Travelodge by Wyndham Richmond Hill
A reliable Vaughan base for a slides-heavy trip
About this hotel
Travelodge by Wyndham Richmond Hill sits in the Richmond Hill stretch of the hotel corridor that most Splash Works visitors use as a base for a trip to Canada's Wonderland's outdoor water park. It sits within the broader Richmond Hill hotel cluster that most Splash Works families use as a base, a short drive rather than a long haul from the park gates. There is no confirmed hotel pool here, so this property leans on its other amenities rather than a backup swim for the days the outdoor water park is closed. Younger kids get the most use out of the hotel's own pool as a second, lower-key water session, while older kids and teens mostly treat the room as a base between park visits. What ultimately sets Travelodge by Wyndham Richmond Hill apart in this cluster is less any single amenity than the combination of free breakfast, free parking under one practical, mid-range roof.
- Free breakfast
- Free parking
- Pet-friendly
Our take
Travelodge by Wyndham Richmond Hill suits families travelling with a dog and anyone wanting an early, fed start before the park queues build, given its position in the Richmond Hill cluster and its 2-star tier. It is not the pick for a family chasing a full resort spa experience, since the amenities here stay practical rather than aspirational. For a family whose main spend and energy is going toward Canada's Wonderland itself rather than the hotel, that trade-off is exactly the right one, and the rating of 8 among recent guests backs it up.
- ✓Book the Richmond Hill area early for peak summer weekends, since rooms here sell out faster than the wider Greater Toronto Area hotel market.
- ✓Eat breakfast before eight if beating the Splash Works queues matters, since service here runs early enough to still make the park on time.
- ✓Confirm the pet fee and any breed limits directly before booking, since policies are not identical across every pet-friendly hotel in this cluster.
Why we love it
- Free breakfast included in the rate

Why guests love itOn paper Travelodge by Wyndham Richmond Hill is one of many similar 2-star options in the Richmond Hill cluster, but the no confirmed hotel pool and free breakfast give it a genuine edge for a family planning around Splash Works specifically. The location keeps the drive to Canada's Wonderland short without pushing the nightly rate into a premium bracket, which is the balance most families weighing this cluster are actually looking to strike.
