Hotel's Favourite
Fantastic hosts! The room is comfortable and very clean. My queen room has a great seating area I was not expecting. This stop has everything you need with a restaurant on site, pool, etc. It is right off the trans-Canada so you don't have to go into town unless you want to. Very convenient. My expectations are officially exceeded. Thanks, BW.

Excellent staff from the front desk to the restaurant. Clean rooms and great beds. The offer of breakfast included with the room was welcome during covid so did not have to eat a meal outside the hotel. In fact the restaurant was really good. Staff explained daily special which we ended up ordering. Recommend this hotel in Dryden.

Dryden BW was great at ensuring Covid-19 safety protocols were followed by staff and guests while still offering restaurant and other services throughout the day. Staff were friendly and helpful but not afraid to enforce safety protocols, ensuring that everyone was safe. The included full breakfast was excellent.
We forgot our pillows and they mailed them to us - great service!
I highly recommend this hotel.

Stayed one night. Room was tiny and cramped but good news is we could park right outside the door. Staff at front desk was not into it that day, no coffee provided in room using covid as an excuse and frankly the room was over priced for what was received. Will not stay here on our return trip

Good service, staff were very friendly and helpful, clean room with mini fridge, coffeemaker, very comfortable bed, quiet sleep. Best part was breakfast at the restaurant was included in the room rate and customers could order any meal on the menu. Tips were not included but still a great deal. Breakfast was hot and delicious. Great way to start off the day.

We stayed in a King bed room. We really liked the sink being separate from the toilet and shower - made getting ready in the morning much quicker. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and we had a great sleep. The room was clean and quiet and we noticed signs in the elevator asking people to respect quiet hours.
We were pleasantly surprised to learn that breakfast was included in our stay (this was not obvious from the booking information online so I didn't think it was included). Breakfast was served in the restaurant attached to the hotel. The staff in the restaurant were friendly and efficient. The food was very good - choices included eggs Benedict, French toast, omelettes and a few other choices. We tried the eggs Bennie and French toast and both were great.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend this Best Western.

Other than no early check in service the experience was great. The bed and pillows were so comfortable would even purchase their brand if known. The dining room had excellent staff who engaged you in conversation and always had a smile on their face. The quality of the food was great and plentiful, was surprised how good the coffee was as it can be hit or miss at hotels.

Breakfast at Best Western in this location is served at B&B roadhouse. Ordered takeout for breakfast and experienced rude service from staff. She wasn’t happy to be there or wanted to serve me. Loud and angry while taking my order. Didn’t follow COVID protocol by not wearing face mask properly (nostrils were exposed). Had my dinner at this restaurant the night before and had a pleasant experience.

Stayed here last week. Our room was great, and very clean. All staff were knowledgeable and courteous and the on site restaurant provided a nice place to dine after a long drive. Breakfast was well beyond expectations, with Eggs Benedict and home fries, and there was a variety of other hot breakfasts on the menu. All in all a very pleasant hotel to stay at and we would certainly go there again for a one or more night stay.

I forgot how much I disliked this hotel until I arrived here. The brochure says “state of the art fitness centre” but I would disagree with that statement. My home gym has better quality equipment and more of it in this tiny room. It is awkward if you have more than two people in here at once. You can only have one person doing weights at a time due to space restraints. There also was no water or water jug at all when I was there. I had to fill up my bottle in the bathroom. There are no windows either and feels like it is a closet. My last visit the elliptical was annoyingly loud with a squeak and I let the front staff know. It was not fixed this visit, so I felt bad for anyone in the room. I tried to switch hotels, but the other larger hotel is under renovations. The picture attached makes it look big but it really isn’t.
The gym/swimming bathroom had garbage all over the counter.
My hotel room was not dusted and there were leaves on the floor.
I wouldn’t want to stay here for longer than a day and unfortunately I’m here for almost a week.

We were on the main floor in a pet friendly room so I do not know if the second story has an elevator. A quick call to the hotel would give you an answer.
lots of space for parking and never been robbed there. stay there lots
The manager of the hotel replied to my initial post and gave a canned apology for my not enjoying my stay there but made no mention of the restaurant issue which I had included in my review.
I believe if you want to use airmiles for payment of a hotel, you have to go through the airmiles website and first see if the hotel is registered in the program and you have use your points through the website first.
If you want to find a Bestwestern in Burlington ON, you have to visit the Bestwestern website to search. Dryden is in NW Ontario, and Burlington is in Southern Ontario.
