Hotels Near Frugal and Company in Picton

Just spent 2 nights in The House Next Door room 10 of the Waring House. For the nightly of $275 I was shocked at the room. I was part of a large group, and unfortunately there were no other rooms available or I would have checked out. To start with, in the bathroom there was a large section of black mold along the floor board, the caulking along the bottom of shower stall as well as the track were in need of deep cleaning, same with the floor of the shower since I don’t think it was meant to be grey. The sinks were cracked and unbelievably the clothes rail (only place to hang clothes up) was right next to the toilet! After my shower I hung up my towel & the towel bar came crashing down from the wall. The lights in the room were either entirely off or all on as they seemed to be on the same circuit. Same goes for the electrical outlets, so I couldn’t charge my phone once the lights were out. The manager seemed shocked when I showed her the photos, apologized and offered a small discount but it really didn’t make up for a truly awful room. It needs to be gutted and they should start over again.

Resort was spectacular! Rooms were spotless and roomy, top line appliances, great sitting area outside of cabins. We had brunch in the restaurant on Saturday, service and food quality was amazing. Check-in and check-out was very easy. Service from beach bar excellent. All staff were friendly and always said ”Hi” to us all. Pool area spacious and clean. Mel was great to deal with, always knew our name. Look forward to coming back!

For us who arrived late, the hotel gave us a good experience. There are charging parking spaces, there is a delicious breakfast restaurant cafe next to it, not far from the nearby winery. recommend.

Newer hotel in area so fairly clean, moderate furnishing and amenities offered. We travel frequently but don't honestly use this hotel chain so thought we would try it out. We booked hotel as it was advertised on there website as ”pet friendly” and we were travelling with our small crated cat. When we went to check in the young lady at desk told us there was a $30/nite pet charge and when we asked about the charge, an old unpleasant man who ubruptly informed us ”its on website, its listed! ” We have no problem with paying it had it been list on site or told verbally when I phoned several weeks earlier to confirm our reservation. No transparency here. I mean if you are going to charge a $90 + taxes pet fee, be upfront about it, like most hotels do . Website clearly says pet friendly and further says ”ask at hotel for details” no such inflated charge listed under policies either. Honestly seems like a money grab. We checked in and were pleasantly suprised with decor and clean looking appearance of hotel as a whole. We got settled into our room early afternoon and accomodations seemed decent, nice layout of suite but walls are paper thin and could hear kids screaming and banging walls and a couple of dogs barking across the hall nearly non-stop our entire visit. Air conditioner leaked and our carpet was wet in front of unit all 3 days. We let front desk know, they didnt come to repair. Towels and bedding had some wear and staining. Bed seemed comfortable to sit on but both of us woke up with sore backs each morning unfortunately. The ” hot breakfast” advertised was sadly another big dissapointment. We were here three mornings, EXACT SAME cold egg looking omellettes, microwaved pork sausage links, uncooked hashbrowns, they also had boiled eggs in a bowl and mushy fruit salad both un-refrigerated, same exact breakfast served all three days! Coffee was good actually and they did have fresh bagels and some cereal. The young lady working area was always busy filling the dishes constantly, there was lots of stuff in bowls just nothing most would enjoy Didn't use the pool but it looked decent. Lotsa good local restaurants within walking distance to support and enjoy. My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights this week. Unlikely we would stay here again or recommend.

good location
