Lovely lake hotel

The beds were comfortable, the window opened, we had a nice lake view. The bathroom was spacious. The hotel was full, but we were not bothered by noise.

The Burlington waterfront is a beautiful collection of ice cream shops and restaurants. The waterfront hotel is a great place to stay to experience this gem of a town. The restaurant in the hotel is excellent and has a great view of the waterfront and the Burlington skyway.

I discovered that the deadbolt on my door was broken on my first night. I called the front desk to ask for another room, and they said they’d send someone the following morning to fix it. Sadly, they were unable to move me since the hotel was fully booked and said there was nothing else they could do. I was gone for most of my second day for business and returned to my room at 9pm to find that the lock still wasn’t fixed. No apologies or explanation. I didn’t sleep well either night, and felt unsafe. I’m utterly disappointed and do not recommend the Waterfront Hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Burlington, Ontario.

Internet unusable for a business person - too slow and could not even do a speed test - had to sink my iPhone for internet. TV reception very poor quality. Desk chair looked like it came from a farm auction. Staff very friendly but useless to help as they know nothing. I would not recommend this hotel.
