This was an amazing place. The room was full of little amenities - the coffee in the room was good, the beds were perfect, and even the shampoo provided was good. On top of that, the pool was a treasure - Jacuzzi, individual saunas, and an amazing weight room. The entire price of a room is worth it just for the pool. The amazing experience was only just slightly soured by the rudeness of the assistant manager at check in - but hopefully he can be better trained so as not to interfere with the amazing experience that is this hotel. Whenever I am through this way again, I will definitely be staying here.

4 Star feel Sauna Jacuzzi Pool Bistro 3hr fr GTA

Not officially 4★ but LOOKS & FEELS like one – modern, crisp, calming. QUIET ROOMS / COMFY BEDS / SOFT CLEAN SHEETS. Service was EXCELLENT – staff clearly take pride in their work. BEST SURPRISE → TWO ELECTRIC SAUNAS right beside the pool + hot tub (not even mentioned online!) + a GAMES ROOM with a pool table we found last minute. FOOD = SHOCKINGLY REASONABLE for a Marriott (maybe that’s Sarnia). Had a tasty EGGS BENEDICT – slightly overcooked but I didn’t specify, so fair enough. Tiny hiccup → some OLD MENUS with prices off by $1, but no big deal when everything else was this good. BONUS → RELAXING 1PM LATE CHECKOUT. PRICE? Just $140 CAD/night – an absolute STEAL compared to what you’d pay north of Toronto for something far less nice. AREA HIGHLIGHTS → soft-sand BEACH, FREE downtown ART GALLERY, quirky little OIL MUSEUM. ALL IN ALL → FANTASTIC, AFFORDABLE GETAWAY from Toronto – already planning to return!

The Insignia Hotel is the epitome of customer service excellence. The staff are so warm and welcoming.. every time I book, I can’t wait to come back. From the great location to the furnishings to the amenities but, mostly, the amazing staff are why I just love it here.
