Manitoulin Island, Ontario hotel rooms at the Independent

"The cabin itself was a little run down and obviously needed work inside, but the situation right on the lake was beautiful. "

"Staff was very helpful and kind. Very clean rooms."

"Great stay"

"Room was very cold when I arrived, but 15 minutes with the heat on fixed that. Heater was loud, but manageable. Fine staff, easy check-in. With a bit of work the room could be elevated from OK to good."

"Kind and helpful owner."

"The room was clean. The bed was comfy. The heat was turned up high when I got there and the room was too warm. But I solved that by using the ac for outside air. Could not get hot water in my room but overall a 4 out of 5."

"I had a very comfortable stay at this motel. The room was exactly what I expected—clean, well-maintained, and equipped with newer amenities that made everything feel fresh and convenient. Check-in was quick and smooth, which I really appreciated. The staff were great—friendly, helpful, and professional throughout my stay. It’s clear that the new management is doing an excellent job keeping things organized and running well. Overall, a very positive experience, and I’d happily stay here again."

"Older out dated but very clean enjoyed our stay"

"overall it was good experience but too many restrictions. the best part was view from room and breakfast. you can hear people talking in nearby rooms. less privacy as people can still peek in your room from backdoors. "
