In Waterloo there is really not that much choice. This property is in the mid range. The rooms are clean, when you first enter, but if you plan on staying the maid service is spotty at best. On the good side, the property is near the highway, and the wireless internet service is very good. Except for a limited self... More

We stayed one night at this hotel while attending a family function. The hotel is situated next to a car dealership on one side and a corn field on the other and across the street from the main mall in Waterloo. It is otherwise a commercial area about a quarter mile from a Rt. 85 exit. (Not a pleasant area... More

We stayed at the Destination Inn during the month of April when the Provincial Volleyball Championships are being played at Rim Park. We were travelling with a group of teenage boys. The front desk staff were fantastic and pleasant to deal with whenever we had questions. The hotel was full of volleyball players and they were very patient. Breakfast was... More

This hotel has an excellent location in Waterloo. Our rooms had an unusual floor plan which puts the TV in an awkward place and the closet beside the exterior window? The breakfast was adequate but there is ample seating. The surprise was at check there was $4.38 item added to the bill under the term Direct Marketing Fee. When I... More

We stayed here last month, in March 2013, for the Special Hockey Tournament in nearby Kitchner, Ontario. They had been exrememly accomodating over the phone regarding room choice and were quite honest as to whether certain rooms were appropriate. We checked in and had to run right out but it was very smooth. Breakfasts were very good (but all carbs... More

A clean nice hotel. Destination inn is close to St. Jacob's market. There is a large mall right across the road - easy to walk to, as long as you don't buy too much. Lots of restaurants in the area. The pool and hot tub were nice. Just a good place to stay. Very quiet at night. We heard no... More

There's nothing wrong with the Destination Inn. You get what you pay for: a clean room, a very low-frills breakfast, a treadmill to run on and a little indoor pool. The rooms are of the dated-standard variety, what you would expect to find anywhere. The internet is a little slow, especially in the evening when everyone is on it (I... More

It is a tradition, we always go to St. Jacobs and Kitchener Kristkindle market to stock up for X-mas. The Destination Inn is a perfect place. Good rooms, nice breakfast and only minuates to St. Jacobs.We find this the best value after having stayed in neighbouring hotels. We do enjoy the uncrowded pool for a swim before breakfast.

I stay at this hotel several times a year, has become my hotel of choice in the Waterloo area. Less than 10 minute drive to universities; rooms are clean and well equipped. Staff make you feel welcome and professionally cared for. Amenities - breakfast, small gym, pool and easy parking. A great choice in a limited market.
