Had a wonderful stay at Hidden valley resort. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious with a view. Fabulous amenities including a spa, Hot-tub, dry sauna, beach, indoor and outdoor pool, and restaurant. Don’t miss the dinning experience. Jazen in the morning was very friendly. Charlean at the front desk check me in and was very professional. At check out, angie was extremely nice. Phil was very professional and checked on us when we had dinner. The menu is unique and the wine diverse. Massage with the RMT was heavenly. I forgot his name. Love the hospitality and the staff. Rooms are clean and was quiet big. View were perfect and enjoyed morning coffee in the balcony. This was our second stay and would love to keep coming back.

Hotel's Favorite
Stayed for 2 nights during March Break 2022. Had a pleasant visit. The room was clean and quiet (on the top floor at the end) with a view of a forest and side view of the ski resort from the balcony. Used the restaurant and a play room. Did not use the pool, there were so many people, did not feel too comfortable in the given situation. Resort was all full, but could not complain about the noise, was all good for us, maybe because we were quite far from the action center. Dinner was ok, but kind of slow in service. At night there was not much to do outside of the hotel - nothing is there. But during the daytime you can use sleds and snow shoes that they offer for free - and go tobogganing at the back of the hotel (pretty nice slope) and snow shoeing on Lake Peninsula - beautiful views! Ski resort is just near the hotel, so that is awesome. The ski resort itself is nice, the equipment we rented was very dated. Saw a family of deer right near the resort. I'm sure it's very nice on the lake in summer! They have their own beach! Pretty nice stay. Thank you!…

This was the worst "resort" I've ever experience. You can't even call it a resort. Went with a large group of primarily black women. Staff were uninterested in even showing us around or directing us to the change rooms. We also witnessed Karen, a restaurant staff accuse another ethnic group of eating outside food which was prohibited. The group explained that they were given permission to bring food in for their large group. The "operations manager" needs to spend less time harrassing people about eating and more time operating this mess of a place. You can't eat anything until the restaurant opens besides chips and soda at the mini convenience at reception and outside by the lake. If you're signing out any water sport equipment, you'll be met by a rude middle aged lady who has zero customer service skills and clearly hates her life. The boxes of pizza and desserts we had prepared for us upon arrival at 10m wasn't cleaned up until they started getting ready for dinner at 5pm. The place is an absolute joke. The tennis courts are full of weeds. I couldn't wait to leave. But maybe a better experience if you're of a certain shade. Never again.…

After visiting some hotels in Canada I can say this was the worst experience by far. Rooms are clean at first, but we did not have any room service despite holding the card “please clean the room” on the door. Pool and Spa areas are simply disgusting. By touching the pool floor with bare feet you can feel, that they did not clean the facilities since ages. In most of the rooms and in the corridors they still have a 80s carpet which just looks horrendous and does not give a good first impression. In the first day, we have to change the room 2 times because the reception was not able to give us a room which matches the already paid services. And everything for not less money. This accommodations are without any doubt overpriced.

The resort has been completely run down. The hall carpets are absolutely disgusting. The room had dirt in the walls. Mold in the bathroom. Holes in the walls. The $30 resort fee is a complete scam. The pool has a disgusting brown ring along the water line and was full of dirt! The indoor pool and hot tub had hair all over the place. Tennis courts and basketball courts had weeds growing in them. The only appealing thing about this resort is the view from the beach. We were completely shocked that this place had any good reviews. We drove 3.5 hours to go here. Checked in, checked right back out. At least the woman at the front desk refunded our money no questions asked.

I was expecting more from this hotel given the Ascend Hotel strapline of historic, boutique and one of a kind hotels. The room waas very tired with pictures missing from the wall and holes in the bathroom wall. Furthermore an additional charge of $30 per day was applied to use of WIFI, parking (there is nowhere else to park), use of pool etc. Given the location of the hotel these should all have been included in the room price so I feel a bit ripped off (particularly as did not use many of the facilities). This charge was not clear on the Choice Booking website. On the positive side the hotel is in a great location, the staff were great and the restaurant/bar were reasonably priced and the food was nice.

Resort is quite dated and could use some renovations. Mouse seen in the ladies bathroom by check in desk. Evening check in person doesn’t have much of a personality which is surprising since it’s hospitality industry but Karen at the bar certainly made up for that. She was amazing! Deck outside needs some work so someone doesn’t fall. Looks like band aid solutions have been installed for safety but I thinks it’s definitively overdue for some money to be sunk into this resort. Wallpaper coming off walls in some hallways, carpeted areas are so old. Restaurant food was good as was the staff in the restaurant.

So the photos you will see online will not reflect the atmosphere. The online photos make it seem like a modern ski lodge, and it does have elements of that, however, most of it has the feel of a dated family hotel, and for the price, I am completely fine with that. I am a mom with a daughter that was going to a dance competition next door at the Deer hurst inn and their prices were completely ridiculous, I wanted a nice safe hotel that was clean with a pool and a restaurant and that's what I got. There is much maintenance required, but only aesthetics. I cannot stress enough, how completely kind, engaging, and professional every staff member was there, it was truly remarkable. I will let you read that again-I have never visited anywhere, even Disneyworld, where every staff member was consistently warm and welcoming and helpful. I felt so comfortable and safe being on my own. My daughter and I checked out this morning and the staff and the trainee were marvelous; the lady running the lounge was so sweet with my girl and was hilarious with the bar patrons watching the game. The food was inconsistent in the sense that my salad last night had no dressing on it-literally bone dry(i didnt say anything and I am sure if i did it would have been fixed right away-the inconsistencies were the kitchen alone), but the onion soup and the chicken brie sandwich were awesome and so was the fresh fries. In the morning one pancake was perfectly golden brown and the other two were cooked but with no colour-so just barely cooked. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time, and most people can make pancakes so that was a bit disappointing but the rest of the food was wonderful. the pool was a great plus with a warm hot tub. We had such a good time. It is off season right now, so I dont know what its like in the throws of summer or ski season, but the deck and the courts were in shambles, there was a dead woodpecker on the deck in the morning and caution tape on the deckrails, and the pool outside was green-again, the snow was just melted. So I will give some grace there. The shampoo etc in the rooms was great. No art on the room walls, but the rooms are so clean. Vaccum marks on the hallay and stairs every morning-its clean, just a little tired here and there. I have been in very nice hotels that seem clean because they are newer and on closer inspection are actually dirty. I would definitely go back there with the rest of my family, the lounge chairs in my room were badly cracked and peeling, but the beds and pillows were clean and comfy as any high end hotel I have stayed at. So there you have it.…

This was once a luxury resort but it appears that not one cent has been spent on upgrading the hotel. I didn't find it dirty like others have written but because the place is tired, it feels that way - discoloured grout, torn furniture, damaged lamp shades, fireplace in room that didn't work, etc. They charge a $20/night "resort fee" on top of the advertised rate, which I find unethical and a rip-off. So when comparing prices to other locations, be sure to factor that in. The location, however, is fantastic - you can walk to the ski hills, it's on a pristine Muskoka lake and I liked the walking in the area. It's about a 10 minute drive into town. The neighbouring resort is much nicer but more expensive and difficult to book in peak times. So if you can live with some shabbiness, it's not a terrible place to stay. The food in the restaurant is only ok but you could also go next door or into town for some meals. There are other waterfront resorts in the area but they are more remote. There are several chain hotels in town but they are not waterfront. So it depends on what's important to you. I found most of the staff trying their best but the resort offers bare minimum service and amenities. I would not stay here again, the overall feeling of the place is negative.…
