they had run out. Overall, I’d rather pay more to sleep comfortably elsewhere. I wouldn’t return—anything that disrupts my sleep or limits healthy food options is a dealbreaker for me.

The good? The bed was comfy, rooms were very clean and staff were very friendly. The bad? The room was extremely hot. Like 28 degrees hot. We were sweltering which made it uncomfortable for sleeping. Lowering the thermostat did nothing to lower the heat. The windows don’t open, so there was 0 relief from the heat. The hallways were hotter than that. It was so insane. The breakfast was ok—the eggs though were grey like they had been reheated or something. They weren’t a pretty colour that’s for sure. There was a lot of bread/cereal options. Coffee was lukewarm.

Room door doesn’t close properly which, judging by all the ajar doors on our floor, was not unique to our room. Took a degree of force to close it from the outside, or to swipe the room key so you could turn the handle and close it. The hotel had excellent wifi, from what I could tell in the lobby, but it did not reach our room. The worst thing though… was the breakfast. I am not a fan of free hotel breakfasts. They disinclined my wife to going out for breakfast and instead your stuck with fake eggs, sub-par meats and sugary everything else. But the free breakfast here was perhaps the worst I’ve seen anywhere. One hot item, scrambled eggs that probably came from a carton, was the only hot item. Pastries came from a bag. Weird yogurt. Just horrible. On the plus side staff were very nice, property was clean and convenient to groceries and a convenience store. TV’s were large and worked fine. Beds were comfy with a decent amount of decent pillows.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff was great, especially Alisha at the front desk. She went out of her way with other staff members who searched for our lost phone after we had already arrived home. When she called back to say she found it, was such a caring gesture! We then drove back to Orillia to retrieve it and to personally thank her. She made our day. This goes to show that there are still very honest people around and this took this review to the highest level. Thanks again Alisha!

Booked 2 rooms for 3 days but had unforeseen circumstances requiring us to cancel nights 2 and 3. We gave more 36hrs notice to cancel the rooms but the hotel refused to refund the additional nights for 2 rooms. Horrible business practice. Horrible experience. Our company has multiple contracts in the area over the next several years and we will ensure that none of our staff are permitted to spend a single dollar with this institution.

So i will start this review by stating that staff at the hotel did try their best to deal with the following situation, but despite this our stay was extremely frustrating. We received a phone call from the hotel to check we were still coming. I told them we would get there around 6 and that is when we arrived. Upon arrival, there was an issue with the key card reader on the door of our room (314). We were asked to take a seat for 5 or 10 minutes while the problem was fixed. This was frustrating after 5 hours of driving but also, sometimes things cant be helped so we obliged and didnt make a fuss. The problem was fixed after longer than 10 minutes but again, we were just happy to get in the room. Fast forward to the next day. We went out for the morning, only to return for the key card reader to again not be working. So we couldnt get into our room. So two members of the hotels cleaning staff had to essentially 'break in' to our room for us to gain access, as there was no way of manually by passing the card reader ( those 2 were fabulous to be fair). So we got in to our room, then went out again. While we were out, a staff member replaced the batteries for the second time and reprogrammed the reader for a second time. It worked! Until we went out an hour or so later, then it failed again. Same process. Went to a concert at casino rama. Returned to the hotel at 11pm, couldnt get in, had to wait more than half hour to get in. Waiting for manager to contact us.

Ok for an overnight. Not very conveniently located to enjoy the waterfront or downtown and dining without getting in the car. The hotel and rooms are dated and in need of some upgrading. The exterior around the hotel is in desperate need of some cleanup and weeding of the gardens. Overall it’s okay for a short stay and decent value for the money.
