The place is very clean. Very comfortable beds. very close to Arrowhead provential park.
If you wanna enjoy the park and have a good shower with a good sleep at the end of your day that's the place for you.

Better than expected 

Three day stay. Room was fine - clean, everything worked fine. Didn't need the ac with windows open a bit and fan on. Very nice to have a covered veranda outside the sliding doors, great place to spend the evening and watch the sunset. BBQ worked fine. Ten minute drive to Huntsville, same time to Arrowhead. Convenient to Hwy 11, traffic noise wasn't troublesome and generally died off by 11:30. Security in the parking lot was good - well lit and behind the buildings, left our kayaks in the truck with no concerns.
Dishes, towels and cutlery were a bit skimpy but we traveled with kitchen/bath supplies so np. The sandy beach is a short walk through the woods. Note - while it is a nice beachy area its on a river with a fairly strong current and the banks are steep. Life jackets on the kids for sure.
We'd definitely stay there again, perfect place if you're not camping.


Pretty good deal, good location

This little motel is not a fancy place, but I was very happy with my stay. I needed a one night stay near Port Sydney. It is adorable with purple doors and little wooden tulips on each door. The room itself was very clean. This is a very simple and basic place.  I have a 200 pound Saint Bernard that I needed to accommodate, and there was no problem. There was a little tiny fridge/freezer for her food and water, and a microwave to warm her food up. Perfect.  If you are looking for fancy, this is not the place, however, if you are looking for a cottagey, sweet, camp fire, short walk to a little beach/stream area, with lovely people and a relaxing cottagey type experience,  this was good. It was relatively close to Huntsville, not too far from Port Sydney, and the motel was easy to find. The manager was very nice and helpful. The motel was having the parking area fixed up/paved, but the gentleman whom I spoke to was very respectful, helped me with the dog, and said he was working around the guests staying as to not disrupt their stay to the best of his ability. Lovely.  As I said, fancy, this is not it. I have stayed in very fancy hotels with pools, and elegant eating, and all of that. Those types of hotels are fantastic. But, if you are just needing a kind, simple, pet friendly, kid friendly, environment, to be up north for whatever reason,  this was a very good option.

Adorable

We booked 1 night and ended up staying 4 nights. So glad to find this gem! The property is situated right beside  Arrowhead National Park & a few hours drive away from Algonquin Provincial Park &  the Muskoka lake regions including Gravenhurst, Parry Sound, Bay of Lakes & lake of 2 rivers. Check in was swift and Shweta upgraded us into the king size bedded room. Room was cleaned & spacious with fridge, microwave & coffee machine with coffee, sugar & cream provided. Room was cleaned daily & bed made up & although bed sheets weren't changed, there's always new towels & basic toiletries (shampoo & soap) provided. Walmart is just 6mins drive thru the highway. Although the highway is visible and noise heard from outside. Once in the room, it was very quiet inside. The best part is the walking trails and a man-made beach area on the river on the property. So glad we stayed here & not on the main road properties in Huntsville where traffic is nonstop. It's about 6kms from downtown Huntsville but It didn't bother us as we have a car. So if you have your own car, this is definitely the place to stay. I would definitely recommend this affordable place.

This place is affordable gem!

We only spent one night. Based on the other reviews I’m going to guess this place was impacted by COVID. There appear to be people living at the hotel. Our room was clean. The bed was comfortable. But if things are run down a bit it’s the little things that matter. The coffee maker and tray were not clean. The carpet at the door was from the dollar store and should have been replaced. The coffee table was broken (just remove it). Most of the holes in the wall were patched but a coat of paint would have done wonders. The ceiling had been patched from water damage but not finished.  The bathroom was redone and would have been amazing except you stopped short of either replacing the tub or having bath fitter in to cover it. 
 We won’t stay again. If we had our daughter with us we wouldn’t have stayed at all. It’s unfortunate. The family who run it seem lovely.

Sorry. No.

This is our second time staying in the "cozy cabin" and third time staying at the Tulip Inn and each time it decreases in rating. Also our second time having to outfit the "cozy cabin" with basic kitchen supplies - cutlery, wine and juice glasses, tea towels, dish clothes and a scrubber.
The bedding was covered in long dark hairs and when we requested new sheets were asked if we wanted them tonight - like this was an imposition to them to bring them down to us! The kitchen was not outfitted without any forks, 2 spoons and several knives and 1 juice glass. We asked for additional cutlery - were told it would be brought down the next morning. We gave up waiting and went into town to buy some supplies from the dollar store this is the second time we have bought juice glasses, wine glasses and cutlery for the cabin and the second time we have left what we purchased. The cutlery did eventually arrive 2 days later! The shower install has a hole in the bottom of it that is covered with duct tape - but you can certainly feel like your were falling into the hole if you happen to step into or around it.
The cabin needs an update starting with a new shower/tub and a coat of paint throughout. There should be nothing stored in the closets (as there were roll away beds in every closet - so virtually useless if you were not using the rollaway beds).

On a positive note the cleaning lady (I believe her name was Joanne - although can not be sure) was super friendly, attended to requests when she was working and awesome at Customer Service (unlike the owners). The seclusion of the cabin from the main motel area is nice but certainly not worth the cost - charging it out like a 4 star when really barely a 2.

NOT CLEAN - SECOND TIME HAVING TO OUTFIT THE KITCHEN JUST TO BE ABLE TO EAT!!!

The bedroom smells very stuffy, even mouldy. Some renovations were done but the carpet is terrible, so as the washroom. The towels are ridiculous, impossible to use. Thankfully I had mine. The duvet does not have a cover and is too hot for summer. The air conditioning works well.

Very dated 

Set next to Arrowhead Park and minutes from the town of Huntsville, you are paying for the location only (and you’re paying a lot). The motel is absolutely depressing considering the locale. I have to assume it has changed ownership recently. It is NOT a 4 star motel. The room smelled of stale cigarettes, an IKEA poang chair looked like someone had died in it, the bed was brutally uncomfortable and the air conditioner sounded like a jet engine. 
There’s a path down to the river with a well kept, small sand beach on a narrow part of the river. My dog and I enjoyed the swim very much. This does not make up for the state of the motel.

You’re paying for the location only

I have never felt compelled to write a review until our one night stay this previous weekend. In one sentence, this establishment should be reported to the local Public Health unit. Air conditioning did not work, not internet or working television and the mold and smell in our room was unbearable. This used to be a great property  and well cared for, the owners should be ashamed of themselves. 

Location does not match this dismal property 

WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP.  Our room was one that was said to have a kitchenette.  Well it wasn’t much of a kitchenette at all.  Basically a counter top with an old fridge/freezer underneath.  The fridge was not clean at all and the freezer compartment had about three inches of ice built up in it and there were grooves where cans been in there. They advertise high speed internet.  It barley worked. When I sat on the bed, it made a buckling sound. I think it was a metal base with a thin crummy mattress.  Every time I moved, the bed would make a buckling sound.  TV didn’t work and they said it was temporarily down.  Sliding windows didn’t have any locks on them.  Don’t waste your money, stay far away from this dump.
