Weekend at the waterfront

The room was large, clean, and well provisioned with a coffee machine, fridge, and microwave. Bed was excellent and the view was amazing even from the 1st floor (US 2nd for). Bar was lovely with a good selection of beers at similar prices to pubs downtown, restaurant food was amazing.

Bed was comfortable and room was acceptable overall. Location of hotel is very pleasant along the lakeshore. Location makes up for other inconsistencies in our case as we were attending a function within walking distance. Cleanliness lacking Blinds let in light and were dirty Parking was not included. Parking is free of charge in the downtown after 6:00 pm if you want to save 23$.
Stain on rug. In the middle of the room wasn’t very comforting.
A little crusty.

Upon arrival to the hotel, we were greeted by a very nice gentleman at the front desk. He was quick to check us in and help us. The hotel throughout was very clean and quiet. Our room was set with air conditioning that was a perfect temperature, and the room cleanliness was immaculate. Our stay included breakfast as well, which was hot and there were many options for everyone. The surrounding area was very quiet outside and clean as well. Overall, we had an incredible stay for my husband’s birthday and we will definitely be booking again here in the future!

Always enjoy this property as it overlooks Lake Ontario and Burlington skyway bridge. The waterfront promenade is delightful to walk along both during daytime and in the evening. The hotel property has a lovely dining room and patio overlooking the waterfront. The included breakfast is better than most.
