Recent Reviews in Waterfront

Hotel Champlain Burlington, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful and within walking distance of the things we wanted to do. The hotel was very quiet. We loved it here"

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."
