Very clean and modern. Quiet with comfy beds and an appropriate bathroom that was also clean and modern. Not many amenities except TV but there is a pub at the lobby level and many eateries within walking distance. The price is the main draw and the fact that it's walkable to the lake and Convention Center as well as the... More

The room seemed small compared to other hotels, but had a European flavour; no carpet (nice); no view from the window (looked over to another wing of the hotel); bed was very comfortable and had lots of pillows :). The one downside that we found is that even though we were on an executive floor (11), the hallway was very... More

The room was coffin-sized & smelled so bad I couldn't stand it. I checked out @ 5am & sat in the lobby until my departure time because the chemical based odor kept me awake. The shower stall was so small you couldn't find a corner to apply shampoo without the water stream. To top it off, the elevator was under... More

I had stayed at this hotel during early May. The rate was $110 (including tax) per night - a good value if you stay in downtown Toronto. This hotel is also close to Toronto Airport Express route. I paid $20 from/to airport each way. Otherwise, a taxi ride from/to airport will cost me $60 one way. I booked an Economy... More

It's always hard to find a nice downtown hotel, that is reasonably priced and of good quality. I am not overly fussy, but I wasn't overly impressed with this hotel. Wasn't at all happy with the check in process, had to ask 10 other questions and felt like I was bothering the guy! But he did call once I got... More

As long as you get a good deal, it's worth a go. You mainly pay for the great location - the rooms and interior is basic but does the trick. We just stayed for two nights to take in some shows and nightlife. We hardly dealt with staff, except for the checking in process with some awful spirited agent, everyone... More

Location is good, but so is every downtown Toronto hotel. Nothing to brag about or feel proud of. Rooms are extremely small and for what I paid I could have had the same price with more services in another hotel, minus the bad attitudes manning reception and with some sort of identity. The rooms are lacking comfort and character. Wifi... More

Great location, not very expensive, clean, comfortable and in a great location for exploring the city. I found the staff really helpful and polite and the room, although on thevsmall side, was all I needed for my stay. I would recommend to anyone, and for people travelling alone I think it a very safe place and a great option. It's... More
