Penny's Motel, Thornbury | ConcertHotels.com

Will stay here again next...

Liked: Great location - 10 min drive from blue mountain and few minutes away from the shops/cafes of Thornbury. Modern and cozy interiors with great attention to details and amenities (Fire pit, sauna, Nesspresso machine, smart TV, and many other little things that make a difference)
Disliked: Mattress was too soft and pillows too high, but that’s a matter of preference I suppose. Opening times of shop/bar/apres area were limited to the afternoon.

Funky place to stay

Liked: Modern, clean rooms with cool art and little quirks! Sauna was lush, hope to use the cold pool next time. Short walk through some cool parks, waterside trails and yummy grub! Staff were great and welcomed us upon arrival.
Disliked: Cool place to stop on our way home from Manitoulin but not tonnes to do locally (without going to Collingwood).

Great getaway and the Service...

Liked: The Staff at Apres was AMAZING!!!! The Manager was also so kind and accommodating.
Disliked: Room was cute, grounds were fun and the food was delicious.

Liked: Such a cute motel. Vibe was amazing, so quiet too. Comfy rooms with all the amenities you need and more . Stay were over the top exuding customer service and so personable . Within a 10 minute walk to downtown to lots of excellent restaurants and shops. Across from Thornbury brewery too! Can walk to the harbour which was a bonus! Definitely recommend and will go again.

A Wonderful little hidden gem

Superb

The Penny pros and cons

Liked: Cool and hip vibe and decor! Relaxing spot and close to places in town to eat at and see. Not a far bike ride or drive to the water and beautiful sunsets down at the Pier that you don't want to miss. The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to and gave great suggestions on where to eat. Good amenities (sauna, cold plunge pool, yard games, live music, bikes, fire pit). All in all it was a nice spot to stay for a couple nights.
Disliked: They did great executing the vibe, decor and some amenities, but they missed the mark when it comes to functionality, mainly with the rooms. The bathrooms are tiny so the space in it needs to be used better. A shelf under the sink for your toiletries, extra toilet paper, etc..would be better than having a basket with a hair dryer in it. There needs to be 2 shelves above the toilet to put things on and a couple more hooks to hang a hand towel or your clothes on rather than off the bathroom window crank! The light bulbs in the lamps are very dim and need to be brighter so you can read at night and see. More hangers are needed and an iron and ironing board as well. Providing some hooks near the door to hang your swim towels and swimsuit on to dry would be helpful. As for the outside area, it was well thought out and lots to do. It's a small property so not a huge outdoor space but what they did with it is inviting and comfortable. The only thing I would suggest is to put in stepping stones in the area where the seats, pool and sauna are as the rocks are very hard to walk on with bare feet. Also an umbrella on the pool deck since it's full sun there the entire day. All in all the feel of the place and amenities they provided were good. It's the smaller details that need to be ironed out and worked on.
