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.

It was probably my fifth time staying here and I’ve always felt safe and always loved my stay. However, the room I stayed in this time has some improvements to do in terms of cleanliness.

The location right next to Lake Ontario is excellent and is probably the best thing about this hotel. Also very close to shops and restaurants around downtown Burlington. The rooms look like they're in need of an upgrade (stained carpets, a chair with peeling upholstery, cracked toilet bowl). The walls were not particularly sound-proof and unfortunately, we were woken up in the middle of the night by noise coming from the room next to us. The receptionists that we came in contact with were not particularly warm, but everyone was respectful. We checked out a day early.
