Police say staff at the Bryne Drive hotel asked the "visibly intoxicated" man to leave, but he refused.
"Police were concerned for his well-being and, due to his intoxicated state, arrested him and transported him to Barrie Police Headquarters, where he was lodged and held until sober," the service stated in a release.
Police issued a reminder that public intoxication and disorderly conduct in a hotel that is disruptive can result in the guest's removal. If the guest refuses, charges are possible.
In this case, officers charged the 66-year-old man with failing to leave when directed and public intoxication.
