Latest Gananoque hotel reviews
Pro
Clean, safe, friendly, easy to approach
Con
Limited choice of evening entertainment (although nearby Kingston remedies that) and no upscale shops, if you're into that kind of thing
In a nutshell
A walkable small town with friendly people, a strong positive relationship with the river, and simplicity
lohki Says: ***May to October ONLY***This was the ONE thing I needed to see when I was in the area, and I was not disappointed!Bolt Castle, built by the same man who built the Waldorf in NY, is on Heart Island not far from Alexandria Bay, NY. Need passport to visit hereThe restoration...
lohki Says: Grab and ice cream or cold drink from White Mountain and wander along the waterfront.This is also where you can reserve your ferry tickets for the many boat cruises around the area. There is a park and a bandshell for concerts and outdoor events.
lohki Says: Started in 2001 the paintings tell the historical story of Gananoque. My fav is the one of the towns people attending church in their boats!
lohki Says: Small and/or quaint casino.... Quite busy especially the slot machines, which far outweigh the tables.I am not much of a gambler, but I will always go into a casino if there is one to be found!My quarters, nickles and pennies were eaten up lickity split in this charity...
lohki Says: One of the best things about southern Ontario is what we entertainment folk call "summer stock" and Gananoque is no different. The Springer Theatre is a great mid-sized space and usually where their big shows are, currently showing Les Miserables until the end of August....
lohki Says: Cute and quaint with great prices, though I enjoyed my first visit better than my second.The service during the lunch rush was a little lacking and confused. I had the "Tummy Buster" burger both times I was there because it was so good the first time.Lots of fries and yummy...
lohki Says: Fun with a cute little patio looking out over the water.Service was fairly quick but it was also early evening on a Monday night. I bet it is busy on hot summer weekend nights. The fish and chips were great and served with fries, also enjoyed wings and a ceaser salad with...
Good Time Charly's Bar and Grill: Okay
lohki Says: This place is fine, especially if you are staying in the Best Western, or next door.Not my first choice for a return visit, but maybe fun on a weekend night for drinks and music. The 1000 Island Wrap was very good, as was the hot articoke/spinach dip. But the hot prime...
janika Says: The best way to get around and to Gananoque is in a car or motorcycle. There is some sort of public transpoortation available but I haven't seen any when we went there. Other than boat, you can use a train. There is a train station and has been in town for a very long time....
Robeson's Country Store: The Original!
lohki Says: This perfect country store has a deli counter/ice cream shop with little tables jumbled with in the kitchy antiques, decoys and signs!Though I was told not to eat here, (better deals elsewhere) the few people eating there all seemed to know each other and the...
Island Beach Company: Right on the Water
lohki Says: Cute little shop with nice touristy sweaters/shirts/cover-ups and salad dressing!There is also an art gallery upstairs. Perfect black (beach) cover up dress-- 19.75 plus tax $10.00 to 50.00
Scotts Discount: Small Town Savings
lohki Says: Teeny, tiny and dusty... but you never know what you might find! A cute "house dress" for $6.99 and batteries.
Fields: Small Town Department Store
lohki Says: I love Canadian small town department stores!Even if i don't buy anything, I usually have to take a look, just in case! Hot Air Popcorn Popper in BLACK, which is difficult to find, especially for $16.99
Baseball cap. It is windy on the boat!
janika Says: leave your luggage in the closed trunk of your car. Sandals or light running shoes. has to be very comfy. Gravol or some sort of anti-nausia pill if you get sea sick. Sometimes the St Lawrence river gets wavy and rough. Camera, film, xtra battery, NIL Food. Especially...
Gerrem Says: On board it's always windy and/or sunny. Take a hat or a cap with you!
janika Says: Another bird for you. Hydro poles. Don't climb this one though. This pole is infront of a motel and it's decorated with Native, Indian art. A wooden bird looking animal. It very well could be a fish or some sort. We should ask the artist on this one. :) Something interesting...
