The Comfort Inn is located conveniently off of the 400 in Barrie next to a Best Western and Travelodge. It's probably about a mile from the downtown area.
Although the building and common areas show lots of signs of wear and tear, the room itself was surprising clean and comfortable. The towels were clean, there was plenty of hot water, the lighting was good in the bathroom. The bed came with four fluffy pillows with clean sheets. The AC and television worked fine. The extra item that I didn't expect but found in the room was free wireless internet access. Overall for a budget motel there were many positive points.
As for the negatives, the property is located very close to the freeway so you will likely hear the noise of cars zooming by in your room. It may be better to ask for a room in the back part of the building. The lobby is small and cramped. There is no place to sit down to enjoy the free continental breakfast and read the free complimentary copy of the Toronto Star.
The front desk were friendly and competent.
