Holiday Inn Oakville

The Holiday Inn Oakville at Bronte has impressed Real Travelers, earning the Highly Recommended award with a 4.3 out of 5 rating! This beautiful full-service hotel located in Ontario, Canada offers upscale quality hotel service at reasonable prices.

Although the Holiday Inn Oakville is largely considered to be a corporate hotel, many travelers use the hotel for weddings. The hotel even has a special wedding conference center that holds around two hundred people. This beautiful hotel has equally gorgeous grounds, with a long expansive driveway leading to a waterfall fountain. Conveniently located in the Oakville/Hamiliton area, the Holiday Inn is also halfway between Toronto and Niagra Falls. For sightseeing guests, Toronto is only forty minutes away and Niagra Falls, an hour. Additionally, the hotel is just five minutes from Lake Ontario and the Bronte Harbor. These two sights allow travelers the opportunity to walk along the scenic lake and visit the nearby restaurants, coffee houses, and quaint boutique stores.

The Holiday Inn Oakville has played host to the Canadian Golf Open for two years in a row and it is easy to see why. The hotel has outstanding service and many memorable examples of how the staff has gone out of their way to meet guests’ needs. The hotel General Manager, Marcelo Tomazo, tells us of one particular example that stands out. A maintenance employee who had seen a guest having difficulties walking actually constructed a makeshift cane complete with rubber stopper to help aid the guest. Experiences like this are why Real Travelers are raving. One writes of how the hotel had “courteous professional staff, clean and comfortable rooms” and was “a joy to stay [at].”

If you are looking for an “upscale facility at affordable prices”, look no further than the Holiday Inn Oakville at Bronte!
