That probably has a lot to do with the hotel itself being the attraction here. If they don't wow then nobody will come. Disney and even say Quebec city don't have that issue and "luxury" isn't about getting more for your money. It's about milking the VP of Marketing for the North East Region. Who shows up and just expects some sort of token extra like a club to prove they aren't one of the plebes before going and dropping several hundred dollars in the bar every night. Corporate card or no corporate card even, just as long as you bill it to their room for their convenience. The best value for your money will almost never be the top price point.
Can I just say that your travel videos are like putting on a soft warm nice-smelling sweater on a cold day? They're such a lovely feast for the eyes with great cinematography . And sparks my love of travel thinking "I so want to go there". Thanks for another addition. 😁
You have some of the best reviews for these unique hotels and travel experiences. There's no over edited fillers, you have a cool and calm demeaner that explains things well and with heart, and, overall, you are very fair and objective. I can trust your video's to express as unbiased an opinion over your experiences. Thanks for showing off yet another wonderful location.
This is what niagara falls should be, not some vegas style hellscape from our collective nightmares, instead a place for quiet luxury and relaxation by the falls.

I agree the tourist area of the falls is a vagas-like heck hole, but Niagara Falls doesn't have any industry. Tourism and support is the only thing keeping the city alive
Agreed. It’s a nice change of pace to see high room rates come with actual, complimentary amenities as opposed to nickel-and-dimeing that can even exceed more affordable properties at time.
What I love most about your channel is unlike other travel channels I get the sense of it’s just you and your better half having a great time and letting us know about it the same way you would share your adventures with friends around a dinner table.
This is the most reasonably priced luxury boutique hotel I've seen in years. Sure big cities are expensive, but so can small ones due to lack of hotels as you mentioned. I've seen rooms like that corner one go for thousands of dollars even when they're only slightly better than the default rooms. Definitely makes this place very appealing to visit.
Absolutely no chance I would ever spend that kind of money on a hotel, but is is fascinating to see how other people vacation. Another well-produced effort, you're arguably the best travel channel on the site.
Wow, a review where you had little to no complaints about it. That's refreshing. In all seriousness, this place does look beautiful and worth the price of admission. I might have to add Elora (and perhaps the Elora Mill Hotel and Spa) to my travel bucket list.
What an amazing video! I never knew the town of Elora even existed. But isn't it just perfect? Seriously, absolutely stunning. The little towns of Canada always blow me away with their beauty and charm.
My husband and I (and our new 2 mo old baby) took a trip to Elora last week after the recommendation of this video and I have to say, if you're watching this and thinking about it, do it! Elora is PERFECT for a long weekend, and in the summer the pool deck is DIVINE. I could have spent two whole days up there AT LEAST not counting the amazing massage I got while there too. They even brought me fresh strawberry gelato while I was laying out! We got one of the river view rooms as recommended, and it was SPARKLING clean. Like amazingly so. Even my shower (which did have a bench in it) was PERFECT. Not a single speck of mildew. The MP steak no longer comes with polenta fries, but instead thinly sliced roasted potatoes pressed flat into a pan and then sliced, ala some recipies i've seen on tiktok. It was so so good, as were the cocktails I had. The town itself is also amazing, with tons of good food options, and TWO whole bookstores! 10/10 trip.
If I would not know this was in Canada I would think its an European town. How they renovated the old mill and incorporate the newer parts makes it look very authentic. That town has been taken care nicely and the developers seem to realize that they need to incorporate atmosphere of the village in to the new buildings. Looks like its going to be one of the go to town in the area and hopefully it stays that way. This is how you do it and the hotel company seems to have got the winning formula.
Always fascinating to learn about small places like this which I’ve never heard about before. I might never stay there but I love to learn the history behind them
No doubt, seriously, this is absolutely the nicest room you have ever been in that I've seen. This place is amazing and it's equivalent to the nicest hotels I have been in it is beautiful. Thanks so much great content as always you rock period
I know it would be rare, but it would be nice to see Northeastern Ontario on the Bright Sun Travels channel. Temagami restaurant and hotel, Waterfront Inn in New Liskeard, Cedar Meadows in Timmins, The Station Inn in Cochrane, Park Inn in Kaspuskasing, Queen’s Motel in Hearst, Wawa Motor Inn in Wawa, Cavalier Motel in Cochrane, l’Orée des Bois Motel in Longlac, Marathon Harbour Inn in Marathon, etc
That's a pretty decent looking hotel with a lovely town surrounding it. Worlds above those corporate resort hotels. You know how theme parks are the attraction to the hotel, the town is the attraction. I am not sure I am getting the full experience from viewing this video, but the town looks laid back and chill. I'd love to experience this someday.
Absolutely gorgeous! You are the only person who could tell me in detail about their weekend trip and have my full attention for 15 minutes. Love all the historic perspectives as well as your respect for the people who live near these places.
Been watching both channels of yours for a while now, and realized that I don't need or feel like watching other traveling channels, what I highly appreciate most. Honesty. This is it, top marks.
I thoroughly enjoyed your segment on Pearle Hospitality. What an incredible job they've done with so many historic buildings - preserving the history while bringing in the modern & glamour. Would love to stay at one of their properties soon. Fantastic review, Jake
So stoked for this!! I live 30 minutes outside of Elora and it’s so beautiful! You have to come back in the summer and hike down the “restricted” side of the gorge! It’s so peaceful and beautiful wading in the river!! PS Ray Woodey’s chipery makes fantastic pub-style nachos!
It's nice to know that the customer is still a priority for hotels that aren't the regular run of the mill places . I hope they take care of their staff with what they charge , as under paid and under appreciated staff can and often do make a world of difference . It's always the little things that make the biggest difference as well .
I went there (just the restaurant, not staying at the hotel) and it was a great experience overall. Small town atmosphere with plenty to see and do. Fantastic for a little weekend trip.
An actual quality experience from a Canadian luxury hotel room? I'd lost hope after the embarrassment of Niagara Falls. But wow. this actually looks really worth the price. (I'm speaking as a denizen of the GTA suburbs)
Hearing we share a hometown was quite a surprise! I’ve never had a reason to go to Elora but I absolutely do now! Looks like it’d make for a great weekend getaway 😊 Great video and review!
Can I just say that I am really enjoying your new channel and your travel videos. :) As someone who can’t afford to really travel themselves I actually enjoy listening to you and your honest thoughts and your un-pretentious stile. You really have a talent I think for actually giving good info for travelers and also those who enjoyed watching you experience and explore these lovely places! Keep doing what you love ❤️
It is nice to see how the amenities in Elora have been really improved. We stayed there about 30 years ago. The hotel was OK and the dining room had an area where you sit and dine over the falls; the meal was pretty good.A year later we returned, since we enjoyed our stay before. This time everything changed. The dining room and meal was a tremendous disappointment, so we never returned.
thank you for filming this! i've visited Elora many times over the years and have been so curious to see the inside of the Elora Mill since the construction had finished. amazing work Jake!
What a lovely video! The hotel and the town are charming. Your suite looked amazing. Another travel adventure with Jake-Perfect. May I also suggest another lovely small boutique hotel-The Bruce-in my hometown of Stratford Ontario. It has a unique story behind it, and is walkable to the Stratford Shakespearean Festival, the Avon River, and downtown. Perhaps one to add to your list. Can't wait to see your cruise videos. Happy travels!
I got chills, literally chills, when you mentioned that you could get the experience of being in the kitchen for your meal. Right then and there, I am sold. I don’t care what room I stay in, but dang, I so want to go up there and experience it.
One of my favorite parts of this channel and your other is I can watch the videos, but also use them to sleep. The slow and relaxing nature is exactly what I like to sleep to, but also I love the content so I get to watch and listen to videos multiple times. I really enjoy it
Another great video Jake. As a transplant to Hamilton, I honestly can’t say enough good things about Pearle - the buffet brunch at the Ancaster Mill is easily one of my favourite meals (full stop), and Earth to Table manages to be incredible yet accessible.
Bro compared to the Hilton Presidential Suite it's night and day. This is real luxury. And the developer also invest millions in a small Canadian town to bring tourism, this is awesome. If the amenities are stellar and they make sure you aren't bored for your stay it looks like a fantastic trip.
After this video, I finally discovered what that building was in Niagara Falls, too bad Six Flags didn’t buy it to turn it into Six Flags power plant 2.0
Jake, you do such a wonderful job on all of your videos, whichever subject matter you are tackling, it’s always top notch. Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do and keep up the great work.
You kept saying “and below that” and then showing and describing beautiful rooms with great perks lol I’d feel like I got a great stay no matter how much I spent.
Elora Mill is definitely that girl! Went to the restaurant this summer and had one of the best service at a restaurant. Food was delicious, mood/vibe was just right, and the view of the waterfall was beautiful
Wow this place looks amazing! Feel like you went at the perfect time of year! Love this channel because I get to travel and see amazing stays without having to actually travel or pay.
I stayed at the one of their other properties, the Pearle Hotel in Burlington, and was pretty impressed. Those motion sensing lights when you get out of bed are such a great feature. My half asleep mind couldn't understand what was happening when they first turned on.
The second i saw your thumbnail i recognized the location and got goosebumps. I spent a LOT of time with friends tubing down the Grand River at Elora Gorge and i've seen these buildings probably 50 times from below. You can walk upstream from the campgrounds and sit directly below the waterfall. the Campsites are pretty decent too.
so I would never even consider a disney product, but these little boutique hotels are so much more appealing! Would love to see your take on some safari experiences!
The first video is from somewhere local to me. It feels so strange to see streets I have walked hundreds of times. Also a strange feeling coming round circle from watching the abandoned series for years now watching your travel videos and seeing home. Great video as always!
I watched the downfall of the previous mill with consternation - the dissheveled state lasted so long! It is therefore a relief to see that the redevelopment is not cookie cutter, and good quality. I recommend hiking along the Gorge footpaths - especially in fall.
I would say I'm very familiar with luxury hotels and I wasn't even familiar with this place and I'm glad I am now. A gorgeous property, so many wonderful details. Will absolutely be following Pearle's projects.
Would love if you did other places in and around Ontario! Maybe somewhere near Niagara-on-the-Lake, think you mentioned the place in your Niagara Falls suite video but it 100% deserves it's own in my opinion. Been quite a few years since I was last there but it's such a cool area.
I was on vacation in Canada and just doing a random roadtrip driving anywhere. I was lucky to drive through Elora. The town was so beautiful that we walked around a couple of hours and picked up some things at the destillery which i can recommend very much 😁
I visited the Elora Mill about 25 yrs ago. What a beautiful place then, but really nice to see how it’s grown. You’re right that the condo is an eyesore, but given how well they’ve done with the Mill, I can only hope they did as good a job with the condo.
Kinda resembles Snoqualmie Falls, ( though far less dramatic ) where the iconic Twin Peaks show was shot. There was a fictional hotel located above the falls ( the Great Northern ) and it actually is a real-life hotel.
Grew up here, it’s amazing what they’ve done with the property, very happy to see. I remember going to the old mill for dinner on “special occasions” and it definitely needed this upgrade.
As someone who lives very close to Elora, I've always heard of the Mill as THE place to do any luxury events (everyone wants their wedding here!). So nice to finally see inside and find out it lives up to the hype!

I like that Jake seems very unbiased. Especially on Disney. Despite him having been a fan of them.

give them time to build the rest of the buildings...there are still a few trees around, so get there quick if you wanna see em

The complementary stuff really makes this experience great. Too often we get ripped off by little things that all cost extra.

Tubing in the gorge in the summer is so much fun!

What a wonderful place for a fall getaway! Emmy is a terrific B-roll model.
I'm very impressed with this hotel. Every other experience around the world got worst, and this is a breath of fresh air! Congrats Elora!

I will take small details over grandiose opulence any day. Thanks for sharing this gem with us!

Very easy style review to listen to, I look forward to the next ones.
Thanks for including the Halloween setup and local decorations. Really beautiful stay!
This legit screams "The perfect honeymoon" location, and it just *is perfect.*
What an insanely beautiful hotel, the rooms look incredibly gorgeous. Thank you for another well-detailed video!

Ayy Kitchener shout out lets go, I love Elora a lot, been to the Elora gorge a lot of times :)
The Elora Mill Hotel and Spa is a beautiful place to stay for a couple of nights. Great staff and ideal location.
They also have a great Summer Music Festival (my friends the AD).
That place is gorgeous! Well worth the price.
It looks beautiful! Adding to my list of places to visit in the future!

Love this channel because I get to travel and see amazing stays without having to actually travel or pay.
One of the most scenic reviews to date. Always looking forward to more, Jake!
I stayed at the one of their other properties, the Pearle Hotel in Burlington, and was pretty impressed. Those motion sensing lights when you get out of bed are such a great feature. My half asleep mind couldn't understand what was happening when they first turned on.

the Campsites are pretty decent too.
Back again with my favorite channel!! Love it Jake 😊
Love the Ontario content 🥰
I think it was closed when you stayed in Elora, but the Elora Gorge Conservation Area is also a great place to visit when in Elora!
so I would never even consider a disney product, but these little boutique hotels are so much more appealing! Would love to see your take on some safari experiences!
Such a beautiful place! ❤ Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
The first video is from somewhere local to me. It feels so strange to see streets I have walked hundreds of times. Also a strange feeling coming round circle from watching the abandoned series for years now watching your travel videos and seeing home. Great video as always!
Used to go camping near Elora :) its such a lovely town for nature lovers!
Love this channel. Great review of a beautiful hotel. Definitely seems worth the money given those views.
I watched the downfall of the previous mill with consternation - the dissheveled state lasted so long! It is therefore a relief to see that the redevelopment is not cookie cutter, and good quality. I recommend hiking along the Gorge footpaths - especially in fall.
Nice review. What a great location and an excellent option for a special occasion.
Haven't been since the renovations, but used to eat regularly at the old Restaraunt, was pricey but had a good wine cellar and very good food
I would say I'm very familiar with luxury hotels and I wasn't even familiar with this place and I'm glad I am now. A gorgeous property, so many wonderful details. Will absolutely be following Pearle's projects.
Would love if you did other places in and around Ontario! Maybe somewhere near Niagara-on-the-Lake, think you mentioned the place in your Niagara Falls suite video but it 100% deserves it's own in my opinion. Been quite a few years since I was last there but it's such a cool area.

My wife and I got engaged here in September 1996. Was saddened when they closed for a number of years around 2010 but happy to see they have reopened.
All that money, and they still stick the TV over the fireplace.
I work here haha in the wedding venue attached I was stunned when I heard the opening line of this video
Wait I stayed on Halloween night too cuz they had an employee deal
Whoa.. the setting is actually really pretty!
Kinda resembles Snoqualmie Falls, ( though far less dramatic ) where the iconic Twin Peaks show was shot. There was a fictional hotel located above the falls ( the Great Northern ) and it actually is a real-life hotel.
Ive driven past this a few times and always wondered what it was really like.
Hey Jake, greetings from Brazil! I lived in Burlington. Amazing place!
Grew up here, it’s amazing what they’ve done with the property, very happy to see.
I remember going to the old mill for dinner on “special occasions” and it definitely needed this upgrade.
ouuuu would love to see you cover other northern ontario gems in other town ships
As someone who lives very close to Elora, I've always heard of the Mill as THE place to do any luxury events (everyone wants their wedding here!). So nice to finally see inside and find out it lives up to the hype!
No way! A fellow Hamiltonian! Keep up the great work
Omg you’re from Hamilton!! Me too lol. That exciting, usually if TH-camrs are Canadian they’re in Toronto lol
Right? Or they are on the west coast
Elora itself is a nice place to spend for a day or a weekend. The gorge at the park there is just a sight to behold.
So glad I found this channel, I’m always looking forward to new videos!
Your wife must thoroughly enjoy the perks of your works...what a lovely resort and you did it justice...I think I'll go book a room now...thank you!!
Jake, this is the first hotel you've reviewed that I've thought: "Man, I really wanna stay there!" Thanks for the great videos!
As usual, love the video! I hope to see more cruise videos soon! They are my absolute favorite, but I really enjoy your perspective. See you need vid!
