Top Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Burlington

8/10 Good

"Staff were nice, restaurant was very good. In room 106, hotel shows wear and tear, toilet was extremely low, shower was very slippery, wallpaper and tile need work. Great location, prompt shuttle when we arrived at the airport."

Hotel Champlain Burlington, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, the view of the lake from the " lake view room" was a real view of the lake...beautiful, the staff friendly and pleasant ! Parking was easy and the breakfast was good. Parking in the garage was simple and the hotel was situated well for all we wanted to do in Burlington from downtown strolling and eating to walks by Lake Champlain!"

Sonesta ES Suites Burlington VT

8/10 Good

"Overall, the property was good. Location was good and the cost was reasonable. Lady at the front desk was extremely courteous and helpful, and even took the time to hand write a note for attractions and activities we might enjoy and left it at our door. Breakfast was good nothing fancy but filling. Deserving of the 3 star rating."

Courtyard by Marriott Burlington Williston

8/10 Good

"I don't know why we were given a handicapped room ( I do not think I requested one, if I did, it was by mistake) but anyway the shower in that room floods the bathroom when you use the shower. Also we got to breakfast by 9:05 and there wereno plates and no eggs. We mentioned ti server and she said, if I knew you were coming , I would have saved some. Another family came down and complained and the front desk came back and told the kitchen to make some."
