This past weekend Aimee and I ended up driving to Port Stanley with her mother for an afternoon and I had the opportunity to check out The Kettle Creek Inn. I don’t know about you, but I think you get a true indication of the kind of service an Inn or Hotel provides when you pop in completely unannounced to check it out. From a business perspective I recognize this is completely unfair but I do it anyway because if we are going to recommend a place to our customers I want to know that we are sending them to a place that will jump through hoops. What I have found is that the good places are not phased by this kind of thing but the mediocre and bad places stick out like sore thumbs.
So, what did I find? Like the other members of Ontario’s Finest Inns that I have visited, the Kettle Creek Inn is a place I would not hesitate to recommend. Although it is small Inn with only 10 guest rooms and 5 suites they are spacious and very clean and the Inn has a nice, intimate feel to it. I was impressed with the small pub at the entrance to the Inn and, having never visited Port Stanley, I was also pleasantly surprised with the town and have it on my list to places to come back and visit.
The reason I wanted to check out the Inn is because we are scouting places in Ontario, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania for potential destinations to which we will be organizing trips for the members of our Fly Fishing Club in 2011.
