Best Western Plus Bowmanville

Had an excellent stay - fast and courteous check-in, comfortable room, working television and wifi, toilet, shower, etc., great breakfast, nice people, reasonably rate - would definitely stay there again. less

We were in room 121 there was a parking spot very close to this room but in the grassy area you walk by to the door it was so disgusting covered with cigarette butts and dog messes. The room itself was nice (old but updated at some point) and pretty clean-2 beds in separate bedroom- living area with sofa bed, small table 2 chairs and handicapped accessible bathroom- kitchen area had sink, good sized fridge and a microwave the rooms had all laminate flooring and tile in bathroom. The pool area looked nice but the water in the pool was very cloudy and it was just too cold- I had read complaints on that here before in reviews and while management replies no effort has been made there- we could not use the pool it was just too cold and the next morning it was closed for cleaning. We did complain to the front desk person who said she would report it. We would not stay here again- the mess outside and the cold pool...we selected this hotel so we could have a swim guessing there is no working pool heater at all assume management will reply it is 80 degrees at that time like they have for other reviews most sites I read say ideal temp is 82-85 F and those few degrees make a big difference. There is free coffee in the lobby via a keurig. The breakfast was excellent- clean area well stocked- eggs, sausage potatoes and the usual toast, pastries etc. There was not enough seating though for all the guests. This hotel is a good location very close to the 401. Note for wheelchair users steps everywhere but our exterior door near room was accessible but to get into hotel itself to check in several steps. less

Surprised by this place. It was clean, well run and friendly. The breakfast was terrific!!!!!! Staff were also quick to solve any issues. The bed was great really good rest. I was pretty happy as this was the first decent hotel we came across. less

Hotel was super nice. Room great. Breakfast amazing. Pool was freezing to the point you could barely swim and my daughter cut her foot on something sharp on the pools stairs. Pool bottom felt gritty.. less

We stayed for the night on our way home from a long trip so for us the location close to 401 meant we could be on our way quickly in the morning. Very friendly and helpful staff, one of whom took the time to recommend somewhere to eat and then printed off the directions for us. Great breakfast with omelette bar. less
