Would Recommend!
This place was great for what we needed! My daughter and I stayed here as an in-between Buffalo and Toronto stop for the Taylor Swift concert. Hotels in Toronto were way too expensive at that time, so we opted to stay here and take the GO train into Toronto. We stayed two nights. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful when we needed it. Our room was very clean and the area is very quiet. Cute little complimentary breakfast with the breakfast basics - perfect selection if you’re not a huge breakfast person (which I’m not lol) It’s close to a lot of stores, restaurants, and the Burlington GO station.

There was nothing appealing about this place. It was no where close to any amenities and as it was off the highway, it was horrific getting anywhere during rush hour traffic. No staffing after 9 PM. The entire facility was; -outdated -extremely inconvenient location -furnishings were shoddy and cheap -renovations and repairs looked like they were done in haste and with the cheapest materials -refrigerator did not work properly -AC made an irritating noise The photos the website is a complete misrepresentation of what guests will actually see when they arrive. Definitely not worth the price. Definitely will not recommend this place.
