Super 8 by Wyndham Barrie South

“Generally we would not stay at a Super 8 (not to be snobby or anything - just tends not the best the preferred choice of ppl we travel with). That said, the hotel was very well located, the staff was very friendly and overall the hotel and rooms were clean. On the downside - the hotel has not been refurbished in 15-20 years in the oublic spaces, and likely 25 or more within the rooms. As a result the is no "technology" to speak of. Additionally, while there is a pool it is SMALL - I mean smaller than a backyard postage size pool - and the deepest point is 3 feet (36 inches). Finally, they do offer a free breakfast - of which I can say the bread, cereal, coffee, yogurt and sausages were edible ------ the scrambled eggs are a HARD PASS and are pretty much the worst I have ever tried to eat (and I am even counting that time my twins made scrambled eggs for Father's Day at age 4 or so, complete with extra shells) So down to the main questions - 1. Would I stay here again? Ya - it was clean and on the low cost side, while still extremely well located and able all else safe. 2. Would I recommend to friends and family? I guess it depends what they were looking for - a lost cost place to lay your head for a couple days; or a base of operations to keep you and family rested while planning further excursions into the depths of Barrie, or even into Toronto ............ I would leave that up to them I suppose.”

“You never know what you will “get” when you book a Super 8. This location is one of the best I have experienced. I arrived early (actually checked in online) and was given my room immediately. The lady at the front desk was pleasant and welcoming. The room was a queen disability room. I was surprised to see a spa tub in the corner of the bedroom area. I did not use it but think it would be great in the winter months. An extremely comfortable bed with 3 pillows. The bathroom had a walk in shower (which I love) and all the usual amenities (soap, shampoo, etc). The location of this property is perfect. You have several dining options, all within walking distance. Everything from fast food up to and including some “finer” dining around the corner. The only item of disappointment was that the ice machine was broken. Hopefully that will get fixed before the summer season really booms. After experiencing this stay, I changed my reservations from other properties to this one. I will be back a few times this summer.”

“This is by far the best experience for a 2 star hotel. Reception is friendly efficient and helpful. Room is spacious with a nice seating area. Has all the amenities like microwave fridge and a separate are for making tea/coffee. Also has an iron for clothes. The shower is ok strong with hot water. Heater throughout the entire hotel is top notch. Nice warm and cozy. Hot breakfast with ample selection. Location is ideal. Close to many family restaurants and shopping. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay again if in area. Better choice than in blue mountain which is my intended destination. Save tons of money staying here. They also clean my room eventhough I did not request it. A bonus. Keep up the good work”

“The room was very clean and comfortable for the one night we stayed. Staff very friendly. At the breakfast bar there was no apple juice and when I asked the attendant quickly changed the container and then politely advices us it had been replaced. This is the second time we have stayed at this Super 8 and have been pleased with both stays. We will be back.”
