Top hotels in North Shore
The Suites Hotel at Waterfront Plaza
The staff is always great and the building is so cool! We had two suites and they were perfect! The bigger suite was like an apartment and perfect for us all to hang out in!

Lift Bridge Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel
Room was clean getting a bit dated though. Staff was super nice, breakfast was one of the better hotel breakfasts we've had. Parking lot seemed a little undersized for the hotel. Location is good for food and entertainment.

Canal Park Lodge
Staff was great and the room was good. Bath towels were worn out. The hot breakfast was sub-par. I don't want a staffer dishing out my food. I can get it myself. The eggs were just weird and the hashbrowns were some kind of mushy nightmare. I'll stay there again, but go out for breakfast.
