Pelee Days Inn, Leamington, Ontario, Canada

We have decided to keep the Feast of Tabernacles at the Pelee Days Inn and Conference Centre. This location has the added benefit of improved social interaction by having a huge atrium in the middle for all to sit, play and fellowship together.

The Days Inn is situated south of the City with green space around it and a golf course across the street for a complete country feel and is the areas best hotel. The enclosed courtyard is a great place to meet, eat and have fellowship or fun together. Here you'll enjoy the heated indoor pool, gazebo, kids playpark and whirlpool hot tubs. It also includes badminton, ping pong, and table tennis areas. The meeting facility is tiered to make every seat a great one.

Area Attractions

The area is known for its natural appeal with Point Pelee National Park just a couple of miles away. The Lake Erie shoreline can be experienced by taking a short five minute walk south. There are go karts, golf and bowling close by but more special to the area is Wineries, Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary, Hillman Marsh, and Colasantis Tropical Gardens where every age will have a great time and leave with a smile on their face.

Accommodations

The Days Inn has newly renovated contemporary guest rooms featuring two queen size beds that surround the atrium. The atrium is an ideal place for evening socializing and yet these rooms are very quiet for sleeping at night. For those who want a quieter experience you can ask for a room with an outside balcony and distance yourself from the atrium. All rooms around the atrium will have a mini fridge included.

Amenities

Singles, couples, and families can unwind within the relaxed atmosphere and enjoy as much or as little activity as they choose. Families can spend time together or separately with the indoor pool, whirlpools, children play centre, video arcade, and family friendly activities. For those who have children or are children at heart there is an on site Water Park with Water slides and the like but this option costs more. The Days Inn has a restaurant on sight and there are a number of other restaurants in town. For more information, please check out there website at www.peleedaysinn.com.
