Not too much, perhaps extra amenities like a pool, but I understand that's part of what keeps the prices down for the hotel as well.

As its name suggests, Champlain Waterfront is right by the water, offering a very short and convenient walk to downtown Orillia as well as the waterfront by Centennial Park. As a family of 4, this was great because everything was within a 10 minute walk (15 with a stroller). For those who prefer to save money dining, a stocked Metro is nearby as well. The hotel has a microwave in the lobby area that we made use of for heating up our leftovers. The breakfast from 7am-10am is surprisingly robust for a free continental. The standout is the fresh made waffles from the waffle machine. Everything was clean and staff were kind and professional.

The front desk clerk was no where to be found for 15 minutes during a busy check out. When mentioned by another patron, response was not the right answer. The cleaning staff was trying to assist as much as possible.

The facility was clean, breakfast was ok. Quiet which I loved.

The basic boring breakfast! Packaged, instant, convenience foods with no nutritional value at all. Unripe fruit doesn't count. Europeans will be sadly disappointed by the "continental breakfast". Not everyone is a coffee drinker so kettles in rooms as well as coffee-makers would be a big help.

Clean, comfortable and well-equipped room and bathroom. 5 minute walk to the water and in a great location for exploring the area. Good wi-fi, air-conditioning, fridge and comfortable bed.

The breakfast is not strong, it could be better(add eggs)

Location is good between 2 beaches and near downtown. The staff is kind.

The front desk needs people that smile and know to greet customers. The breakfast was not great. The juice machine did not work because no one turned it on. The make your own waffles had a sign but no machine to make them. It needs help

The room was comfortable and clean; The breakfast keeps on getting worse. The common areas were clean.

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.

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 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.

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 breakfast was lacking protein. Toast, muffins and waffle altho convenient are lacking sustenance.. We were in a basement room. The hallways had laundry piled the entire duration of our stay

The location of the hotel was excellent. Walking distance to beach and restaurants

The corridor was so warm plus the breakfast need more items such as boild eggs more bread selections plus the quantity was very limited. .

All was good accept we was looking for atraction and some lake activities such as kayaking,water jet skiing and other facilities available around we where disappointed at least you can have related dealers.

as we were checking out I noticed that all the travel brochures and information books on the area were tucked away on shelves behind the reception desk. I questioned whey they were not on display and was told they did'nt have a stand to put them on. Well, Home Depot is in town and Amazon could ship one there! We would have liked to have a look at the literature when we checked in to the hotel to better plan out visit. We had chosen this hotel based on the photos on the booking site which showed a packed patio restaurant as part of the hotel. Upon arrival we were told it had been closed for a very long time and it was under construction. On that rainy night we had to drive around looking for a decent restaurant to have dinner. Not a great way to start our mini-vacation. Also, in a room with a king bed, there was only one chair to sit on!

The continental breakfast was minimal and by 9.15 am there was no more coffee, no more toast, no more bananas and the person on the desk was scrambling, along with guests to find the supplies!
