- CCalvin Scott16/08/2024Inn by the Bay: Perfect Wedding VenueInn by the Bay: Perfect Wedding VenueThe Inn by the Bay was a great experience. In Owen Sound for a wedding, and stayed with the wedding party over the weekend. I very much liked the speedy and accommodating check-in service, the excellent restaurant service, as well as the clean and spacious rooms and comfy beds. A special shout-out to the hotel manager for his assistance with a special booking request - it made all the difference. Overall, a very good value and a pleasant two-day stay.The Inn by the Bay was a great experience. In Owen Sound for a wedding, and stayed with the wedding party over the weekend.
