This Holiday Inn provides everything you need for a city break in an excellent location. Firstly the location is the main draw for the hotel- it's less than a block from the subway (College station) and also Streetcar stops. We found we got everywhere we needed super easily (it's also easy walking distance from many downtown attractions). Location-wise too there are so many amenities on the doorstep- a Shoppers (pharmacy) and Metro (supermarket) just up the street as well as many coffee shops and places to get food in the adjoining blocks. It is a busy area, but feels very safe for it (many students coming and going to the nearby university buildings). The hotel itself is well-maintained overall. It is a busy one, and one that's been there a while so some wear and tear around the edges but in our room nothing you'd class as an issue (more scuff marks and older furniture). The rooms are small but not tiny, for two of us, who only really used the room to sleep it was totally fine. Bathroom a decent size for this kind of room and very functional. As with most city hotels not loads of storage but we made it work. The TV occasionally didn't work properly but again we weren't using it a lot so didn't bother to raise it with the desk. The pool was also closed while we were there but they had some emergency repairs to carry out, so can't be helped. The customer service at the hotel was outstanding- we requested a room move (due to noise) and they could not have been more accommodating. We were also met with a friendly receptionist on check in (apologies I can't remember their name) who gave us information on where the subway was, stores etc. All in all a lovely stay. Read less

Our first room was terrible,m. The air filter hate was open, exposing an air filter that was not cleaned in years - it was gross. Then the air conditioner began to leak soaking our carpet . Once we got a new room, it was better. Average hotel, but close to subway and Yonge Street. You pay for the location but otherwise it was average at best.

This hotel was functional but not impressive for my business trip. My small room had laminate floors and one small window. The duvet on the bed was thin. The WiFi works well. I did not think the breakfast in the adjoining restaurant was worth paying for.

Great location, great rates. Boom. You can't go wrong with Holiday Inn. Clean. Convenient. Reasonable. They meet the standard and never miss. No surprises, no problems. Quiet rooms, quality linens, newer mattresses and refreshed furnishings. Their TV is better than mine. The housekeeper is a really sweet lady too.
