Charming place. Staff were amazing and went out of their way to make sure we were happy. Lots of fun with the games and the s’mores and fire pit. Great cocktails and it was a cool nite so the hot toddies really helped. Comfortable bed, nice shower. Overall great experience - definitely want to go back. Lots of fun.

I had such a wonderful stay at this charming boutique hotel—it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to make my stay as comfortable as possible. It’s rare to find such consistently kind and thoughtful service. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, with a cozy yet stylish atmosphere that makes it feel both special and relaxing. My room was spotless, well-appointed, and had all the little touches that make a big difference. The location is within easy walking distance of some of the best local spots—cafés, restaurants, and shops—making it incredibly easy to explore and enjoy the area without needing to travel far. Overall, this hotel offers a perfect blend of charm, comfort, and exceptional service. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing getaway.

Boutique motel within a 15min walk into town. The staff is super friendly. The rooms are on the smaller side but have everything you need. Updated, with a nice bathroom (heated floors), they have lots of nice small details (smores to make on the fire, sauna in the main area with a cold tub, little bar with oysters and tapas, coolers outside of each room to put your wine/beer). Its a nice place to hangout a bit and meet people and also to walk into town. Thornburry has lots of good places to eat, jump off the pier, nice walking/biking trails, kayak on the river or georgian bay, hike the escarpment, wineries, or going into blue mountain village. Fun get away!

I stayed one night at Penny’s Motel. I had extenuated circumstances and asked if I could check in early . It wasn’t a problem. Catherine got right back to me . I appreciated that sooo much. I wish I could have enjoyed all the amenities around . Maybe next time. Everything was great!! No complaints here. Well if I were to complain it would be over the price. Very expensive for a room for the night. BUT I didn’t have to worry about anything. It was clean ; the bed and bed covers clean and comfortable. All the little extras were lovely. So, in the end - you get what you pay for!

Penny's Motel was an awesome stay for me and my friends. The staff was lovely, food was great, rooms were clean and cozy but spacious at the same time. Check in and checkout was effortless, and help for anything was easily accessible. If you're looking for a relaxing place to just chill and hangout with your friends or just a place to reset, 10/10 highly recommend.

This place is adorable. Little over priced for a motel but makes up for it in charm. Being close to Blue Mountain it is a perfect over night stop. Retro pool, sauna, bikes and treats on the bed at night. The owners have thought of everything. This was always on our wish list and it didn’t disappoint. Well done
