Hotel Champlain Burlington, Curio Collection by Hilton
My room wasn’t ready at check in, the tub in the bathroom was peeling, and they didn’t come to clean the room until almost 6pm after my first night. The staff was very kind though.

Courtyard Marriott Burlington Harbor
Staff were great. Unfortunately there was a large yellow stain on the wall next to the toilet which detracted from our stay.

AC Hotel Burlington
The room was clean. Staff was nice. A little upset that we paid extra for a lake view to have big buildings in the way of the lake view... Close by things downtown/ within walking distance.
