We stayed here for a wedding, and found it a nice, clean place. I would defiantly stay here again and also recommend it to friends, but make sure your room does not over look the patio, it was very loud when we stayed. The noise continued till about 2-2:30am. The breakfast is a nice touch, it's nicer than most hotel free breakfast, but don't expect a fresh cooked omelette. « less

Although we didn't stay in the hotel, I wanted to review the fantastic 2-day meeting experience we had at this facility. My husband and I participate in a lot of meetings and workshops at many different hotels around North America, and we both agree that this was one of the best we have experienced in terms of the facility and service (We did not stay at the hotel, but some of our workshop attendees did, and they were very pleased).
When we arrived, the meeting room was set up perfectly. There was a staff person available to help with anything we needed as we set up, and she made certain that we knew how to contact her throughout the day if we needed anything else. She told us the gentleman's name who would be replacing her when she left at the end of her shift, and advised that she would pass on any special requests to him when he arrived.
The food was excellent, and although we had selected the same package from the banquet menu (because our group was small - 8 people, we opted for a simple working lunch buffet) for both days, there were slight variations in our lunch the second day, to keep it interesting for our attendees. It is a true sign of customer service when a facility anticipates what would make the customer happy.
Also, one of our workshop attendees had dietary restrictions which we did not pass on to the facility until the last minute. He was thrilled with the special meals (and attention) he got, and remarked that he had never before been given such special consideration at a public function.
We had two banquet staff members assigned to look after us - one in the morning, and one in the afternoon, and they deserve special mention. They both treated us like guests rather than customers (the highest form of compliment, in my books!). It’s hard to articulate what that means, but they were always there when we needed them, always smiling, and willing to do or find whatever we needed. I know there were others behind the scenes making everything run smoothly, but the two of them made our weekend!
We were certainly proud to host such a successful event, and we look forward to running other events at the Waterfront. « less

While visiting family in Burlington we stayed at the Waterfront for a week in October 2012 and ten days in April 2013. During both visits we were impressed by the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff and General Manager. On our last visit, arriving late and tired after a long flight, the night manager, Jordan, paid a visit as we were unpacking to make sure we were satisfied with our room and its location – very thoughtful. Breakfast, included in room rate, is good with a variety of choice. The hotel restaurant serves good food and drink at a reasonable price; service is good. The pool, hot tub and workout room are clean and well maintained. The hotel is well located for access to the Waterfront Trail, restaurants, the liquor store, shops… We'll be back. « less

We booked a night here because we did not want to drive home after a celebratory dinner. It was very satisfactory, although by no means luxurious. It had been a Travelodge, but the new owners have made impressive efforts to upgrade it. Staff were exceptionally friendly, the rooms were a good size, clean and with free wi-fi, Our room had a view over the lake.
The hot breakfast buffet was complimentary - a nice added touch and the rates were reasonable. In fact they reduced our rate from the one we booked without us asking - another nice touch.
This is really only a three star place but I bumped them up one for effort and exceptional friendliness. « less
