I stayed in the Howard Johnson Hotel on Roncesvalles Avenue and truly enjoyed it. The staff are friendly, the room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was more than adequate and the manager was a thorough gentleman. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel as a great place to stay. Moreover, it is located in a very convenient...

My daughter I and I stayed here for 3 nights several years ago. What they don't tell you is that the city buses park in the back. The parking was a good 3 blocks away in a creepy locked garage. The breakfast was in a small restaurant next door and was ok. The front desk people were nice enough, but... More

Worst hotel experience of my life. I couldn't even stay in the room, the smell was awful, the streets were cleaner than this room, there was even fly's all over the room and bathroom. Don't take a risk with this one like we did. The other reviewers are not hard to please, it really is that bad! "Five minutes from... More

I booked through Wyndham for a Non-Smoking room - obviously you can come to the conclusion that I got a smoking room, full of cigarette burns everywhere, the sheets, the lamp, the walls. Not only was the room full of burns, the smell hit you as soon as you walked onto the floor. I also saw a couple of bugs... More

When we got to the room, the carpets were still wet from a shampoo. Also, it smelled. The staff was kind and the continental breakfast was OK. The location was right near the lake and it wasn't TOO far from downtown, but I would try to find a better hotel if I ever go back to Toronto.

The rooms are tiny. You had to be starved to eat their breakfast. Terrible location. There is no place to dine, have breakfast or lunch nearby. It isn't very clean.

Hotel was 1.5 hour walk from CNN tower or a 50 min ride on the street car in traffic. Rooms were very dark and the huge desk, chair and tv cabinet served no purpose but to take up space. Hotel was very clean though. My husband and I are travelling for 6 months but otherwise we would not be staying... More

After reading some terrible reviews we were quite nervous about what we would find. There are definitely some positives and negatives we found but for the price would stay again. First of all the front desk service was fantastic. The manager checked us in and he kept checking on us everytime he saw us and arranged for taxis. The room... More
