My daughter and I stayed at Donald Gordon Hotel while attending the Queens University open house. It was the perfect location. Approximately a 15 minute, walk to the University. Free parking and complementary breakfast was a bonus. The room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The only downside was that the room doors are heavy and slam shut so I could see that troubling light sleepers. Other than that, it was a perfect stay.

We stayed here for 3 nights in early October. Location selected primarily because of location. We would definitely stay again. Quick drive to downtown. Clean, reasonably quiet (except for the heavy footed person that seemed like they were doing laps above us), reasonably priced, and great staff. We didn’t eat there as we were visiting family.

This accomodation compares to the much more expensive hotels along the water, but at a reasonable price, and it includes a full varied buffet breakfast as well, unlike much more expensive hotels. Clean premises and, friendly staff. I had quite a bit of difficulty opening the window, that probably rarely gets opened, but luckily there was also a patio door that opened. It would be a good idea to upgrade the bathroom in the near future, particularly the bathtub/shower. However, everything, was clean and functional. Very comfortable bed!!
