    Executive Summary:Clean, comfortable, free wifi, though 'dated' furnishings... if you care about that kind of malarkey...

    I quite enjoyed my 5 nights at the Delta Kitchener... but I think my standards of what a good hotel is are skewed a bit by years of backpacking and traveling on a shoestring budget.

    To wit: I'm perplexed by comments in other reviews along the lines of "the bathroom was clean, but the room hadn't been updated in years.... though it too was clean and the bed comfortable."  In my mind, a clean and comfortable bed and bathroom should be the primary feature being graded in hotel reviews... I don't really care if the furnishings looked 'tired'; I'm there to sleep, not learn new cutting edge design techniques.

    Anyway - in addition to fulfilling the basic bed-and-cleanliness needs of a hotel-goer, there was also free wifi and the room I had was pretty big.  All this for a very reasonable price (though I did get a group rate, so there is that...). That's four stars every day of the week in my book!

    The Kitchener Delta is a classic case of bait n' switch. Their web site shows you pictures of their updated lobby, their bar area and their neon-blue swimming pool housed under a brightly lit atrium. All of this is true, but once you get past the lobby your experience goes steadily downward.

    While the bathroom of my room had been remodeled and was clean, the room hadn't been updated in ages. To be fair, the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable, but the finishings like the furniture and the carpets were well worn. The lamp shades are faded yellow and the televisions are older, small tube units.

    Also, my room on the second floor was very, very loud. You can hear the traffic below through the double-paned windows.

    The restaurant in the hotel is pretty run down. Even though their "buffet" breakfast is free, it's well worth paying for something nicer on your own at a local restaurant.

    Don't be fooled by their "fitness center" either. It's a bunch of run down equipment in a basement that smells pretty funky/musty.

    The price was reasonable, but you really do get what you pay for. If you can afford $25-$50 more a night, I'm sure there are better places to stay. I hear the Radisson in Kitchener isn't so bad. Maybe that'll be my next stay/review.

    Its a Delta, comparable to a Holiday Inn in the US. The rooms are nothing to write home about but they do have nice balconies that you can walk out on and overlook the pool.

    The lounge was nice and the staff in the entire hotel were helpful.

    It wasn't my choice to stay here so I'm not sure that I would ever go back with my own money to play with - I'd probably find something nicer in the area.

    This is a review for the restaurant/bar Botanica. It's a very nice place to lounge and the appetizers were good. I would definitely stop in here for a quick bite. The staff were pretty helpful because I don't think they were expecting a huge crowd.
