We had a wonderful stay at the Briars resort for new years eve (3 couples). The food was excellent! The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. I found the prices were good for what we got (2 nights in a suite, 2 breakfasts & 2 dinners and a DJ for new year's eve). This was my 3rd time going and I absolutely love it there. I want to thank all the staff for giving up their new years eve by working, we all had an amazing time !

Kitchen was under renovations, so no meals involved. Walked the building, was like being in an old century home. Beautiful grounds. We coukd use the fireplace in our room, which was added bonus. Will return.

The Hotel is such a landmark and the front desk staff were amazing! The old world feel is so grand until you enter the room that was dated and in need of a renovation badly. Such a shame that the rooms are so awful to stay at such a beautiful location.

Great location for the area but its definitely time for some reno's. Very dated from Lobby to rooms. They were clean just old. Staff were amazing and friendly. The grounds landscaping is very well done. The best part is the Golf course. I play a lot around the area and this is quite the well maintained course and a good challenge. I highly recommend coming here if your a golfer its really amazing and in pristine shape.

I was in Room 212. The carpet was dated and stained. To top it all, after I checked out, I realized that I left my coat in my room in the closet. So I reported it to the front desk who gave me the key to my room, but there was no coat and the room was cleaned. Three days now and they tell me they've made a report but don't have my coat. Sad.

We stayed in room #208, from Sunday, October 8 to Monday, October 9, 2023. We paid $379 ($435 total) for bed and breakfast, and we believe that it is an absolute rip-off. At that price, we expected to receive a certain level of service and, unfortunately, our expectations were not met. Our intention was to spend a nice and relaxing time in what is announced as a "luxurious resort" and a "4-star hotel", rating seen when looking up the resort on the Internet. In our opinion, it is anything but luxurious or highly rated: we have traveled a lot (and stayed in about 90 hotel rooms!) and we KNOW what luxurious or "4-star" hotel means. Upon entering the room, we were immediately struck by the tired furniture and worn-out carpeting. The bathroom was a remnant of the 1970's : everything was old and past its due date. When we used the shower, there were 2 inches of water at our feet. The A/C system was so noisy that I had to turn it off after hours of not sleeping. There was a bug in one of the drawers. The overall condition of the room was very disappointing and left us feeling uncomfortable during our stay. Finally, we paid an extra $30 for a "lakeview room", and were truly shocked that we could see only a small parcel of Lake Simcoe between a few trees. This is plain false advertising, and the room was absolutely not worth the extra money. At around 5:30 pm on the evening of October 8, we went to the restaurant, and were told to make reservations for dinner with the Front desk. What an odd practice... We were told that our reservation would be at 7 pm, which was too late for us. What kind of luxury resort cannot offer dinner to its guests when the restaurant was clearly open and empty? We were hoping that breakfast would save the trip, as we had looked at the menu in advance. Unfortunately, only an ordinary buffet option was offered - again, what kind of luxury resort doesn't offer its own à-la-carte breakfast menu? I wrote to the Management and nobody ever got back to me. Stay at the Ramada Jackson's Point : there you get what you pay for.

Beware - not lake view. Property is across the street from the lake. You can’t see the lake from their “lake view” rooms. Price is ridiculous for this run down, mostly empty “resort”. I deeply regret booking here for my partner’s surprise 50th getaway. Never again.

The staff are very nice and as always the grounds are beautiful and the food was good. the venue for the dining room is oppressive but the bar is very nice. However the maintenance on this property is substandard. Some of the rooms were not clean and the common areas were not properly maintained. The outdoor pool has been broken for some time and 2 years in a row it has not been operative. The indoor pool also did not work when we were there and it was closed. This resort used to be the jewel of the region. Unfortunately it is no longer the case.
