The best time here. The only place to stay in the area. I can’t fault this place. From the surprise smors pack, to the eski ice trucks next to your room, to the campfire, sauna and tub. The facilities, staff, food and drinks were unreal! I can’t wait to stay again.

Downside is the location is not easily walkable to anywhere but it was a short drive to the excellent Bruce Wine Bar. Room window looks out into the courtyard and for any privacy need to keep the blind closed which then removes all the sunlight.

Second stay and we loved the new sauna and cute tiny pool, though a larger beach towel and providing a bathrobe would be appreciated. Excellent communication for easy check in and check out. Overall very comfortable and cute and would stay again.

Everything

There was nothing we didn't like - it's a great spot.

We liked everything - the decor, the cleanliness (very clean!!) the après bar (great food!) the friendly staff, the sauna and plunge pool. It was a great place to stay for a few nights on the outskirts of Thornbury.

Would have loved a King size bed. Don’t like rain showers….there were no shower caps In the bathroom.

I don’t think they served breakfast Loved the oysters and wine on the patio. The staff very friendly.

We would have liked a small chair to put our clothes on.

The design of the room was excellent. Quiet HVAC system, small bathroom, but nice tiles and a shower that’s easy to work. Full length mirror. Kleenex. No noise at night.

As I mentioned to them, I would have rated it a 10 but for the soft beds and my wonky back.

Dinner was excellent. No breakfasts served but restaurants nearby.A

Everything was perfect!

Mattress was too soft and pillows too high, but that’s a matter of preference I suppose. Opening times of shop/bar/apres area were limited to the afternoon.

Great location - 10 min drive from blue mountain and few minutes away from the shops/cafes of Thornbury. Modern and cozy interiors with great attention to details and amenities (Fire pit, sauna, Nesspresso machine, smart TV, and many other little things that make a difference)

Cool place to stop on our way home from Manitoulin but not tonnes to do locally (without going to Collingwood).

Modern, clean rooms with cool art and little quirks! Sauna was lush, hope to use the cold pool next time. Short walk through some cool parks, waterside trails and yummy grub! Staff were great and welcomed us upon arrival.

Nothing!

Such a cute motel. Vibe was amazing, so quiet too. Comfy rooms with all the amenities you need and more . Stay were over the top exuding customer service and so personable . Within a 10 minute walk to downtown to lots of excellent restaurants and shops. Across from Thornbury brewery too! Can walk to the harbour which was a bonus! Definitely recommend and will go again.

We loved every single thing about our stay at Penny's Motel. It was clean, updated, the Apres snack bar and staff were amazing. Check in and out was so easy. We will be back for sure!!

Very clean and quaint. Court yard vibe was a blast. Live entertainment Sunday afternoon was awesome. Come and enjoy a fun yet relaxing experience.

The vibe of this motel is spot on. Buzzing with excitement and fun.

Needed a luggage stand in the room- otherwise excellent and very comfortable!

Everything great. Fun court yard, dedicated cooler filled with ice outside the room, excellent menu at the resto on site.

Such a thoughtfully curated property with excellent staff both at the hotel and at Après! They made setting up the room for a mini-bachelorette party seamless, and were very accommodating. The room is incredibly stylish and clean. Great bed, toiletries, and Nespresso machine! There was a sweet hand-written note and a S’mores kit waiting for us in the room on arrival too. We loved everything about Penny’s and will return in the future!

Staff is so friendly

If the property had a hot tub it would have made the stay even better. The sauna was more of a dry heat which was difficult to stay in for me, but I’m sure other guests probably enjoyed it. The view into the yard is nice but felt like our blinds had to be closed for privacy, unsure if the glass were tinted I should have checked but if not I’d personally enjoy privacy + natural light. However, these are small things!

All of the aesthetic touches were wonderful! If you’re someone who likes taking cute photos, this place had lots of opportunities. Loved the fire pit, I imagine in the summer this would be a great way to meet people. I like the idea of the space creating a community like a hostel whereas traditional hotels don’t really have that.

The staff were very friendly and made our stay wonderful . Will be back again . Fire pits outside and a sauna and they had ice coolers outside our rooms

The rooms were very updated and clean . Very cosy

The area is amazing, the fire pit, the restaurant and the room are lovely. I want to go back.

The room I stayed in this time was a little dim, the lights were too low for me to read before I went to sleep and I had to use my phone to light my book while reading.

I have stayed here a few times when in town for work and the hotel manager remembered me and even took the time to leave me a personal welcome note and to leave me a bag of ice to stock my cooler for the next day before I left for work.
