Courtyard by Marriott Burlington

The kids loved the pool. The pool area was warm while the water was cool, which made it enjoyable and helped the kids feel comfortable jumping right in. We were also right next to the Burlington Convention Centre, where our party was, which was incredibly convenient with children. The family lunch at the bistro was great too: the burger was juicy, and the French fries were to die for. For cleanliness and service, I’d give the leisure stay 10/10. Anita left a card with her name and checked in on checkout day to ask if we needed anything else, like extra towels. That personal touch meant a lot. Ms. Kim at the Front Desk was pleasant, kind, and accommodating, and took time to make sure the kids were happy and comfortable. Highly recommended!

The room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the staff were super great. The restaurant food is tasty and well priced, so there’s no need to leave. But the pool was closed, and that’s a must-have for us at a hotel. Neither fridge actually got cold, so we couldn’t store food for breakfast or lunch. Disappointing. Still, it’s always a good stay.

This place feels like a hidden gem, with nicely updated rooms, exceptional staff and service, a great location, and free parking. I did miss having a breakfast buffet, but if that’s not important to you, I think it’s the best value place to stay in the GTA.

There was plenty of hot water, and it was the first time since covid that I’ve stayed in a hotel room serviced daily. The Bistro offers a wide range of meals, and everything I tried had excellent flavor.
