Top University of Waterloo Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Waterloo St. Jacobs

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great stay. We arrived early for a wedding and were allowed into our room with no issue. Desk staff friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. Staff throughout the hotel greeted us whenever we saw them. Beds are comfortable, shower was good, lots of hot water. Keurig with 2 pods in the room was good, though we prefer being able to go to the lobby for a cup of coffee whenever we want. When we all came back from the wedding, the hotel staff were great, letting us have a bit of a meeting to talk and review in the lobby and front of the hotel. I would happily return!"
