What guests think

At Best Western Plus Guildwood Inn, travellers often find clean, comfortable rooms and friendly frontline staff in a convenient spot near the river and bridge, while many note the property feels dated and could benefit from improvements.

Several reviews mention outdoor pool closures or cold water, a minimal or unavailable gym, limited bar service, unreliable vending machines, ample free parking, ground floor patios for some rooms, and no elevator to upper floors. Rooms range from spacious and quiet to small and dim with dated decor; several note noisy or inefficient air-conditioning and intermittent Wi‑Fi, plus occasional noise near stairwells. The attached restaurant’s hot breakfast earns praise when offered, but availability and communication vary—weekends may be paid or not provided—and service can be slow. Expect a convenient, budget‑minded stay with solid basics and a few rough edges.

I booked this room so me and my family could enjoy the outdoor pool. The pool was closed. No where on the website did it mention the pool was closed. I did check it says something about open seasonal. June-September I think. I live 10 mins away it was waste of time and money. We had nothing to do other than sit in the room. The carpet was super wet around the air conditioner. The staff was friendly.

It was not mention on the website that the pool was out os service. We came for short staycation and pool service. After checking in we found out we will be using different hotel pool what why? Why it was not mention before? And the other pool was fully packed very small. Hope you will register this complaint and give reasonable compensation for the inconvenience caused.

Pepsi drink machines. Put $4 in and nothing came out. Front desk said they do not monitor them and to call phone number on machine. Called and number was disconnected. I tried another machine with my credit card and no drink. Called the different number and no answer also disconnected. Staff here should put “out of service” sign instead of their guests being ripped off.

Air conditioning was very loud, kept screeching and rattling, when turned off because of the noise, it was too humid. We had to choose to either feel very humid or not be able to sleep because of the horrendously loud air conditioning. Vending machines did not work properly, when we needed water, it wasn’t stocked. Also pool did not seem well-maintained, while it is an outdoor pool and some bugs are to be expected, the pool was covered with them, my daughter had to push them away every few minutes.

We had stayed in this hotel several years ago on another vacation, so we decided to stay here again since we had such a great experience with the previous stay. This time, though, the hotel was quite dated and worn. Our room was not as clean as expected. It was good, but we would possibly consider staying elsewhere on another trip.

When I mentioned this to front desk, she advised she would speak to her manager and give me a call back - I got an email stating no bedbugs were found, but my arm has the bites… I just know I would never recommend or stay at this location again.

Our room was gigantic with a separate bathtub and shower in a huge bathroom. It was decently clean. But the furnishings were old, marred, and a strange “box” construct over the bed. There were no lights on the bedside tables and the lights in the “box” didn’t function. But we were only staying one night, so no matter. The breakfast was at the attached restaurant. The food choice was good and the server was delightful.

I needed a place to get some food and sleep. There was a geeat Italian place on Christina nearby. I had to turn off the AIRCON system due to the fan noise or something. Trying to sleep, the other units had similar AIRCON units that seemed to reverberate through the wall at the head of the bed. Searching for earplugs resulted in finding the trusty noise cancelling earbuds. Popping them in silenced things til needing recharge 4 hours later.Thank you Samsung!

We were given a 2nd story room next to the stairwell. There was no slowing door hardware for the door at the top of the stairs. Each time it closed it slammed so hard our room walls shook and you could feel it while lying in bed, not to mention how loud it was. It startled our dog each time. No way would we have been able to have a restful night. Fortunately we were able to switch to another room, albeit with only a single bed. The tv didn’t work in that room.

Staff was amazing. The restaurant attached to the hotel had an included hot breakfast during the week, which was nice, but the information on the website and in writing is wrong. It says there is lunch service and express lunch available. There is no lunch service at all and no breakfast on the weekends . So plan to go somewhere else for those times. Theres no snack machines. Theres a tim hortons fairly close . by. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable and accommodating and i would definitely stay again.

Although hotel says pet friendly, be sure to call before because some rooms aren’t pet friendly. We wanted the King suite with a pet and when we arrived, they said we had to pick another room. Also, after hours front desk, staff are not very accommodating. Ask for Julie the daytime manager. She is great.

The check in clerk could have been friendlier. To be clear she didn't do anything wrong. She just wasn't very outgoing in being friendly the way that I'm use to when checking in at other hotels. The room was adequate but it took a good two to three hours for the AC to get the humidity in the room under control. I didn't seem to be able to control the settings the way I wanted to. Right now it needs to be running but is only circulating the air in the room. Frustrating!

This hotel advertises as free breakfast. Then you get to the front desk and are told "not weekends". Im sorry thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Same price, maybe even more - and all of a sudden no breakfast included? Should get breakfast or the cost equivalent in refund.
