Delta Barrington Review

Convenience and location are the reasons to consider booking into the Delta Barrington, located just 1 block from both the waterfront and the Grand Parade -- and connected to the Metro Centre and much of the rest of downtown by a covered walkway. It's a large modern hotel, yes, but was designed and furnished with an eye more to comfort than flash. Guest rooms are decorated in a contemporary country decor, with pine headboards and country-style reproduction furniture. The king rooms are spacious, furnished with sofas and easy chairs. Some rooms face the pedestrian plaza and have been soundproofed to block out the noise from below, though the downside is that these windows don't open. (Most other rooms in the hotel have windows that do open.) Thus the quietest rooms face the courtyard, but lack a view. The hotel restaurant, the Stone Street Café, serves an attractive upscale menu that's mostly constructed of fish and lobster prepared various upscale ways, but you can also order rack of lamb, pappardelle, beef tenderloin, and the like. Also ask about the hotel's affordable "Seafood Festival" dinner specials.

Facilities:
Restaurant; babysitting; children's programs; concierge; Jacuzzi; indoor pool; room service; sauna

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
