Slept well as beds were very comfortable and room was surprisingly quiet. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok but very limited seating and not much room... More

Stayed here for 1 night, in March, for business. Hallways not so nice but rooms clean and large. Bed was comfortable. Our room was next to fire doors that kept slamming shut so that was annoying. Breakfast was good. Did not like the coffee. Thankfully there is a Tim Horton's right next door. Would stay again if on business again... More

This is a great location, just off Hwy 400. It is easy to find and easy to get to. Comfort Inn is close to great shopping and restaurants. It is close to the Mapleview Shopping area that has almost everything you need. It is just a few miles north of the Cookstown Tanger Shopping Outlet. The rooms were clean and... More

We were on the third floor which was reserved by Expedia. Our end of the hall was fine but the other end reeked of smoke. We were fine even though we aren't smokers. Staff was pleasant. Complimentary breakfast was very good. Room was big, clean and pleasant. We had an Rv and were able to park it in their parking.... More

Thank you so much for your kind words. On the third floor at the very end of the building, we do still have smoking rooms. I apologize that the hallway smelt of smoke. We have the smoking section separated by a set of fire doors, however, even with regular cleaning and deodorizing sometimes you may still smell smoke. I'm so... More

Having stayed at this Comfort Inn several times, it is my pleasure to highly recommend this particular Comfort Inn. Hot breakfast offerings meet those specified on the Comfort Inn website - unlike almost all other "Canadian Comfort Inns" that cheap out by offering limited Continental breakfasts. Rooms are generally spacious and very clean. The only negative I have to report,... More

I certainly cannot recommend this hotel to anyone. We stayed there last Saturdat night. Boy do they need to renovate. Big time. The carpets are stained. The bedspreads are disgusting. Overall cleanliness just does not exist. We found one of the Breath Easy nose strips (used) on our night stand. Yuck. Don't waste your money. Go elsewhere until they decide... More
