What guests think

At Oakwood Motel, many guests praise the friendly staff and smooth check-in, while others point out the older, tired look of buildings and exterior areas that sometimes feel unlike the photos shown online.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from spotless cabins to reports of dusty A/C, stained or unclean linens, and missed details. Rooms are basic and dated in finish, with bed comfort varying and occasional late-night noise reported. Several appreciate the quiet, private cabins and a convenient location close to town. Expect a simple, budget-style stay with variable upkeep.

The parking lot for the cabins could be made bigger for getting in and out. The screens on the aluminum doors need to be replaced. Other then that it was good for what we paid

Everything was pretty much booked when we decided to stay on a Saturday in mid-August in Gravenhurst. We wouldn’t normally stay at a motel, but the accommodations are owed by a lovely family who aimed to please. Although the cabins were of a certain age and sparsely decorated, the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. There was a little kitchen area in the room and outdoor tables and chairs, so we enjoyed a coffee the next morning in the sunshine after a restful sleep.

The 'cottages' are little more than a backyard shed with a bathroom addition. Nowhere near worth the value for the room I was charged. Access to my room late at night was barricaded by 2 vehicles, one of which had a couple of men smoking weed and yelling with the vehicle running well past 1 AM. Staff were also insistent on copying down my drivers license, claiming it was standard practice. I've never had another property do it, they verify the name and that's all.

Everything was fine but with one major problem. I never saw so much dust in a room. I don't think any cleaning was done other than changing towels and bedding. The dust was really thick everywhere. I had to clean the shelves to put my clothes on. Once we turned on the AC, we saw dust flying in the air. We removed and cleaned the AC filter and the bathroom vent. The toilet seat had a seal showing that it was cleaned but there where drops of yellow and brown matter on it. The TV screen looked very greasy. We used one glass and it had greasy fingerprints all over it. Anyway we had to do some cleaning before we felt somehow comfortable. But if this housekeeping issue would be addressed and with a bit of painting to refresh the room, everything would be great.

We stayed one night for race at Gull Lake. Place is clean, has what you need, but is definitely older. There had been updates to flooring, counters. Definitely clean. Friendly front desk, close to everything. Beds were new, I found them soft. They have instant coffee, but there is coffee shops near by if that does not work for you. Grateful the AC worked!

Hotel room was ok clean, not a fancy place . You dont get a whole lot for the money you spend now days. Fit and finish of the place was very amateurish. eg " paint, trim, layout etc" .

I have asked for a late check out ahead of time and received a confirmation that the room will be available for an extra hour or so. I confirmed the late check out details when I checked in. When I called back on the check out day at noon (one hour after the check out time) the same guy at the reception said the room is no longer available. Horrible service!
