My friend and I stayed at Fortune Bay after coming out of a 8 Day Canoe Trip in Canada. All we were looking for was a real bed and some decent food. It did not disappoint. The Bell Man was very helpful in loading our bags on a cart and the front desk staff was prompt and we had no... More

I apologize that you did not receive the room type that you prefered. I'm not quite sure how this happened but really suggest that if anyone ever has any type of problem during their stay please say something to the Front Desk, because they try their best to accomodate. We do have maintenance on 24 hours per day but if... More

We had stayed at fortune bay before and were looking forward to our two night weekend. After checking into our nonsmoking room we went down to eat. The food was just ok at the buffet but had a good selection. The whole resort was smoke filled and you could not escape the bad odor. It seemed like you were staying... More

I apologize if your stay wasn't satisfactory. As a non-smoker myself I understand your issue with second hand smoke. Typically there isn't much smoke in the resort itself unless we have an event going on where they can't smoke in the ballroom so many just go in the prefunction area. I looked into the room you stayed in and it... More

My husband and I stayed at Fortune Bay for the first time this past weekend for his work holiday party.

After doing some research on your reservation I was able to see where the credit card was denied twice for the $600. It is our policy to have a valid form of payment at check-in to cover the entire stay. The customer service that you experienced in the bar is unacceptable and will be addressed. Sorry about your experience, Garrett... More
