Review from Laura G.

Don't make me leave!
I refuse to leave my room. This is nearly heaven.
Big, comfortable, extra-long Queen bed with carved wooden headboard? Check!
Large standard room with sitting area, flatscreen TV, well-appointed but not stuffy furnishings? Check!
Gas fireplace that quickly heats the room? Check!!
Spacious bathroom with lots of counter space and a powerful shower head that gushes a warm waterfall? Check!
Free breakfast at the restaurant next door? Check!
Other perks: Good location downtown, parking lots for guests, friendly and accommodating staff, reasonable rates.
Really, don't make me leave. -
Review from Allen P.

The only reason we gave it 3 stars was because we did not get solid sleep due to the noise.
We loved the Waterloo Hotel!!!!!!!! It was "crazy adorable" to quote my chicka. She puts up with me, she truly does. We came up here for a business meeting and I didn't find too much in the way of reviews, so I decided we would wing it. We constantly travel and finding a hotel off the highway normally not an issue.
What up Canada???? We drove up the 401 and could not believe that there was not more than a hotel or two between Windsor & Waterloo. FYI - don't drive too long and get sleepy, you might find yourself snoozing in your car for lack of accommodations en-route.
So we drove around Windsor and found the cuteness that is King st. My chicka was getting annoyed, & finally made me go into the Waterloo hotel and look around. Apparently I had made the mistake so many others have.... I saw reviews for another hotel with a similar name in the area that were not so hot & thought it was this hotel.
I was wrong!
First off the desk clerk could not have been nicer. She was incredibly nice and welcoming.
Our room was the music suite. It was beautiful, and had a gas fireplace which we enjoyed. The decor was beautiful.
The bed was very comfortable, there were nice touches like chocolates on the pillows, free wifi and an in room refrigerator with a couple of bottles of water. The owners also had documented the story of the hotel and press releases in a interesting book on the desk which definitely answered all our questions.
As business travelers we needed a few things. Ironing board and iron - not in the room but the front desk lady (who I wish I remembered her name, because she was awesome!) brought it up to our room
Restaurant recommendation. Again our awesome front desk lady took care of us. She recommended a restaurant and even followed up by calling to make sure it was open because it was the holiday "Family Day".
The con's....
The attached restaurant does not allow a glass or two of wine to leave in order to enjoy the wonderful, romantic room by the fireplace... much to my chicka's annoyance. She thought she was gonna get a romantic moment or two savoring a glass of wine toasting our toes in Victorian elegance. Sorry babe... didn't happen.
Blow dryer... it needs upgrading. Not enough power.
Counter space... my chicka is a beautiful woman but somehow requires loads of product which she managed to squish onto a tiny wicker table in the bathroom. There was a huge mirror on the beautiful antique dresser in the main room, but not enough light.
Game changer....
Holy freaking NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are from downtown Chicago, IL USA 60654... there is honking, EL train, sirens, bar & restaurant, neighbor, dogs, whatever, etc noise constantly.
For us to find something noisy, it is LOUD! First off, the music room is above the attached bar. Not an issue till closing, and the employee's bang and slam everything they can for an hour or so.
Drunk yodelers... this is a collage town... you have been warned.
Random trucks backing up all night, unfortunately they have backup beeping or drunk yodelers would be taken out. Dang.
We would definitely request a room on the other side because we got zero solid sleep after a full day of driving from Chicago to go to a long business meeting & then drive back to Chicago on no sleep.
Other than the noise, we would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. The service and accommodations are excellent.
