Grove Haven Retreat Budget Rooms for Workers Retirees, and Couples in Central Barrie

Very friendly, had fully equipped kitchen, has laundry available can't say enough good things about the place

Great location to highways and local shopping

The door lock coming into the property was not the greatest. Needs a much simpler activation concept.

Moses was a kind man. Very welcoming and took good care of our needs. Place is priced cheap which is really good. Good place for an emergency overnight stay.

Bathroom was not very clean especially the shower (please wear slippers when showing). Floor of room was not clean.

Cheap accommodation.

Booking.com mentioned that 'free on-site parking' was included and there was no need for any extra reservations. Upon reaching the house, we were told that the parking was not included and was only for long term residents. We were suggested to park in the plaza ~300m away from the house. Even in mid-February winter, we obliged. It is a hostel-like accommodation, shared kitchen and washrooms. We were informed that there were long-term residents staying in the house. However, the washroom was dirty!! We had to rinse out the bathtub before stepping in. The floors were dusty, there was trimmed hair all around the wash basins. I dont understand how the others have been living here?? The kitchen is modest. I tried heating water in the kettle but it was so scaled by the salt that we did not feel like drinking it. Bed is OK for a one-night stay but dont go here if you want to stay longer. I was looking for reviews that would mention washroom before booking but couldn't find anything. Are they deleting the bad reviews somehow??
