I booked this place online as there are very few options in Barry's Bay and the photos looked decent enough. When we got there after a long drive from Hamilton, ON we stepped in the room. The first thing that stuck me was the stench and then I realized there was no heat, this was the beginning of January. There was used tissue stuck to the wall, there was gum stuck on the bedside table. The bathroom was disgusting. When we went to get out money back and find a new place to stay the guy at the desk said there were no refunds. I told him that wasn't good enough, so he got on the phone with someone else. He then said he would refund half of our money. I lost it, I threatened them that I would write a review on every single online site I could find. I finally got my money back. This is the only review I wrote. DO NOT STAY THERE. 

How on earth does this place have 4.5 Stars?

We left after only a 15 minutes stay. Horrible smell. Dirty carpets, towels. The bed linens were ok but the rest of the room was looking really dirty. Wouldn’t recommend it. A lot of beautiful lodges around.

Wouldn’t recommend it.

The prize was fair. The accommodations in all were good. The backyard of motel was pretty. Close to small beach. Good location. Owners are nice. When called to change sheets and get more towels they were prompt. Fridge, microwave, seating area. Good 

Good and Fair

We booked a "Deluxe Double Room". What does "Deluxe" mean at Pinewood Inn?

- Very noisy AC from the neigboring room caused the entrance door to resonate - "perfect" for a quiet night
- In one night the room neighbors made party until 3 am. We called the staff for help at 2 am: No response.
- When guests pushed the office buzzer it ringed right behind our room (until late in the evening)
- When we asked the staff to avoid the noise in the night (e.g. other room) they did not even try to find a solution
- No room service within 4 days
- Bath-toilet cell: vent did not work, tub stained, warm water only after several minutes
- During rain the carpet became wet from below!
- Unreliable WiFi
- We got many "useful instructions": Not to use the towells in case of make-up or dirty hands, not to use the AC at daytime (thus causing noise in the nights), ask to save electricity

All in all: a blatant contrast to the other motels we booked before in Canada.

Avoid

Room was small, so small there was only 1 night table on one side of the double bed. It was room 19 .  Furniture was run down, needed replacement or at least refinishing. Walls had peeling wallpaper and a very large vertical crack in it. Bathroom did have a new toilet, but the size of the room was so small, that it was extremely close to the wall. Worse part about it, was the sheets on the bed were old, had pilling and to make matters worse looked slept in when we pulled back the blankets. They had a very musty /cupboard smell . We were the only ones staying there that night (March 21,2022). That in itself was a bad sign. They have a no refund policy once it was booked, and that was the only reason we stayed. Would never stay there again even if it was free.

Horrible! Would never stay there again!

rooms not bad but infested with spiders, garbage was never taking away in the 5 days we stayed there so I`m surprised we did not have some big 4 legged visitors . Not to mention the 1 barbecue they had was not safe to be using and needed replaced ASAP . New owners kept all the exterior lighting turned off at nights so place was in darkness front and back .  We also replaced the Canadian Flag out front that was shredded. This place could be great again if the new owners keep up the standards the previous owners had .

Conditions Poor with new owners

We visited this establishment on August 29th with our young son and our parents.

The rooms are kept very clean and nice
BBQs were available for our use, the view is beautiful.

Evette was amazing she answered all of our questions and recommended that we check out the logging exhibit in Algonquin Park, which we did and thoroughly enjoyed.

We will definitely visit again 

Thanks again Evette

Beautiful and cozy

Great location. Close to town, but far enough away to feel peaceful. There’s a path with a short walk to the beach and park. The room was large enough to eat at the table. The weather was beautiful and we ate at the back in the evenings where there are bbq’s and patio furniture over looking the lake. The owners were friendly and available to answers any questions.

Nice view

Comfy rooms, relaxing outdoor area to BBQ and unwind after a long day riding!!
Yvette went over and above to make sure our stay was enjoyable.
Definitely staying again!!!
If you are looking for that small town hospitality this is the place too stay. 💯

Great place to stay when touring on motorcycles

I've stayed here a few times now over the past three years. I can always depend on a friendly greeting and a clean room at a reasonable price. There is always a towel available, specifically for cleaning the bike.Having easy access to the back yard with its picnic tables, Muskoka chairs, and bbq is a nice touch.  The view of the Madawaska River is relaxing, and it's only a short walk to the beach. Close proximity to all that Barry's Bay has to offer, and a great location as a home base to explore Ontario's Highlands.
