Top Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Anchorage Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Done"

Hotel Champlain Burlington, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, easy walk to the lake and bike trails and only a moderate walk to shops. The view of the lake from our room was great, especially sunrise and sunset. The staff were friendly and more than helpful. I would patronize the restaurant and oyster bar even if I wasn’t staying there it was that good. We definitely will be back."
