So much fun!!! We LOVED our stay. I haven't stopped talking about what an awesome experience we had while staying here. From our arrival to our departure the staff were a 10/10. The room 10/10 and the food...omg the food was soooo good 10/10. We are trying to find excuses to return.
Highly recommend staying here when in the Chatham-Kent area.

We absolutely love this place. We had the Cowboy room and it was beautiful. The staff is friendly. The price is a little high...BUT... they give a $50 gift certificate to their restaurant The Chilled Cork which is awesome. They also give a free gift t-shirt and free dessert.
The restaurant is great too. A lot of things to choose from. My husband had a burger and I had the chicken and ribs Combo. Everything was cooked perfectly. I definitely recommend this place.

Our room was crisp clean and ready upon arrival right at 3pm check in. Front desk staff was quick and courteous at any and every request. Complimentary parking and in room bottled water beautiful touch.
Stayed in the Nantucket Loft for 10 year friendship anniversary, we ordered from the Chilled Cork: the food is Phenomenal, the staff in the restaurant even more so.
When staying we recommend walking the halls on every level: scavenger hunt these things 1. Number of cows/Bulls or cow related art and sculptures (milk and burgers count). 2. Number of Apples.
These are just two of the things we walked

Such a fun place to stay. We ended up in the Study room (left the room selection up to the staff) it has a very New York loft kind if feel to it. The whole hotel has some great decor and some interesting artwork and displays spread about. Didn't get the chance to dine in the restaurant (they close on Holiday weekends to give the staff time off.) Just means there needs to be another stay...also a chance to try out one of the other 44 rooms they have there.

King William room so beautiful, quite fancy but very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay so much. King size bed, mattress is so comfortable, bedding is so soft. Rooms exceptionally cleaned. Bar was very busy, just went for drinks but food looked amazing, only patio was open at the time reservations required at this time. Wonderful stay, recommending to everyone.

I stayed at this cute boutique hotel for work and it was a really nice break from the typical hotel chain you'd normally see.
Rooms are large with high ceilings and very nicely decorated - each room has a completely different theme! Such a neat feature. Hotel staff are courteous and attentive.
I stayed in a home- themed room. I was told it was the last available room for the date I stayed so I am wondering if this is one of the less "desirable" rooms for those that know the hotel (there seemed to be a lot of repeat visitors)
I'm giving this place 3 stars because the mattress

I spent the last night in Chatham (three hours from Toronto) at the Retro Suites Hotel ... I've stayed here a couple times in the past and liked it.
The suites all have themes. This time I was in the Urban Studio. It was a huge room!
There were lots of complimentary amenities including parking, WIFI (it was fairly quick but kicked out sometimes), microwave oven, dishes, mini fridge, breakfast and bottled water.
It's a fun alternative to one of the chain hotels.

This place doesn't belong in Chatham it is too awesome but glad its here... Its one of my favorite places in the city I have had the pleasure of viewing quite a few rooms and would love to try each one out! The prices are fair and its a great little escape even if u live in the city. I put my parents up in the Harley room the sweet sixteen and the queen Elizabeth room are some of my favs.

We were in town for the RetroFest classic car show, so picked the RetroSuites due to its proximity to the show. Each suite has a different theme (we had the Turn of the Century), and the overall layout of the hotel was rather cool. The staff were especially pleasant, and truly seemed to appreciate my business. The rooms are well stocked, and the only real issue was the free wifi (service was spotty at best). In the grand scheme of things, it was probably best that I stayed off the computer so I could enjoy the reason I came to town!

So I've been in lovely Chatham, Ontario for work the better part of these past two weeks. It's a small town (population: 40,000) between Detroit and Toronto which really gets no pub, but hey, whaddaya know, there's a Yelp Canada, and Chatham's actually part of it! So I figure here's a good chance to snag some FTRs.
The preferred (read: only nice) hotel in this town is the Retro Suites, which is located on King Street, the "best" part of Chatham. I was, however, more than impressed. The hotel rate per night is $150-$200 CAD, and if Manny Pacquiao is "pound
