Top ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center Hotel Reviews

Green Mountain Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"I would love to give this hotel 5 stars but unfortunately I can only give 4. The good: it’s a lovely hotel with spacious suites. It’s also fairly cheap to take a Lyft or Uber to downtown. The bad: hard bed, lackluster water pressure in the shower, a middle of the road breakfast, and parking across the street."

New Modern Studio- Hop Skip & Jump to Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"A great stay for those that love all things walkable. Right by Lake Champlain, it's easy to find, convenient parking and easy to check in and out of. An amazing find!"

Burlington Walkabout Peaceful City Retreat-Walk to EVERYTHING downtown.

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in downtown. A little tough on the rules, but understand we are guests and need to follow the requests of the owners. Just make sure you are aware of the floor levels when going from room to room. Folks that shuffle May stub a toe. Overall a great place for2 to stay and enjoy Burlington. Very easy to get around either walking or driving."

Cozy- 2-Bedroom clean and Quiet- Maple St. Walk anywhere

10/10 Excellent

"This apartment is exactly as advertised! Cute, cozy, clean and well appointed. Had everything my husband and I needed for our trip to VT! Safe area and super close to walk to Church St. We’ll definitely be back!"

The Loft at Park House · 3BR Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Good location within walking distance of Church Street Marketplace, ECHO center, and the Burlington bike path. Also an easy drive to/from the airport. Very clean apartment with everything we needed. Also of note, we both commented that we thought the mattresses here were really comfortable. Not much of a lake view from the house, but it is a quick and easy walk to the marina and the path. Rolf gave us good suggestions for trails and hikes to check out, but we didn’t get a chance to do them since we were just in town for a quick two night stay with a 12-month old. We really appreciated having a pack n play and baby booster seat to use. We did have to buy a baby gate to keep our very busy baby away from the stairs at the entrance, but that wasn’t a big deal. We left the baby gate behind in hopes other parents staying here might find it useful. Overall a great stay and we would definitely stay here again if we ever go back to Burlington!"

Garden Side at Park House · 2BR Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Close walking proximity to restaurants and brewery. We loved the access to the bike trail. Unit was clean and well equipped for our needs. Beds were super comfortable. Was pleased to have coffee and tea furnished. One aspect of the property that renters should be aware of is the very steep incline between the street and the driveway. We had a standard 4-door sedan, and scraped a couple of times despite best efforts to angle in and out."

"Convenient location for walking to waterfront and Church St Marketplace."
