Hotels Near Homer Watson House & Gallery in Kitchener

Me and my partner had a great time, had great amenities!

Great staff - friendly and ready to help out, nice complementary breakfast, good parking! Hotel is old and needs renovation. AC unit was so noisy and wasn’t cooling. Had to change my room - staff was friendly and helpful with this. AC unit in Second room was still noisy - just a tad bit better than the first!

The place is spacious, very clean, nice view on the 18 floor, have all amenities stove , fridge, washer, dryer , gym and swimming pool. The host very friendly and was nice. I will definitely go back again . Also the price is reasonable and affordable, it is like a condominium, not like a hotel. Thank you.

I would highly recommend this hotel. It was perfect for family, couples and business. The staff was amazing! Breakfast was a buffet and was included in cost of stay, food taste and variety excellent!! Pool had a perfect temperature!!

Our check-in and out was easy, very nice staff. We have stayed here previously and had always had an above average experience, this time we found the hotel dirty and rooms not cleaned to other Delta/Marriott standards. We understand that due to the pandemic staffing shortages have occurred, and this may be the case here. The room was a king sized bed, nice shower/bathroom set up. The pool was busy and the hot tub closed, also the gym appeared closed as well, likely due to COVID restrictions. The main issue was the lack of vaccuming, old nail clippings on the floor and dirt visible. The dresser was very dirty inside so we laid the drycleaning bag under our belongings. There was tape on the ceiling, not sure what that was about. We would stay here again, I am not sure I would seek it out as we did before. Very convenient location to restaurants and shopping.

This was a 2 night stay, for 4 female friends, that were attending a local charity event. My husband booked the room, a large suite, on my behalf. I received a confirmation from Hilton, that I had a reservation booked. At check in, I was informed that my husband ( who was out of town and unavailable) had to be contacted, to confirm and approve the reservation. We were not let into the room until he was contacted. Nevermind that the confirmation hard copy, which I had with me, showed my name - I was treated with complete disrespect. The clerk insisted that she speak with my husband, dialed his number in front of me, without even asking my permission to do so (as would be a normal courtesy). I, nor any of my 3 friends who are extensive world wide travellers, have ever been treated so unprofessionally at a hotel before. Now, this was not the only problem we ran into. Briefly, this details what we experienced during the full stay: 1 - the suite had 1 chair, no coffee table or similar ( seating for 3 people in a 6 person suite?) 2- When chairs and tables were requested, we were brought a folding card table and 3 stacking chairs, 3- Room had no extra toilet roll, no tissues in box and no extra, towels for 2 people not 4 4- Garbage receptacle in room was a tiny comparted bin for both recycle and regular, which couldnt have held more than 1 wine bottle per side, 5- Breakfast: first day, real cutlery and plates, second day - paper plates and bamboo cutlery, that proved unusable. Food was terrible - cold potatoes, rubber eggs, yogurt served in a large open bowl, very limited selection. 6- Coffee cups were of a design that, no exaggeration here, could not be pulled apart - we had other guests hold the stack, while we tried to seperate the cups. And to top it, the lids were too small to fit the cups. 7 - As well, I asked to speak to the manager at check in, and was told she was not available. I indicated to the clerk that I did wish to speak with her, when she was available. Never did talk to her. The local management is completely responsible, for all - ill trained staff, hotel supplies, quality of food and rooms. Absolutely would not recommend this hotel, the others in the area are vastly superior.

Do not trust them with your credit card information. Upon check in a $200 deposit is taken which is standard for some properties. After checking out I logged into my online banking and found that my credit card was charged an additional $500 on top of the room rate and deposit. I called the property at 10:30om(when I realized the charge) and was advised that the charge was manager approved and that no notes were on our file. I inquired why I wasn’t called before the charge was applied and no answer could be provided. The next morning at 9am I called the property again and eventually spoke to a duty manager who advised that there was damage to an ottoman. We never used the ottomans in the room. I was basically accused of doing the damage as their staff check the rooms before and after each stay and that there was no damage reported before our stay. I know matter of a fact that we did not use the ottomans in the room during our stay and advised the staff member. I asked her why we were charged without being advised and she advised that the case was still under investigation and that the hall cameras need to be reviewed - why??? The ottoman wasn’t used within the room let alone the hall. But if the situation is still under investigation why charge me an additional $500. We have not been informed of the extent of the damage or the reason the ottoman costs $700. Be very careful at this property. Fully inspect your room and all pieces of furniture so that you aren’t charged and falsely accused as we were.

I was staying here while visiting my daughter. I am a Hilton Honors member and try to stay at an affiliated hotel when I can. The hotel itself is fine- nothing particularly memorable except the staff. The front desk staff are not only very friendly, but they were super helpful and transparent about the fact that 3 tournaments were going to be there when I asked to extend my visit by one night. Because I was staying partly to have a place to work for the day- it was important that I have somewhere reasonable to work. They gave me a room on the first floor, at the end so I’d be away from most of the commotion. It was great. Spacious room, good work space- bed was fine. It’s a bit dated but my room was clean. The breakfast in the a.m. worked for me as I could grab it and go back to work. It was pricey for what you get, but the staff went above and beyond.
