Top Great Lakes Hotel Reviews
Vittoria Hotel and Suites
"Our stay was wonderful. The room was clean, well stocked with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Surprisingly with so many guests that it actually very quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful and accommodating. The pool was busy during the usual hours but later in the evening, very nice. The breakfast was good. We choose to purchase in advance. Great selection to choose from but got a bit crowded as the serving area is small. That being said, we were able to order other items with no problems. Staff super friendly and helpful. The only concern I had was parking. If a patron arrives later than others, they either pay for off-site parking not involved with the hotel or off-site parking that the hotel has in a lot several streets down. I had stayed 2 days and the 2nd day, I found a spot in their lot at the hotel, parked and was informed I could not stay as I had the off-street parking pass. I could have upgraded for 5.00 during the day had I known that. All in all the hotel is a very good choice and especially in the main hub of the area."
Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto
"I wish the hotel had told me that there was a strike going on with the security staff. I would have booked another hotel and gone to this hotel after the strike. It took over one and a half hours to get back into the hotel because the picket lines were stopping us from entering the property. After an evening out sitting on Derry road in the car for this time was not acceptable. I understand that unions can picket but if I had known about the strike I would have used another hotel."
Hilton Chicago
"The hotel was exceptionally beautifully and the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were there for the BTS concert and the hotel went out of their way to make the space welcoming to Army (fans) by setting up a designated spot for photo ops and meet ups! They also played BTS music in the lobby to help foster a fun and exciting atmosphere. Besides the electric atmosphere, the hotel itself was comfortable with many amenities available. The rooms were spacious clean. It was centrally located and we were walking distance to many restaurants and tourist sites. It was my first time in Chicago and when I go back for a visit, the Hilton Chicago will be my first choice for accommodations"
Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview Hotel & Suites
"Room was renovated, clean rugs and washroom was spotless."
Toronto Don Valley Hotel and Suites
"Second time staying at this Hotel ! Good experience we had !"
Hyatt Regency Chicago
"My room was clean, the floor was quiet which means the soundproofing was good. The elevators were surprisingly fast given they have 34 floors. Staff were friendly and helpful. I felt prepared for my trip for that day."
The Chicago Hotel Collection Ambassador Gold Coast
"Staff were amazing! Extremely helpful and accommodating, let us check in about 5 hours early. Definitely recommend"
Sheraton Fallsview Hotel
"Sheraton will always be my favourite hotel in Niagara! Thank you for the hospitality and the amazing staff and service."
Kasa Magnificent Mile Chicago
"Check in can be slightly confusing however you get the hang of it quickly. It was close to many amenities, a train away or a longer walk. The loft was cleaning than most however there was still dust and some crumbs left behind. Over all we were pleased with our stay even though very pricey for 3 nights"
