This was our first experience with at the Quality Suites and we were pleasantly surprised. We travelled to Oakville to visit my family over Christmas. We chose to stay here rather than return to the Country Inn in the east end purely based on location (the Quality Suites is literally 5-minutes from my parent’s home in Bronte, right off the QEW and we basically just needed a place to sleep as we were back late and out early each day).
We booked online directly with the hotel for a room with two queen beds for two nights (Dec. 24th & 25th). As a side note, while I've never tried Hotwire, I have yet to find an alternative booking site (e.g., Expedia) that offers better rates than booking with any of the hotels directly... just thought I'd add that. At that time the Quality Suites was ranked #3 in Oakville on Tripadvisor. Breakfast was not included, but we didn’t really care as there is a Tim Horton’s attached to the hotel. Free Wi-Fi was included in the very reasonable $99 (CDN) per night rate (plus taxes) – all-in our bill came to $226 (CDN).
As other reviewers noted, the staff were all very friendly and check-in-check-out was very quick and painless. The hotel has obviously had some upgrades / renovations recently as the décor and furnishings were quite modern. The room itself was very clean although a bit more cramped than the rooms were at the Country Inn. The beds & pillows were both very comfortable and all three of us slept like the dead. The only minor disappointment was the rather dated 26” CRT tv in the room (which we could not mate with our HP netbook) that only had basic cable channels (the Country Inn had an upgraded cable tv package that included Treehouse, which I'm afraid to admit is almost a “must have” when toting a travel-weary 3 year-old).
Again, we really were only in the room to sleep, shower etc., and the Quality Suites more than lived up to our expectations for an affordable, clean, comfortable and friendly hotel located close to where we needed to be. We would certainly stay Quality Suites again when visiting west Oakville.
