Surely the Crowne Plaza would qualify?

It fails the "nice" part of my statement. I of course haven't stayed there personally, but reviews from coworkers have been consistently negative, even getting described as "feels like a university dorm". The Delta in uptown has been the alternative, though some deal with the hassle of booking at the Walper outside the corporate system.

I stayed at the Walper when I was visiting KW before moving (2007), it was kind of old and tired back then. Probably better after the reno.

I think the Delta in Waterloo is probably the nicest hotel around, though it does require either a long-ish walk or an LRT ride to get to downtown Kitchener.

Haven't stayed at the Crowne Plaza, can't say.
