Stayed at the Bonaventure for one night, 10/13/07. Booked it after reading the decent reviews on here, esp. given the price was so much lower than everyone else. No major complaints.

PROS:
~ Room was reasonably clean - no complaints, but I didn't do a 'white glove' test, either. Nothing stood out - let's put it that way.
~ Had an indoor pool (warm) and hot tub (moderately hot), and both were reasonably clean. It also has an outdoor pool, but that was obviously closed for the season.
~ Staff was nice and also helpful.
~ Price was significantly cheaper than everyone else. $80 (which included the taxes) on a AAA rate for a Saturday evening, compared to about $120 anywhere else.
~ Multiple restaurants in the area, including the 'Donut Diner' that had a nice $3.29 breakfast w/eggs, bacon, home fries, and coffee.

CONS:
~ It's pretty far from the Falls, Clifton Hill & casinos. I cannot even fathom walking that far. It sits about a block west of the QEW right on Lundy's Lane, so that tells you that it's pretty far.
~ Pool was fairly deep, no matter what part of it you were in. My 8yo was not able to stand up in it anywhere.
~ There were some minor inconveniences about my room in particular (#208). Two lamps were missing their on/off knobs, the fan didn't work in the bathroom, and the TV clicker didn't work. Again, nothing worth getting worked up over.
~ I didn't see a computer for guests to use, but I didn't ask either.

TIP:
If you are going in the winter, and wish to use the indoor pool, I strongly recommend getting a room with an 'interior corridor'. Otherwise, you will have to walk outside to get to the indoor pool (brrr).

Other than that, nothing stood out. It was basically a fairly average hotel, but it had a nice indoor pool and was much easier on the pocketbook than similar hotels.

It is a great hotel if your are not looking for a five star hotel. The staff are really nice and Friendly. The hotel has a indoor pool and a outdoor pool.(outdoor seasonal) The rooms are a good size. There is a little restaurant in the hotel but it is seasonal. This hotel is good if you can drive or like to take taxi's.

This hotel is one of the cleanest hotels I have ever seen. The room was immaculate and the staff was super friendly, especially Helga at the front desk and the ladt who asked to refresh our towels!! I would recommend to everyone to stay here. The room was inexpensive compared to the other hotels that are more dirty and disgusting. I am gonna book there again when I go back!!!

We are a family of three, 38, 36 and a 11 years old boy. English is not our native language, but we will do our best to write this review.

We were visiting The Falls for the first time and needed to stay on an affordable hotel that met our budget. We selected this hotel based on reviews found in this page and we want to share our own experience. You will have two different points of view in this review: my wife’s and mine.

1- My wife is a picky kind of person, speaking of hotels and she was disappointed with our selection. It was Okay to me.
2- The most important thing for any traveler is the bed´s comfort. My wife: She said that matresses are old, and in terrible shape. Bed clothing was clean. Mine: I found the beds a little old, but I returned at night tired and didn't mind at all. My wife: Carpets showed some stains and she disliked them. Mine: I have to agree with her on this.
3- The furniture of the room is good, but also a little bit old. The room had two sinks, one inside the bathroom and one outside. We found this very convenient. But there was no closet in the room, only a "rack" to hang our clothes.
4- The air conditioning was fine. Nothing spectacular but it did the job.
5- The shower pressure and temperature were perfect. Bathroom was very clean and had an excelent adequacy of supplies.
6- The lightning of the room was insufficient, we had to turn the lights on during the day.
7- My wife noticed a funny/disgusting smell in the room, like a cheap cleansing product. I didn't notice, or I should say, didn't mind.
8- Hotel claims on their website to have internet access in the rooms, but this is not true. It can only be accessed on the hotel's lobby. Free parking is included. We arrived late at night and always found a place to park.
9- Hotel has its own restaurant, but we never give it a try. There are a lot of places on Lundy's Lane to eat.
10- TIP: Front Desk informed us at check-out time and after my complain that they are changing matresses (not confirmed by us). Make sure to ask for a room with new matresses.

We could have stayed at Clifton Hill (closer to The Falls) but it was more expensive and we were trying to avoid crowds and Cliftoh Hill's wild nightlife. Travelodge Bonaventure's location is quieter and if you have a car, it's easy to go to The Falls (which are five minutes away).
