Residence Inn by Marriott Gravenhurst Muskoka Wharf

A wonderful stay! I loved our kitchenette and making a coffee in the morning. Bed was very comfortable! Pool and hot tub were lovely. My kids also loved it. The breakfast was delicious, it included bagels, bread, eggs, sausages, oatmeal, fresh waffles, cereal, coffee and juice. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the shower, the stopper was a bit annoying and didn't drain the water well. The bathtub was a bit worn down.

We had an excellent experience at The Residence Inn. The king suite was spacious, and included a fully equipped kitchen. We were visiting family and we’re able to have them over to our room to visit and it worked like it’s own apartment. The breakfast each morning was fantastic- a wide variety of hot/ cold food and beverages. The facilities were well kept and we took advantage of the pool, laundry facilities (which were cheaper than the town laundromat) and the gym. The staff were friendly and attentive and made the trip that much better. We’ll definitely be staying again!

Great hotel! Stayed here for a wedding that was in Port Carling. Glad I did. Went by other reviews and the hotel and town is more modern with more facilities than the towns north of Gravenhurst. Worth the 20 to 30 min drive. Room very nice and spacious. Young lady who checked us in was so friendly and helpful. Great pool and hot tub. Very clean. Breakfast good also. Was very busy the morning we were there and was very surprised how well the staff managed the cleaning and stocking of the breakfast area. Service is really top notch here!

I stayed with my family at this hotel. The room was very very clean. The all inclusive breakfast was even better! The food was delicious! All the staff was polite and sweet. Also the gym and pool was very good. I loved this hotel and recommend it big time.

I'd recommend choosing any hotel in gravenhurst other than the Residence Inn by Marriott. Rude and unprofessional reception staff. Can't remember her name but she was the one who looked like she fell face first into a tackle box. Terrible view from our room, industrial HVAC equipment and snow blower storage, across from that the dining room looked right into the room so couldn't leave the blinds open at any point unless we wanted dozens of people watching us. Plumbing issues. Shower drained towards and puddled in front of the toilet so you'd get wet feet every time you used the toilet. The toilet was malfunctioning and would run continuously after being flushed unless you took the lid off and fixed it each time. Our room was a complete dead zone for cell signal, could receive a call or send a text. Bed sheets were thin, cheap and uncomfortable, anything but luxurious. Parking lot and walk way were poorly maintained upon our arrival they were coated with ice which I slipped on. By far the worst stay at a hotel I've ever had. I will make sure myself and everyone I care about stays far away from Marriott hotels in the future.

We went on a skiing trip and decided to settle at this hotel after. The service was great, staff is very respectful and responsive to our requests. I was making breakfast and struggled to make some waffles so a worker came to help me without me needing to ask. Amazing service definitely recommend!

Excellent location. Most of the staff were welcoming and helpful. We raised a couple of concerns. Operations Manager welcomed our feedback. Breakfast was decent. They had crayons 🖍 and drawings for kids to do colouring. For those who stay there for relaxation would welcome extension of the breakfast time to 10 am. We stayed there in 1996 some 9 years ago. The price on a weekday has gone up significantly compared to the weekend price we paid then. That whole area has become more pricey.

The service is not good, I do not recommend. We had booked for 4 but the room was not ready for 4 guests. Had to asked for towels and second bed to be prepared. It was done while we were away, which is nice. But the bed was only made with blankets, no sheets…. The dishwasher was not empty when we got the room. We had not seen the note. Although the cycle was finished when they came for the bed, they still did not empty the dishwasher. The view from our room was disappointing. The walls were quite thin, we could hear our neighbors as if sharing the same room. The breakfast room is way too small for the number of guests. That was not an enjoyable time. Although the service runs until 10am on weekends, I heard one of the lady tell a customer it was too late to add more at 9:25am…. There were crayons but no sheets nor place to draw…. Front desk was not receptive about our feedback…

We are spending a family Christmas Eve in Gravenhurst and booked this suite with a double room. Check-in was a breeze with full social distancing protocols in effect due to the surge of Omicrom variant worldwide. Front desk staff are friendly & professional. It's a very nice suite with a 4-seat dining table, office desk, sitting area for four, a fireplace (with a timer) and a full kitchen (refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, sink and cupboards). The fitness centre, swimming pool and whirlpool pool were open with proof of double Covid-19 vaccination. looked well maintained. A complimentary pre-selected breakfast was included; filled out order form by 9 p.m. the day prior. Pickup the meal yourself in the morning. It's back on the road again tomorrow!

I'm giving this a 4.5/5. Very nice rooms. The staff, especially the breakfast staff, make this a great experience. Very comfortable room. Breakfast well stocked and fresh. Many choices. Large spacious rooms. Beautiful view of the lake. Our only complaint was the pull out couch was pretty uncomfortable. They should probably be replaced. Other than that everything was perfect!!

My dad arranged for a family trip to cottage country so that we could see all the changing colours of the leaves. Once we finished our scenic tour, we checked in to the hotel that my dad reserved - Residence Inn. My mum is a Residence Inn groupie and loves this hotel chain so it was only appropriate for my dad to find one in Gravenhurst. My room had a great view of the lake. As the rooms are all suites, they are very spacious. I had a room with a sofa, queen sized bed, and kitchen all to myself. It was luxury! After lunch, I decided to go downstairs for a swim. The pool area is very bright with huge windows all over. There is also a whirlpool. The interior is super clean and modern with very friendly staff. Breakfast is included, which is always a bonus. Can't wait to go back! Good for: weekend getaways

Great view, very clean room and facilities, and friendly/helpful staff! The Lakeview room is awesome - it has two Muskoka chairs on the balcony overlooking the lake. Mosquitoes can be a problem though, so make sure you keep your screen door closed. Stable wifi, free parking, a few restaurants nearby, a stretch of boardwalk were all awesome. The best part is that this place is pet friendly, and my dog had a really good time. There is a $100+tax pet fee per pet, per stay. The trail behind the hotel was shorter than I expected but nonetheless it was great. Breakfast is included and there's coffee and tea available in the lobby 24/7. The breakfast was mediocre at best - I expected a little more variety and quality given the price range of the rooms.

Beautiful hotel with professional friendly service. Thanks to Claudia for a smooth check in experience.

Nice location, friendly staff, and nice view of the lake from the balcony. Would have preferred a higher floor but other rooms were full since it was Thanksgiving long weekend. Breakfast wasn't that great and Internet connection wasn't that great as well. Overall, I've enjoyed my stay here.

Great location and big rooms in Gravenhurst. Nice hotel -- sizable with many rooms having balconies with lake views. Balconies have adirondack chairs to relax. Studio, 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom suites. Suites have full kitchen, sizable bedroom, sink area separate from toilet/shower/tub. Our 1 bedroom king had 2 TVs - one in the bedroom and one in the living room. Hotel has an indoor pool, bbq you can use for grilling, and also a patio area to sit out. They do a full breakfast which is included in the rate and includes things such as: sausage, scrambled egg, potatoes, pancakes, make your own waffles, breads/bagels/tea biscuits, fruit salad, yogurt, cereal, oatmeal etc - juice, coffee and tea also available. They had a side bar with tea and coffee available all day. Walkable to the steamship dock for tours. Very comfortable and worth staying at. Great for families as the sofa in the suite is a pull out bed. Bedding was very comfortable and lots of pillows.

We stayed here a week and loved this location. The hotel is relatively new and very well maintained. Nice rooms and amenities. It is situated in a very pretty area (near the lake) with a lot of activities within a short driving distance. There is also boat and canoe/kayak rentals right near their property (shares same parking lot) - and it is a lot of fun to spend time in the lake. Great location to stay at while in the area.

We had a very large one bed suite with a full kitchen and living room area. Refrigerators have ice makers. Clean room. Nice layout. No alcohol for purchase on site, stop at the LCBO in town as needed. Between all the different chairs, our suite could sit seven people, making it easy for our group to gather in one room at the end of the night to catch up over a nightcap. Quiet location overall, very little noise from adjoining rooms. Easy to sleep in with dark out curtains that worked well. Very friendly staff, who went above and beyond, helping to search for a replacement computer cable for our function next door in an emergency, after the venue didn't have a necessary cable. Great location, right on the waterfront. It's maybe a three minute drive into the town. Adjacent to a boat rental facility and a public boat launch. It's just a very short walk down the boardwalk to a few restaurants. Walk down to Boston Pizza for an afternoon beer with pals, then go to Dock of the Bay for a steak dinner afterward. Both have outdoor seating on the water.

What a wonderful spot for a winter vacation as well as a summer holiday. We arrived just about 1/2hr. after the snow had started to fall and it looked like a magical land when we pulled in to the parking lot. The staff at reception were very welcoming. They gave us a room on the top floor with a great view overlooking the bay. (I think that was in an effort to keep us away from the jr. hockey teams, two thumbs up!!) The rooms are clean and efficient. There is a perfect little kitchenette for longer stays. It has almost full size fridge, two elements for cooking, a microwave and a dishwasher. The fireplace made the evenings very cozy while we looked out over the frozen bay. An added touch of romance was when the whole area lost power for a short time and the fireplace was the only light we had. That and our glass of wine....perfect. The hotel is situated right next to the Discovery Center, there is a nice boardwalk to follow around the bay to the shops and restaurants on the opposite side. The complimentary breakfast was pretty extensive. I can't imagine anyone not finding something that would start their day off on a good note. There is a pool and a workout area but we didn't use either. The business area is very comfortable with big wingchairs, a large screen TV, a computer and a small assortment of books to enjoy. We are looking forward to returning in the summer for another mini holiday.

It's beautiful here. Kitchen includes a stovetop and dishwasher! Very spacious with interesting decor. The view lakeside is stunning, the sun sets right over the water outside your window and you can enjoy it on the patio. Or, if you prefer, there is a gazebo you can walk to on the rock cut overlooking the water. It really is breathtaking. Breakfast seems to have a lot to offer, but the quality of the food leaves much to be desired, for this reason, I had to give 4/5 stars. The food was not on point.

We came here for a wedding recently. This hotel is the only decent one in Gravenhurst as far as I am concerned, wouldn't even bother with any of the others. This hotel requires a minimum 2 night stay which can be quite pricey, especially if you take a room with 2 beds. The fact that the 2 bed suite is so expensive is unfortunate, so we took the 1 king bed suite with the pullout couch. The pullout couch was not very comfortable, and the king bed was sort of firm for my taste. Despite that, the hotel rooms have lovely decor and are very modern, and the balconies are quite large, even if you don't have a water view. The kitchen is nice and the appliances are modern, however the fridge can be noisy at times which is only a problem if you're sleeping on the pullout couch. Overall, the suites are comfortable and the beds might come down to a personal preference. The hotels amenities are superb. The complimentary breakfast is quite nice with standard options: eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit, bagels, etc. The added waffle maker is a nice touch. The pool and hot tub are modern and clean, quite nice to swim in with good hours. The water in the pool could be a little bit warmer. They also have a nice outdoor patio area with a BBQ and a fire pit however we did not get to use those. The free WiFi is quite fast and reliable. This hotel shines with its location. It is located right in the Muskoka Wharf in short walking distance to all the gorgeous amenities on the waterfront including the historic steamships. Located right next door is the Muskoka Boat & Heritage Centre which is a fantastic museum with a very reasonable price. Downtown Gravenhurst is a very short drive away with all the amenities. Overall, the hotel is a very comfortable -if a bit pricey for what you get- facility with all the amenities someone visiting Muskoka would want.

The rooms are nice. Very typical residence inn and decor. Nothing special. Housekeeping isn't great. One day instead of making the bed they just pulled the covers over the pillows, didn't empty the trash and didn't vacuum. Seemed like someone was pissed off that day..... The "mixers" are lame. Chips and salsa one night and the second was hot dogs. I've had better in multiple hotels. Since this is the only extended stay property around, I would think the hotel could do a little better. The breakfast is typical of a residence inn. The kitchen staff are very helpful and try really hard to keep up with demands of their guests. The views are wonderful no matter what your room choice is. You can walk to all the restaurants on the wharf so you have lots of choices around you. I would recommend this hotel. It's a great location with lots to do around the wharf. Free parking and wifi. Although the wifi can be a bit sketchy in the rain.

Excellent experience. Hotel looks new and is very clean. Nice view of the waterfront. Employees and guest were all very nice. Should have a larger variety of breakfast selections. Overall thought they made my stay enjoyable. Will stay here again.

Just spent 3 nights at this hotel. Very clean and comfortable. To top everything this hotel is very pet friendly making our stay even more memorable. The location is excellent as well as the setting. Rooms are updated and very comfortable. Would stay again! Highly recommend.

Excellent location. Our room was with the lake view which was stunning. The staff here is fantastic, very friendly, pleasant and helpful. Consistent with other locations of this hotel chain. Breakfast is included but the scrambled eggs are made from boxed powdered stuff. Also there is no restaurant on site but the suites have a kitchen. Very clean and modern rooms. I love this place.
