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.

There was a bug in the washroom, and those come from mold. Hotel was amazing a few years back and declined with quality over time. Shower heads old and tv too.

Treea blocked my view of rhe lake, even tho it said waterfront view. Besides that it was okay overall. Shopping, entertainment and dinning is easy.

Good location, easy to get to it, convenient, pet friendly, we stayed on the lower level, we thought the room could use better lighting as it was rather dark even with the lights on but overall it is a good hotel
