This property has a lot of potential with historic charm but is old and run down. It is advertised as having 2 pools (indoor and outdoor), a gym, tennis courts and watersports but the reality was the gym was closed due to flooding (but had been converted to storage), the outdoor pool was closed and under repair, the tennis courts were unusable (1 court was destroyed by washout, 2nd court had a net but had large cracks in surface with weeds growing up through it), watersport equipment was limited to 1 SUP, 1 kayak and 1 hobbicraft for the entire property to share (paddles and lifejackets hard to find). Rooms did not have any a/c and the property was severely understaffed. There was only 1 person covering the front desk, bar and dining room.

FAR FROM A LUXYRY SPA! Where do I even start? As a SPA they failed to mention on the website that their spa was closed so imagine my surprise when I book a stay in a spa and after a 3 hour drive and taking time off work am told their spa is not even open; that's not even half of it. Their WiFi does not work it keeps going on and off, no air conditioning expect a fan that sounds like Jurassic Park is next door so forget about having a good night sleep, the rooms are in DESPERATE need of repair! stained floors and old scratched up furniture & oh did I mention they serve no lunch and the closest restaurants are 20 minutes away? dinner was available but the main course prices start at around 40$ ? Obnoxiously priced set menu & the food is not nearly good enough for that price point. The only open facility indoors was the bar which was the most depressing thing because half the lights were off and there was this annoying none stop buzzing sound from a broken light or something and it would take forever to pay with a card because their machines would not work properly so yeah long story short do yourself a favor and save your hard earned money and go somewhere else which does not trick you with false advertising.

I have been to Sir Sams a few times over the years and I have to say that it has gone down hill greatly since I was here last. If you are going in the summer you should be aware that aside from the lobby and dining area there is no air conditioning. The rooms get very hot. They are clearly having some staffing issues. We were unfortunate enough to be there the day after their chef suddenly quit, leaving them scrambling to get a replacement. They did get someone who had previously done the job for them and he made a valiant effort to keep things on an even keel. Unfortunately he had to battle a larder left depleted by the original chef. The long and short of the dining experience was that dinner was bumped an hour later for the early diners which made everyone come in about the same time. This seemed to overwhelm the staff. Meals were VERY slow to come out and very erratic. Many dishes, including mine which was requested as medium-rare, came out well-done and had to be sent back adding another half hour or so wait. They did not offer to take my wife's dinner back so we could eat together. They did give us free drinks to compenate. Breakfast was a different story. It was organized and everything was good. The rugs in the main area and the suites were very old and stained. Our bedding had to be replaced because it was frankly dirty. I have to say the staff did their best. The place is looking very tired. It needs a major overhaul.

Beautiful views...with much room for improvement!

My wife and I booked a last minute 2 night stay just after Canada Day weekend. The resort has beautiful, west facing, sunset views over the lake. However, the daily complimentary 1 hour cruise, with Steve, was the highlight of the trip (enjoyed both days)! The bed was comfortable although both nights were sleepless, due to a mini heat wave, and the room was an absolute furnace! That being said, we knew up front there was no AC (not the fault of Sir Sam's). There's much room for improvement, however...and we're not sure it deserves even a 31/2 star rating. The ice machine was broken (has been for awhile), so we had to ask for the bar to only '3/4' fill our mini bucket each day :( On a similar note, there was enough bodywash included for only 1 shower. Good thing we brought some with us. Also bring a power bar, as there are hardly any available electrical outlets...that arent't already being used for table lamps/fans/CO detector. We ate dinner on one (1) night (fool me once). Good thing neither of us were hungry. The 7oz NY striploin (nearly $50 CAD) was possibly 2-3oz's of fat, although it was cooked...and seasoned well. I strongly encourage taking advantage of their meal plan, or eating elsewhere. We found McKeck's Pub was worth the 17 minute drive. Lastly, the TV was maybe 15" at best, and the satelite had nothing but news, TV shows, and PPV. They'd be better off replacing with a larger SMART TV where you can stream your own Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc.

Photos depict a bright and airy decor. We chose the room with the 2 wing chairs and the beautiful pine hope chest style coffee table. We were given a very dated dull room with no wing chairs or large coffee table; simply a very old couch with cushions that had no support. The tv was the smallest wall tv we’d ever seen. We we mortified to be given sheets of paper for kindling that had previous customer’s personal information…their name, email address and what they paid during their stay! Now we wonder who’s reading our personal info? We also didn’t see anywhere on the hotel listing that said the rooms were inna motel-like strip behind the main hotel, with no parking in front of the suites. We also had no idea there were stairs with no safety railing going down to the room the minute you open your door. The staff were extremely warm & friendly and the manager moved us to another room with 2 wing chairs, but still no coffee table or DVD player as advertised. So the romantic movies we brought for Valentine’s couldn’t be watched. The gorgeous pool they show on their site was also dated and the jets were so weak we didn’t see how they could claim this is therapeutic in any way. The restaurant “Twin Fires” wasn’t very warm. We saw the two fireplaces…but both nights they weren’t lit. However, that being said the cuisine was lovely with beautiful presentation, the candle-lit ambiance and outdoor twinkly lights were appreciated, and their staff are exceptional!

We visited this property for one night for our anniversary. The water front and beach are nice and the staff was very friendly. We were not impressed with the restaurant. The pricing was not adequate to what we recieved for dinner. Well over priced. Also I paid extra for the romance package which was supposed to include a bottle of wine and charcuterie board. The board had to meat with it just a bit of cheese and crackers. For a 50 dollar charge I though it would be better.
