Super 8 by Wyndham Barrie

The staff was all friendly helpful, and took good care of the facilities and the guests. Can't beat the location, it is near restaurants, movie theaters, grocery stores, liquor stores, and Costco. Also is very close to to Hwy 400 if you need to hit the road weather to see the great up North or just beautiful downtown Barrie & Centennial Beach. The rooms have anything you need, a full 3pc bathroom, fridge microwave, coffee maker, (cable) TV, phone, internet access, table and chairs to dine, and comfy beds. Almost forgot to mention there is an AC/ heater unit in every room. There are also laundry facilities, a swimming pool, and breakfast served daily between 7 and 10 am. I found it to be the best value for the price and would stay again.

Wilma is the only reason for the Best restful, stress free stay at Her Magnificent Resort. The warm welcome from all staff like Kofa is greatly appreciated. The Chef prepared a delicious hot and cold buffet breakfast with scrambled eggs and delicious juicy sausages. The Olympic swimming pool just down the road in Markham is always cold so I really enjoyed the warm Super 8 pool. For Lunches and Dinner my team walked across the street to the Farm Boy Grocery store for ready to eat meals. For all toiletries and miscellaneous items, we all walked to the Dollarama store. Double Queen bedroom was large with a medium soft mattress. Great soaker tub and shower, quiet flush water closet.

Wilma gave us a warm welcome and checked us in quickly to #415 facing East with views of the highway 400 and the Kempenfelt Bay off of Lake Simcoe. She started when the Super 8 Hotel opened in 2006. Two Queen beds were Medium Beautyrest quality with 3 medium pillows each. Large bathroom with plenty of hot water. A/C was on and whisper quiet, precooled our room to 70°. Pristine clean room and Hotel throughout. Pool may open in June as maintenance is being perfected.

We usually stay at the Hampton/Hilton in Barrie. Their room rate has gone up substantially and no longer fits my budget. The Super 8 is well within my budget and the amenities are the same, Wi-Fi, microwave, coffee maker etc. The bonus at the Super 8, was the layout of my room. Being able to close a door to the bedroom was an upgrade for us.

I loved the service at the front desk, very polite, knowledgeable, cool and patient. There was 3 separate girls but especially Carrie she was excellent.
