Blue Mountain Inn

Mediocre for the package $$ my hubby purchased. I believe he bought the romance package which was over 400 $/​per night. It was actually a bit odd the room we were given since it had 2 double beds for a romance package lol. It was nice that it came with champagne upon arrival tho. It was also low season so the blue mountain hills were not yet opened so not sure why it was that pricey.
The village was completely dead. I am surprised all the stores are still open tho!
We also stayed with our dog. They were very welcoming to dog owners. Possibly the reason why we were given that specific room. It was on the 2^nd floor and the balcony had stairs down to the main floor so that you could walk your pup in/​out without going through the hallways of the hotel. I believe it was only $ 50 a night extra to have a dog. It was part of a dog hotel package which was suppose to include dog bed, treats, food, baggies and bowls. We had only received the dog bed and a huge treat once we called in twice for them.
This hotel also has indoor pool and hot tubs. Also 3 hot tubs outside! It would be nice to go during the winter. We did not opt to go swimming tho since it was a bit packed during night. But during day there was no one there.
They have 2 billiard tables inside in lobby. $ 2 per play. As well they have free wifi but only in the lobby which was a very inconvenient inside the room.
The room does come with the essentials. However the tv was smaller than expected probably 32″.
We also tried out their restaurant for breakfast. They do breakfast buffet for $ 16 eggs, sausage, cereal, French toast etc. I opted for the eggs Florentine.

Had to write this before our stay was over. Will edit if experience gets better.
Stayed Feb 27 – 28 2015.
Floor dirty when we got here. TV didn’t work. Fixed quickly though.
Room service brought breakfast in a timely manner, but food was not hot, toast was soggy. Server forgot coffee and tea.
I assume this is the less expensive place to stay at the hill, but it has been disappointing so far.

Five stars for one reason: it promotes middle class stability, and makes luxury available to all with a modest income who don’t need to over do it. No wobbly, creaky motels in the area that are charming enough to stay at. Along with overpriced village counterparts, this is the reasonably priced ($ 159 weekend /​$ 109 offseason) option.
Full service spa. Outdoor hot tubs. Indoor hot tubs. Saunas. An indoor spacious pool (with diving depth!). Spacious, woodsy rooms. High thread count. Room service. Full bar delivered to room.
As a stand alone hotel in the middle of nowhere, on a completely dead weekend — «the dead weekend of the year between ski & summer season» — coming here was a complete respite. Like what they wanted in The Shining, but… you know… better.
I’d imagine that during peak season, the price is higher, but the way this place rests as the moderate choice in the ski village, it’s the right choice no matter what you need. I would recommend figuring out a way to eat on your own rather than in the village or room service. Like a pack a microwave? I’m not sure. The $ 20 fish & chips down the street cancels out the money you’ll save on your May Two Four weekender.
Also, don’t go to Wasaga.

I happened upon this place between ski season and cottage season at 2am on a Saturday night and my driver and I* decided this would be a funny place to stop. We started the day off looking for fun places to eat and see and stay in northern Ontario, and we certainly succeeded.
We swore we’d be cheap, we’d stay in a motel, we wouldn’t break the bank. Now this place wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t over-​the-​top expensive so we went for it. Nice rooms, flat screen TVs, mountain views (which we wouldn’t discover until morning) and a free shuttle to the Blue Mountain Ski Village… think tiny and cheaper Tremblant.
The next day we headed to Collingwood, Wasaga and Meaford. Collingwood and Meaford had nothing we were looking for (maybe we really aren’t cut out for crappy motels?) and Wasaga was terrifying. Like rural Florida, only worse. Just quite ridiculous and the only place I’ve ever seen someone walk into a restaurant, sit down and get service while wearing no shirt or no shoes. What? That’s right. No Shirt. No Shoes. No Problem in Wasaga.
As the day progressed we decided to return to our faithful ski resort inn. Why not? The pull of the heated pool and the outdoor hot tubs was too much to resist. We checked out only to check right back in.
PEPPER’S PISSED: I really dislike it when nice hotel rooms only have showers. I love me a hotel bath.
*My driver and I is a fun thing to say, albeit a bit rude.
