“Rude owner”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2010

We booked the dinner package and were very impressed with the meal that was served. Everything was delicious. However, there were two big spiderwebs above our bed full of bugs and our toilet was filthy. We asked to have the webs removed and the toilet cleaned and were told it would be taken care of right away but it was never done. It is an older building, and our carpet was stained, but if the owners would have cleaned after we requested it, it would have been a decent place to stay. We were told at 9:20 PM on a Saturday night that we had to finish our drinks and leave the bar as the barmaid wanted to catch the 9:30 ferry back to Kingston. We then asked the owner which door we would be able to come in later as we were going to check out the Pelican Grill down the street. He wanted us to have a drink in the dining room instead and was rude when we declined. After checking out the Pelican and finding it empty, we decided to return to the General Wolfe for a drink after all. The total time we were gone was 5 minutes but when we returned the owner told us we were too late and could no longer have a drink in the dining room. He did however say we could buy one and take it to our room, we declined. Breakfast the next morning was just average and the service was horribly slow, especially since there were only 6 people in the restaurant at the time and we had let the waitress know that we were trying to catch the 9:00 AM ferry. The location is good, but we definitely won't be going back, especially after there was a hand-written gratuity of $20 added to our bill from the register that we weren't advised about beforehand.

“Very affordable, very relaxing...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2010

We stayed at the General Wolfe hotel on Wolfe Island and we loved it. We took the Ferry to the island it was very relaxing and free. The Hotel is very affordable, the rooms were very clean and staff personable. The food freshly made was very good. We were thrilled to have been referred to this Hotel through the Tourist office and we were so lucky to have chosen this hotel. We would recommand it to all of our friends.

“Have 3rd world expectations”

Arrived at 9:30pm to a totally dark hotel. Reminder, the next ferry isn't for an hour and it was cooold! The owner came to the door astonished we were so late, although no one mentioned timing when I booked. If you can get over the owners smoking in the bar, hopefully turning up when you bang on the window a second time, being locked out WITH a key that didn't work on the outside door and my daughter alone in the room, yikes!! Beds were clean, "newly renovated" I agree funny. Freezing room and no kettle or clock, no one answered the phone when we phoned downstairs. Toilet paper quality: below that of public schools.

“better than expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2009

It is a nice small family run hotel. Do not expect 5 stars hotel service. The owner and his wife provide personal touch to their guests. Parking lot for both cars & boats, even storage for my bikes. Suggestion for bike routes..etc. The four courses dinner package is a good deal.(Angus beef taste good). Restaurant staffs for dinner and breakfast are friendly. They try to serve their guests as fast as possible. (I did reserve the table in advance). In general it is a leisure way to stay in Wolfe Island. My room is clean with lake view. It may need new carpet and minor work in the bathroom. The hotel is walking distance to the ferry. I felt some other reviews were bias.

“Great character”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2009

Reading the other reviews, I just have to say-WOW you all sound like spoiled foreign (American I assume) tourists! So the place isn't huge, and the outside is pretty shabby. The interior decor is a bit dated, and the place in general is a bit quite, but overall DEFINATLY worth the stay. The food in the casual dining room is what it says it is-casual, and cheap. I had breakfast (the special that was included in my package), and it was cooked with love. Definatly have dinner in the formal dining room if you get a chance, the food is lovely, and the service is excellent and almost one on one. The hotel is kept very clean, and depending on how much you are willing to pay, the view is great too (I stayed in room 2, gorgeous skylights!) If you are willing to forgo a bit of exterior beauty, and minorly rude service (on the owners part) then this place is definatly worth the stay! And its only a 2 minute walk from the ferry-no car required!
