Hotels in Simcoe, Ontario: Three, and It Is Not Lake Simcoe

First, make sure you are looking at the right Simcoe. This is the town of Simcoe in Norfolk County, southwestern Ontario. Simcoe County and Lake Simcoe are a different place entirely, about 200 kilometres away near Barrie, and booking sites confuse the two constantly. Choice Hotels’ own page for the Simcoe Comfort Inn is headed “Hotels near Lake Simcoe”, which it is not.

The three hotels, all on the Queensway
Simcoe has three places to stay and every one is a highway property on Queensway, Highway 3, rather than downtown.
- Comfort Inn, 85 Queensway East, Simcoe, ON N3Y 4M5. Phone 519-426-2611. Choice notes that food and beverage options here may be limited or unavailable, so plan to eat elsewhere.
- Best Western Little River Inn, 203 Queensway West, Simcoe, ON N3Y 2M9. Phone 519-426-2125, or 1-800-780-7234 for Best Western central reservations.
- Travelodge by Wyndham Simcoe, 385 Queensway West, Simcoe, ON N3Y 2M9. Phone 519-426-4751. Recently renovated.
We could not confirm any B&B or independent inn in Simcoe from a primary source. Anything else offered to you for “Simcoe” is probably in a neighbouring town, or in Simcoe County.
Fair week is the problem
The Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show runs 6 to 12 October 2026 at 172 South Drive, essentially in the town itself. It is one of Canada’s larger fall fairs, seven days with grandstand concerts and motorsport, and three highway motels cannot absorb it.
For fair week, book far ahead or plan on Brantford, Tillsonburg, Port Dover or Delhi and drive in.
Summer is a softer squeeze
Long Point Provincial Park runs 8 May to 15 November 2026 with 250 campsites and no roofed accommodation at all. Anyone who wants a bed rather than a tent falls back on Simcoe’s three hotels or Port Dover’s lakeside stock, so summer weekends are tighter than the size of the town suggests.
Where else to stay in Canada — every guide we have for the region.
Sammie O publishes Germ Trips, a travel guide covering hotels, restaurants, airport transfers and chauffeur services. The guides aim for practical detail and a clear recommendation rather than an undifferentiated list. Where a town has no good option, the guides say so and point to the nearest one that does. Guides are AI drafted. A small number have been checked against official listings, and those say so on the page.
