Pros:

We loved that they have balcony to sit on since it was still summer and nice and warm outside. Also the river grill on the water was a very nice touch. The pool was also on the water side but we did not use it

Pros:

Beds are comfortable, good location. Good value for the money

Cons:

The elevator is poorly located in the facility, and a long wait.

Biggest issue is the desk and chair. The desk area is way too high for a working desk. It was very uncomfortable to work at it at night.

We went to the patio restaurant by the pool one day and the service was not good . We sat there for approx 20 mins and the server never did come to our table. He went all around us. We just left

Left us feeling violated,and our worth as vacationers has been taken advantage of by the hotel for the sake of greed.
Pros:

Don't stay here! Homeless people are everywhere. Our vehicle was broke into on our last night. Things stolen. The Homeless are deficating and urinating in the hotel parking lot. Using needles to shoot up on the benches in the courtyard. This use to be our go to place in Peterborough. However, this year we have seen things no one needs to see...let alone on holidays paying alot, l might add. Sadly each year has gotten worse. There is no security, which is just greed on behalf of the hotel itself. Garbage is everywhere. When we filed a police report, the police themselves told us breakins in that parking lot happen at least twice a week. The hotel itself doesn't mention a thing. There is a homeless commune across the street behind the Tim Hortons. It's unsafe especially for a female to walk around. We will not be returning to the Holiday Inn Peterborough Waterfront again. We have had it with this place.
