I'm from Oakville, but have lived in Ottawa now for the past 10 years so we often travel back to visit family and friends and need a place to stay. In the past it was just the wife and me, so we didn’t really care to much about the hotel we stayed in so long as it was cheap. That’s changed now that we’re older and have a 3 year old daughter. We've since stayed at several Hilton Garden Inn's which we have enjoyed, but for this trip we couldn't find one for less that $150 per night at the Oakville or Burlington locations. So all things considered - and given the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor (which have never led me astray) - we decided to book this hotel.
This was our first experience with at the Country Inn and we were very pleased. We booked online directly with the hotel for a room with two queen beds for two nights over the Thanksgiving weekend. At that time the Country Inn Oakville was ranked #2 in Oakville on Tripadvisor. Breakfast was included as well as free wi-fi (which I’m afraid to admit is now a must for us on any trip!) for $110 (CDN) per night plus taxes (which was very reasonable). As other reviewers noted, the staff were all very friendly and check-in-check-out was a breeze (we greatly appreciated this after the 6+ hour drive from Ottawa!). The room itself was very clean and large (which was great for the little-one), quiet and the a/c worked like a charm (it hit 30 C on Thanksgiving weekend, so we were very happy about that!). There was a 32” LG flatscreen in the room as well which we easily hooked-up to our HP netbook. Breakfasts were much better than I had anticipated with hot food (bacon, eggsm French toast), a Belgian waffle maker, cereals, breads, yogurts, good coffee and an assortment of juices etc.
While we didn’t spend much time in the hotel room other than to sleep and eat breakfast, I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an affordable stay at a pleasant and clean hotel in Oakville. Our bill came to $250 and change (incl. tax) for two nights – you just can’t beat that! The Country Inn Oakville exceeded our expectations in every respect!
