Sudbury Hotels With an Indoor Pool, Compared

The indoor saltwater pool at the Hilton Garden Inn Sudbury is the main attraction for children, and the rest covers family essentials well. Rooms have a refrigerator, a microwave and a tea and coffee maker, and the restaurant serves American dishes with vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices. An outdoor fireplace on the terrace gives parents somewhere to sit in the evening. Pets are accepted, and guests rate it 8.9 from 305 reviews.

An outdoor play area and barbecue facilities make the Homewood Suites by Hilton Sudbury unusually family-minded, and the indoor swimming pool covers colder days. Family rooms are air-conditioned with kitchen facilities, so simple meals are easy, and a daily buffet breakfast includes child-friendly options. There is a fitness centre and a 24-hour front desk. Guests rate it 8.7 from 144 reviews, a solid score for a Sudbury stay.

Family rooms with kitchenettes and an indoor pool with a hot tub make the TownePlace Suites Sudbury a practical choice with children, especially for a stay of several nights. The garden and sun terrace give outdoor space in good weather, the coffee shop helps in the morning, and parking is free. Pets are accepted. With an 8.6 rating from 152 reviews, I would rate it among the easier family bases in Sudbury.

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Sudbury is an easy pick for families: the indoor swimming pool and hot tub fill the evenings, and complimentary bicycles add an outdoor option on fine days. Family rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi, and there is a fitness centre. Science North, the hands-on science centre children enjoy, is nearby, as is Greater Sudbury Airport. With an 8.6 score from 277 reviews, it is a dependable base.

Hampton Inn Sudbury offers family rooms with a sofa bed, so everyone fits without booking two rooms. The indoor pool keeps children busy, and a complimentary buffet breakfast covers the morning. Rooms are air-conditioned with a work desk, parking is free and private, and pets are accepted. I would book it for families exploring the Greater Sudbury area by car who want space, a pool and breakfast included in one well-rated stay.

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Sudbury is 6 km from Science North, an easy family outing, and back at the hotel the indoor pool and hot tub fill the evening. A hot and cold breakfast is included each morning, and rooms have a flat-screen HDTV, a coffee maker, a microwave and a fridge. There is a fitness room, WiFi is free, and pets are welcome. Guests rate it 8.0 from 473 reviews.

Holiday Inn Sudbury sits downtown and is listed as family-friendly, with an indoor pool that gives children something to look forward to after a day out. Rooms are non-smoking and include a mini-fridge and tea and coffee facilities, handy for milk and snacks. A fitness centre is on site for parents. I would choose it for families who want a central, straightforward base in Sudbury, while keeping expectations in line with its 7.4 rating.

Families visiting Science North and Dynamic Earth will find the basics here: an indoor pool for the evening and an on-site restaurant that saves a drive at dinner. Rooms include free WiFi, cable TV, a work desk and a coffee maker, and pets are welcome. The hotel is a short drive from downtown Sudbury rather than in it. The 7.1 rating from more than 900 reviews is modest, so expect a functional stay rather than polish.

Set in central Sudbury, the Radisson gives families an indoor pool for evenings after Science North or Dynamic Earth, the city's two big science attractions. The Italian restaurant on site keeps dinner easy, with pasta that most children will eat. An airport shuttle helps families flying in, and shopping is close by for forgotten essentials. The hotel is pet-friendly. With a 7.1 rating, expect dated rooms in places, but the location and pool cover what families need most.

I would suggest the Clarion Hotel Sudbury to families planning a science-themed visit: it is near Science North, a favourite with children, and the Art Gallery of Sudbury. The indoor pool gives everyone an evening break, and the sauna and fitness centre suit parents. Rooms are air-conditioned with city views and private bathrooms. The restaurant on site covers dinner, and pets are accepted. The airport is easy to reach for arrivals.
