Galt House Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham

Galt House Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent
"This was such a pleasant surprise. This hotel was extremely well appointed throughout from the lobbies, to the bars and restaurants and especially the rooms. We had a king studio and that was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The bed was so comfortable and cozy. We had a great view of the river. The staff was attentive and friendly. The parking was convenient even though there was a charge but that is the challenge of staying downtown. The Galt was amazing and so convenient to everything we planned to do."

"Breakfast was great and everyone was friendly but I wish the shuttle went earlier in the morning. Everything was nice and clean with a spacious room. Our room didn’t have an actual outside facing window though which kind of sucked but not a big deal!"
