Top Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Green Mountain Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very nice and clean place to stay. The lobby is really nice. The fireside happy hour and complimentary breakfast were very good and enjoyable."

Sonesta ES Suites Burlington VT

8/10 Good

"The room was very spacious and comfortable but it needed some attention. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. The room was reasonably clean. There was a ton of storage throughout the suite - multiple closets. The bathroom sink did not drain at all so we had to brush our teeth in the kitchen. The shower curtain rod was falling off the wall so the curtain did not hang correctly and the shower remained half open while using it. There was paint spatter here and there that was not consequential but the place just did not look well kept. The breakfast was ok, but very sparse and not sufficient for the amount of guests at the property. The coffee, pancake mix, and yogurt bowl were continuously empty. None of them were large enough to reasonably last more than a few minutes. There was only one coffee carafe and many guests so it was not set up to serve the number of people staying there. One morning we left the breakfast and came back later as pretty much everything was empty and the lone staff member was not readily replenishing the supply."

DoubleTree by Hilton Burlington Vermont

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly, courteous and helpful. The room was clean and well equipped. The king bed was very comfortable. Buffet breakfast was plentiful and quite delicious. Again, service was fast, friendly and courteous. We quite enjoyed our stay and would recommend it other travelers."

Spark by Hilton Essex Junction Burlington

10/10 Excellent

"We decided to go to the Vermont Reneissance Fair this year and stayed at Spark. What a great place. Very updated,continental breakfas in the morning was perfect,and the room was quite large. We really enjoyed the lackk of carpeting in the room. The vinyl plank flooring was refreshing to see. I woul recommend a stay here if you are in the area."

Holiday Inn Express South Burlington Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very close to the island line bike trail ( excellent) the breakfast was absolutely fantastic, the rooms were very clean and quiet surroundings. The bed was comfortable and the room was equipped with everything we needed very happy with our stay."
