Great central location in Toronto is you are looking for an affordable place downtown. The room and shower were great and the breakfast was included in the cost of the room and extensive. The attached bar and restaurant are open till 11 and the food and service were second to none. Great one night stay !

Great hotel with restaurant offering good menu, convenient location walking distance to theatre and many shops. Would stay there again and highly recommend it to friends and family. Very courteous and helpful staff, both at the front desk and in the restaurant.

we just spent a week on the top floor. Very clean rooms and lobby. I liked that no one can wander in and go up to a room, you must use your hotel keycard to access the elevators. Parking is easy and the housekeeping staff do a wonderful job.

This is the hotel many flight crews use so I thought we would give it a try. It is very clean and the staff are second to none. Every one seemed to regularly go above and beyond to make sure your stay is great. They could use fluffier towels and softer tissue but the location is central and close to most places. Our room was a bit small but we… Read more

Our room was a bit small but we were out and about so it was not an issue. The shower pan could do with being replaced but was not a problem for us. Read less

I recently spent a week at this hotel with my girlfriend and here is my review: On arrival the staff were friendly and the large reception area was clean with plenty of sitting area. The staff recognised my IHG account and linked it to this booking 👍 and we were designated to a room on floor 16. There were 4 lifts and all so far so good. We were designated a twin double room, would have preferred a double but we were fine with this. The room was on the slightly small side but again for what we wanted from it (a base to explore Toronto) it was fine, there was a cupboard & a set of 4 draws for clothes. There was a ironing board available and a safe in the room. As for the bathroom again very small but had everything required, there was a shower bath combo but a small bath. There were plenty of towels and a hair dryer. Now as for the room cleanliness, it was generally clean, but on the walls there were a couple of stains which looked to have been there for a long time. Now unfortunately during our stay my girlfriend left her necklace out while we were out exploring one day and on our return it had gone. We searched everywhere in the room but no joy. I spoke to the reception and they said the bedding had been changed and potentially it could have been caught up in it and there was no chance of finding it and that was that. I asked the cleaner the next morning and she said she hadn’t seen it either. So that evening I went to the reception again and spoke to a different person this time. They were more understanding, and checked the found property list the cleaners fill out, spoke to security and took my name and number so if it was found I would be contacted. Unfortunately it was never found. The hotel did have a small gym which had exercise machines and free weights. It did have a small pool too but unfortunately during most of our time there it was closed for maintenance. As for the hotel location, it was ideal for us exploring the city, we walked most days from here to all the main city attractions but if you wanted to use the subway/underground there was a station 200 yards from the hotel.
