I ran for the CIBC Run For The Cure in memory of our dear friend, It was the most amazing experience of my life, I raised $700 and in return I recieved a certificate for a night at the Lantern Inn and breakfast for two. I called and they recommended I stay on a Saturday to get the breakfast, I said the coupon was only valid Sunday through Thursday, she said it would be no problem as breakfast was not served during the week. We arrived early and were greeted by a friendly gentleman
who took our certificate and showed us to our room, it was beautiful, dinner amazing, we spent the day enjoying the shops and had a great evening....until the next morning when we went for breakfast, I went to the lobby to get the paper, Good Morning I said to the lady behind the counter, she said "what room are you checking out of?" I said I'm just getting the paper and then having breakfast...again she asked what room? I said 201, she then threw my certificate on the counter and said your room is not free......I was shocked and explained that we gave the attendant it last night and there was no problem, she said well you can't read than can you, I was agin stunned by her anger, she snatched my breakfast coupon off the counter and said you are not having breakfast, we said we had dinner last night and she reponded with "did you pay for dinner"?, I asked where the man was from last night and she said he was to scared to come in because of the two of us "troublemakers"???? At this point I was at a lost for words and knew there was no way to get through to this women who believe it or not was Joan Rumgay the Inn's owner, we went to our room and packed and left. This lady ruined a great weekend escape for my sister and I and treated us like animals. I will now be writing a letter to Allyson Cardiff of Ontario's Finest Inns and Spas to ensure this will not be one of the Inns that is listed.

I have stayed at almost 20 different spas and inns in Ontario and this was by far the worse.

We wanted to see a special show at the Capitol Theatre in Port Hope and the Visitors Bureau told us about packages which include theatre tickets, overnight accommodation and dinner at an hotel. Fortunately we were directed to this inn. We could not be more pleased with our stay there. The owner and staff were extremely pleasant and the food in the restaurant was of the highest quality. Though other, perhaps less expensive, restaurants are available in the town, this inn provides exceptional quality dining. The chef is superb and her kitchen staff reflect her high standards for taste and presentation.. If you like to eat fish and chips and take your own beer in a cooler, there are other slightly-downscale establishments within walking distance of this delightful inn, where your travel dollar will certainly stretch a little further, but gems like this one should be treasured, valued and supported. May they stay in business for many years to come. We will certainly return with the greatest of pleasure.

We found this hotel by accident and it was brill, located next to the fish & chip shop (tasty), in Port Hope, the staff we,re really friendly and the rooms are beautiful and clean well worth staying at ,as its right in the town so ideal for exploring and some very good bars in the vicinity but not rowdy at all. Right on lake ontario with a beach area, our only complaint was we did,nt find it earlier in our trip as we would have enjoyed more time there
