This business has it all. A first class motel, cottage rentals and now boat excursions. The owners work very hard in making your trip to Tobermory perfect. A perfect place to spend a night, a weekend or a week. I've stayed at other places...and now I don't.

Very comfortable older motel next to ferry terminal. Short walk to harbour restaurants. Location is perfect for travellers going to Manitoulin Island and points north. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Very reasonably priced. Was not expecting any frills here. Good basic accommodation. Would likely try a different motel the next time in Tobermory....there's a large selection in this... More

We stayed at the Bruce Anchor Motel over the second weekend in September on our way up to Manitoulin Island. They have reduced rates in effect this time of year and the value was excellent! We stayed in the luxury king room with Jacuzzi, fridge etc. The room was very modern and well maintained, as were the grounds. Upon checking... More

Be careful reading glowing reviews about any hotel in Tobermory. The town is a terminal for the car ferry and that is what fills their hotels to capacity during peak season. They know it and run their businesses accordingly. The Bruce Anchor hotel is probably one of the better choices in Tobermory. It is clean enough and appears to be... More

We were on a tour around the Great Lakes and this hotel is where we stayed in Aug before taking the early morning ferry. It was within walking distance of the restaurants. We were on the first floor facing the water so we had a nice view as well. We had some problems getting the TV to work, but Sean,... More

We wanted to call down to the front desk but no phones in the room!? Housekeeping was quick to come up but took her 45 minutes to change the sheets,... More

We rented this cottage from Bruce Anchor to share with another couple, friends of ours, and we booked about 6 weeks in advance. PROs: privacy (it's 5 minutes down a country road from the rest of the motel); beautiful wooden interior offers a chalet-like feel; includes kitchen, barbecue grill, clothesline, TV, 2 bathrooms; and the cost ($245 per weeknight +...

The Bruce Anchor Motel is very well located cllose to downtown and has obviously been upgraded fairly recently. However not enough attention had been paid to details to justify the $165 room rate. The bathroom door wouldn't closr properly, one of the bedside lights didn't work properly, the bed was hard, the pipes from the room upstairs in the wall... More

Serious problems. Impolite desk staff. We arrived only to find the room reeking of deodorizer. The wall are thin, and we heard someone in the next room sawing logs all night. No phone. No restaurant. So what, a free coffee. Many of the rooms here do not have a view of the water-- you will pay the same rate as... More
