Parking was insufficient and not monitored. The hotel charged a fee to park but couldn’t guaranteed that a spot was available. There were more guests than parking available. The front desk told us to go search for a spot and if there wasn’t one, use an overflow lot off the property but stilled CHARGED. The parking was crazy, cars waiting, then racing to a spot, people trolling waiting for a long time for a spot to open, pedestrians standing in open spots while drivers raced to get the spot, it was nuts and totally lacked order or adequate accommodation for guest. Staff inside didn’t care and offered no help. And of course, they stilled charged for parking. Never seen anything like it.

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.
