“Stranded in Owen Sound was a good thing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

I was travelling from Toronto to Kincardine and my car broke down just outside of Owen Sound and it could not be fixed until the next day so I had to find a place to overnight. The tow truck guy recommended the Comfort Inn. So he dropped me off there. I was checked in by a really nice lady called Donna. She helped me with delivery flyers since I had no car to go out for dinner. I found the room to be very clean and comfortable. The room was not a 5 star Hotel by any means but everything was in good shape and most important....Clean. I had a great night sleep and in the morning the Continental Breakfast was really good with a great variety of items. My car was not going to be ready until 1pm and check out time was 11am but the staff allowed me to stay in the room until 1pm which I very much appreciated. I really enjoyed my stay here and I will be back for sure!

Dear Sean B thank you for you kind review of Comfort Inn Owen Sound. We are very pleased your unfortunate situation turned into a great stay with us. Our staff is always happy to provide assistance anyway possible. The breakfast at Comfort Inn is better than most continental breakfasts served at other hotels with lots of extras. We are looking forward to implementing our hot breakfast in the newyear and invite you to come back and try it out.

“Harassed by red-headed night receptionist - he must be fired immediately!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

person found this review helpful

It pains me to write this review since it means I have to relive my terrible ordeal but I’ve put it off long enough.

This place did not start out so bad: I asked for an upgrade at check in (yes apparently they have this at Comfort Inns) but was told it was not possible since I had booked and prepaid online. However, to our surprise, we had been given the largest room in the hotel with a King bed and a separate seating area with 2 sofas, chairs and a work desk – I guess this was their suite. Score one for the Comfort Inn.

We were in town for a wedding and my nightmare began when we got back from the reception. Let me preface this by saying that our group had a total of about 20 rooms in this place and we are all in the same wing. Note the hotel only has 60 rooms so we were occupying 1/3 of a hotel that was not even full to begin with. I digress…..

Given we had a “suite”, a group of us proceeded to continue the festivities in our room. Not 5 minutes after our friends joined us did we begin to be harassed by the night receptionist. It first started with a phone call where we were asked to quiet down. Fair enough, we did. This was followed by several other phone calls stating that he had come to our room, knocked on the door, listened to our noise as is permeated the stairwell, etc. I had finally had enough and marched downstairs to talk to him. He proceeded to say he had security footage of him knocking on our door to quiet us down. When I asked to see the footage I was shown grainy images that could not even confirm if it was indeed our room – for all I know this could have been filmed a week ago! A complete waste of my time! I then walked him over to the bottom of the stairwell where he said he could hear us and guess what - it was perfectly quiet, you could not hear a thing!

Needless to say he ruined the atmosphere and everyone dispersed for the night. Did he leave us alone? NO!!! He proceeded to call to say that leaving the door ajar was a fire violation and that the room was still too noisy – everyone had left! This was pure harassment and I told him as such. He finally left us alone at 3am.

To sum up: you could not pay me enough money to go back to this pit! I have never been treated so poorly in my life! In fact I feel like I deserve to be reimbursed for my troubles. If management has any integrity whatsoever they will comment on this review and get in touch with me for further details (I have no hope they will do this….)

Room Tip: Ask for room 202 - the "suite"

Thank you SophiaSolange for your review of our hotel Comfort Inn Owen Sound. We are very happy to hear that you liked our best room in the house. As for your ordeal we are sorry that you found the service was not up to par. At Comfort Inn our staff takes ANY guest complaints very seriously especially when managing noise issues. The number of rooms held by a guest/group does not determine how much noise they can make, if any guest is disturbed action will be taken immediately if disturbances continue further action will be taken. This issue will be investigated in depth to decide if any further action is necessary. Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel

“Good Thanksgiving weekend stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

I recently had a very pleasant stay at the Comfort Inn. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. I would recommend staying there. The only drawbacks would be that we were placed outside the entrance (room 108) and there was a lot of noise outside the room one evening. The seats of the chairs in the room were very badly stained. It looked grotty. If anything is stained it should not be in the room...it makes it look cheap. Good stay overall though.

“Would recommend to anyone...Fantastic!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

I just wanted to say ,I really enjoyed staying at the Comfort Inn, i stayed september for a business trip.It was a very comfortable setting,crisp clean bedding, my room smelt so fresh ,you can tell its an old building,but they have done a great job keeping up on it.The hotel was FULL with sport players,and yet very little noise.

The Free Continental breakfast in the morning was great ,and fresh coffee all day!
The staff at the hotel were just so polite,and smiling faces, and helpful ,as this was only my second time visiting Owen Sound so I'm a little unsure of my surroundings.
I will deffinitly recommend this hotel to everyone i know that travels to owen sound,and I'll be back on my next tripp in a couple weeks.

#1 on my list!

thank-you for the wonderful hospitality!!

Thank you star c for your pleasant review of our Hotel. We appreciate that you noticed how hard we try to keep our building looking up to date on the inside and the outside our property in my opinion is second to none in Owen Sound we have 2 BBQ’s multiple yard games for kids and the young at heart as well as 2 patio area for guests to relax in. At Comfort Inn Owen Sound is well known with our regular guests that we have a zero tolerance noise policy especially when we have a full house. We take all noise complaints seriously and respond to them immediately. Our continental breakfast is something that we pride ourselves upon even though we haven’t introduced our new hot breakfast our continental breakfast without a doubt above the standard. We hope you continue to stay with us in the future and thank you again for such a pleasant review of our hotel. We will continue to give you service that you rate number 1
