"I recently spent 3 nights at this hotel. Hotel has a good location with easy access to hwy 21. Can get down to Bayfield for an outing in a hour and 20 minutes. 8 km from Southampton. Beautiful quiet, large room with a full kitchen. Very clean with a comfortable bed and pillows. TV was a bit sketchy but wasn’t there to watch TV. Happy hour at the bar was friendly. I would definitely stay there again. Would like to try it in the summer. Hopefully all Staybridge Hotels are the same👍"
