Is definitely a place where you step back in time. The woodwork and the furniture are such an experience because it’s all very 1800s early 1900 setting. The preparation of the food and the presentation is absolutely wonderful. It is not your traditional motel it’s a hotel with a time stamped flare.

A beautiful heritage building, warm and welcoming! Staff were pleasant and helpful, the restaurant was great. Just a great vibe in an old building with lots of history in a beautiful location in the park. Enjoyed the large fireplace in the entry. The grounds are beautiful too.

Excellent hospitality. One of the most charming places I’ve stayed. If back in the area, wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. The smell of firewood fills the place in the most comforting way. It was clean, quiet, and full of old world charm.

Our stay at Dalvay by the Sea Hotel was magical! The property was incredible, the staff was lovely, and the room was clean and comfortable. We ate at the restaurant twice (dinner and breakfast) and both were WELL worth it. We would return in a heartbeat!
