The staff was very courteous, check-in was smooth. The TV in the room was old so you cannot mirror from the phone or there was no availability of apps on the TV. Also, the aspect ratio of TV was quite bad.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel room was filthy with chewing gum stuck to the chairs and floor, along with body hair on surfaces. The pool was horrific with body hair all over the pool deck and on the pool chairs. The Hotel is not clean and we did not stay the night due to the uncleanliness of the Hotel. We stayed a 3 hours and left. When we spoke to reception at check-in he was not professional and hardly acknowledge us and our questions about the pool location and wifi. When we spoke to the same receptionist that we were checking out he stated good, and go speak to my manager.

The room was very old and dirty (curtains were torn, desk chair cover was also completely torn, carpet had stains, sink without plug, TV is bad quality and with few channels, bed cover had multiple hairs!! ) it really grossed me out ! Front staff was just ok. Didn’t seem very efficient. Breakfast was fairly decent …. Had hot and cold items.

The staff was kind, Esteban at the front desk was polite and provided good service. The breakfast wasn’t good. The only fruit was bananas and these were not ready to eat. No eggs were available. Burlington is not a destination for winter.
