I am just returned from a three night stay at Holiday Inn Oakville (Ontario, Canada) for a…read morecombination of a little work and vacation. While my time in that area was most enjoyable and even at times, spectacular, in truth this accommodation was the least memorable part of the trip, and perhaps that is a good thing. The facility is right off the Queen Elizabeth Way, making it convenient and potentially, noisy. Luckily, I had a room with inside balcony, making for a quiet time. I overlooked the indoor pool which was not overly utilized, so it worked well for me. Beds were comfy, bathroom renovated, and room maintenance minimal by the staff. I had a ton of privacy. Only knock was the slow shower drain, which necessitated quick showers to avoid overflow. No biggie, but obvious that no one checks these things on a regular basis. The location was minutes from downtown Oakville, which turned out to be a blessing. My first time there, I was impressed by how well the town was planned out. Beautiful main streets, lovely nearby neighborhoods that I could see myself living in. Restaurants galore, with every ethnicity represented. My favorite meal was only 6 minutes from the front door. Made reservations through Trivago and Booking.com. Easy peasy, and priced very competitively. I would definitely stay there again if I had reason to return to Oakville, 50 km west of downtown Toronto.

This is a decent hotel option near the GO station in Oakville. I have used this hotel a couple of…read moretimes when hotel prices in central Toronto have spiked, as they occasionally do during peak times. This hotel is much more moderate in cost and the proximity to the GO Train allows easy access to downtown. Also, as an IHG Spire member, I am predisposed to seek out properties in this hotel family. Arriving at Pearson, I took a taxi from there to the hotel. The cost was $58 CAD flat rate plus tip. On my last stay, I had a room on the 6th floor. This worked well for me and afforded a nice view of the area. My room was clean and spacious with a pleasant decor. The bathroom was functional with an adequate amount of space. The TV offered a decent array of programming. The work area was good size and the WiFi functioned without any major issues. The bed was comfortable and the environs were quiet allowing me to get good sleep. There was a restaurant in the hotel offering an option for breakfast. I took advantage of this one morning and it was so-so. However, there were also two or three places within walking distance of the hotel. We went to Whole Foods one morning and Sunset Grill on another. The room rates were not bad for the quality of the stay and the location. The average daily rate was about $146 CAD. My total bill was just over $501 CAD for three nights with all taxes included. This was a pretty good deal. As such, I would not hesitate to recommend this place if you need a hotel in Oakville for business in Oakville or Mississauga or if you need an alternative to a downtown hotel.

The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. There was plenty of parking onsite. Our room was clean which is the most important part to us. I was slightly disappointed that there were only two drawers but we managed out of our suitcases. We did use the pool one day (which we had to ourselves). It was an okay temperature- not warm/not freezing. The pool area was very clean and they provided towels. They did have a gym next to the pool that we just used to fill our water bottles. They didn't have a free breakfast, but you could order breakfast from the bar area. I did order Starbucks a couple days from the bar. The hotel was in a great location for us for what we were in town for. I imagine it would be great for others since it was attached to a convention center. The hotel was extremely reasonable in pricing. If in town, I would stay here again!

We had come here for the Mother's Day Brunch on a Sunday afternoon at 1:00 pm. We were pleasantly…read moresurprised at how delicious everything tasted, along with the large amount of food that was available. Since it was a brunch, there were many different types of salads, a cold cut and cheese platter, desserts, waffles, fresh eggs (made by a chef on site), bacon, and a whole lot more! All of the items were well-prepared, and tasted fresh. All of us were beyond stuffed, as we had eaten more then our fair share. Drinks were also included in the price; which was a bonus. In terms of the atmosphere, it was quite busy considering that it was a pre-booked event however, it was manageable, as all of the guests lined-up accordingly when reaching the buffet. The restaurant itself was very clean and inviting, with nice décor on the tables and walls; we were also invited to take home the rose that was placed on the table after we had finished. Service was also top-notch, as the servers came by our table often to take away the plates that we had finished using. Would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for all of your fine-dining needs!

They also do a pre show dinner that we did not try this time....but will keep in mind for future shows. Our show let out first so it wasn't crowded but once the other theatre let out, it became busier. No problem getting a table for dessert but the manager suggested reserving for pre-show dinners as they often get booked up in advance.

It's a nice tropical theme and inside the mall next to the Metro entrance. We booked a simulator experience here and then played a quick round of billiards too. Billiards are free for guests. The rate for the simulator varies based on time of day check their online booking system. Weekday before noon seems to be around the cheapest rates. Apparently they book out a week in advance especially for the cheap rates, so better to book early. The staff there was super helpful in getting us started up. We were even able to set it up as best ball between the both of us for more even play since my partner is way better than me at golf. We would've ordered food but that's not available in the morning only in the weekends and I think evenings. The same owner also owns the storefront next door displaying their workout equipment in case you're interested it testing it out and seeing for yourself before purchasing.

It was on the same level as many hotel I have been to - The rooms are very clean and had a comfortable vibe to it. All outlets and lights were working which was great! - The area is not too bad depending on what you want to do. Around a 30 minute walk to the Burlington shopping mall in one direction, a 30 minute walk to an assortment of stores and residential areas in the other. - Hotel stay comes with free breakfast and parking (They even have charging stations for hybrids / electric vehicles) Cons: - The breakfast was very basic: eggs, fruits, toast / pancakes, cereal and yogurt. The only issue was that on the 3rd day, the breakfast area smelled terrible! - Not many things to do at the hotel. They only have a fitness room and a breakfast area (closes at 10am). - The back entrance and stair area can be shady. The outside door is not locked so anyone could come in to the hotel.
