Great location, 2 mins from the water and 1 min from the main street, easy 2 min walk to the market and restaurants. Room was small but clean, modern bathroom, nice size tv, friendly staff. I would stay again.

The parking on site is limited, probably ten spots. We weren't told at check in about the parking a 3 min walk away, found out the hard way when we couldn't park out back when we arrived back one evening after dark. As a solo female traveler I would be worried about parking a distance away after dark and having to walk alone, just my personal feelings about it. No good place to pull up and unload your stuff if parking lot is full.

The room was very nice despite it being cool in the basement used air conditioner a couple times briefly. Had extra pillows in bed. The room was very clean overall as well and was mostly quiet except for a bit of traffic on the street at night

The traffic on the street at night did eventually end though. I had problem using the card to open door found out should have had arrow pointing down to open the door from the slot area had no problem after that when it was explained to me. The room was a bit cool even with no air conditioning on considering it was the basement though.

This seems to be an old hotel that has been recently renovated to become and upscale, almost a deluxe hotel. Let me explain: Our room was small and the hallways were a bit confusing (like an older hotel) but the bathroom was very clean, bright and modern. The sleeping area was a bit crowded but the clothes closet, TV, headboard and general finishes were all upscale and definitely not not like a "Dollar Hotel". The window had three (THREE) pull-down blinds to absolutely shut out the morning sun if you wished to sleet in. Also, there are lots of interesting shops and cafe's within a 5 minute walk like the Mariposa Market on Mississauga St.

Unfortunately, they don't have many on-site parking spaces but they do have a large off-site parking lot only a block away. That was absolutely fine for us (aged 70+), but older or handicapped people may have trouble.

Easy to find & walking distance to downtown, which was nice. The breakfast was good - I enjoyed how the seating was laid out, classy - not cafeteria style. The staff were helpful with good recommendations for dinner. Comfy bed and great pillows!

It's an old, (refurbished) historic hotel, so its location has limited the parking available. They do compensate by providing a parking voucher for public parking up the street, but it's a walk. They advertise Fionn MacCool's restaurant, attached to the hotel, but it closes in the 'off-season' so had to eat elsewhere.

The room was very clean and the hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Centrally located. Very good option when visiting Orillia.

I didn't like that the parking lot is so small. I parked in a marked parking space but someone decided to park illegally and blocked me in. When I cam back to park a second time, the lot was completely full. We were offer an alternative but it is a couple of blocks away and it was very cold to walk on the night I stayed over so it was a bit of an inconvenience. Glad we were given the alternative though.

Super friendly welcome at reception. I received an upgrade when I mentioned I had come all the way from Belgium to visit Gordon Lightfoot's hometown. Perfect location to walk to the Lightfoot statue near Lake Couchiching and the town center. I even walked to the cemetery. The wonderful restaurant "The Common Stove" on Mississaga street is a few minutes' walk and not to be missed!! There is no cleaning service if you only stay for a few days but I found that quite nice because no one's bothering you. Good coffee machine in the room. I felt very comfortable and "free" since no one bothered me about anything :-).

Breakfast is not worth that name. I just had a glass of juice and a cookie in the morning. I guess some people might feel unsafe since you can just walk in and out of the hotel unnoticed (there was often no one at the reception desk) but it did not really bother me. The standard rooms (some?) are a bit worn but I was very happy with mine (upgraded, with view towards the center).

The hotel room was very comfortable and very clean. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was fine, just grab and go stuff like muffins and toast. I would definitely stay here again if I was staying in the area.

The parking behind the hotel is small and a little sketchy to be honest. They offer free parking at another lot around the corner, but in my opinion it is a much nicer place to park than the lot attached to the hotel.

It was our first time staying at the Champlain and would highly recommend. The staff are great and very helpful. The beds and pillows are wonderfully comfortable. Great location near shops and restaurants.

No complaints at all, just a suggestion. Room 109 could do with a small wardrobe to hang clothes. There is some room beside the bed closest to the bathroom. Thank you

The room was quite adequate and the use of space very functional. The beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was well organized and a good selection and variety of various cereals, yogurt, bagels, pastries, etc. The front desk staff were excellent, professional and friendly. Would like to give a special shout out to Front Desk Agent, Darcelle! She arrange for an early check in for us as we were attending a wedding in the area.
