Welcome to The Champlain Waterfront Hotel, an Ascend Hotel Collection

The good: just about everything, schick and modern room, very comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom (shower only, but this was a five star bathroom). Friendly staff, great location downtown, eatery/pub attached to it had good food.

We stayed here for 9 nights with our family. The hotel staff were wonderful. We loved loved the breakfast spread set out each morning complete with egf & cheese wraps, bacon & egf sandwiches, fruit cocktail, oatmeal and pastries. The coffee was excellent (big plus) as we are addicted to good coffee :)

Our son was hospitalized in the Pediatric Hospital in Orillia. We arrived with nothing but the clothes on our backs. The staff and owner of The Champlian hotel were generous and kind and made sure we were taken care of. Every effort was made to insure were were comfortable and that we had what we needed. Special extras were offered and it held us together during one of the most difficult times in our lives. I am in the hospitality business and I have been inspired to do better. Please stay here if you have anyone in hospital and you are from out of town. It is a short drive down the street and you will have a family here to receive you when you are about to fall apart at the end of the day.

We stayed at the Champlain Waterfront Hotel in December. When searching for a hotel, we were looking for something very close to Casino Rama for the night we were attending a concert. This hotel is about 10 - 15 minutes away on the west side of Orillia not far from Highway 11 but in the downtown core. It is very reasonably priced and very recently updated. Although the rooms were a little small, it was perfect for a one to two night stay.
