“Nice Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

My 1st time in Toronto and stayed here for 2 days, while attending a baseball game.
The front desk staff was very helpful and knowledgeable on where to go and how to get there. The hotel was very busy. The breakfast area was over crowded and people waited for a place to sit at breakfast. Most did not discover a room across the hall that was practically empty. Perhaps noticeable signage would be helpful.
The usual breakfast fare was offered.
There was a $20 day parking fee, which I thought should have been included, but oh well. We left the car parked for 2 days and took the bus around.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. I would stay here again!

Dear Valued Guest,
I would like to thank you for taking the time to tell us about your stay at the Holiday Inn Express Toronto Downtown. It is always nice to hear how well our guests are treated by our associates and we focus on training them to provide each guest with an exceptional stay. With Toronto’s parking spaces at a premium and a limited number of spots available for our hotel guests we feel that the cost of parking is competitive to other lots in the area and the in/out privileges are a way of compensating for the cost as most of the parking lots do not accommodate this. Once again thank you for taking the time to write and tell us about your stay with us and we look forward to seeing again when you get the chance to visit our fair city.
Thank you

“OK hotel if you're staying for 1 night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

I drove up from Montreal to see a show, so it was a very short stay: got there at 4pm and left at 11 the next morning. We were only in the room from 3 am until checkout so it was really just to sleep, no hanging out there or anything. That's why we didn't want to pay a fortune. The place was clean. Walking distance from downtown and theatres. But if you want a fun hotel that looks new, don't go there. We didn't really had curtains so the light was pretty strong in the morning. I would not go back there for more than one night. And if I found another hotel with same price for the same thing I would try it. But it's still an ok place if you don't want to spend much.

“misleading”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

The hotel is well located and reasonably price but not very clean. The service is poor and the available amenities described on the web may not exist or are described in a misleading way. For example, the claim they have an “off site” health center but all that means (according to the on-site staff) is that they are close-by fitness centers that may have fee-based daily access.

“Average but affordable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

The hotel is conveniently located in the downtown area. Close to the business district, 2 blocks away to the Lawrence market. The room is a little bit tight. The hot breakfast is great addition to the amenities this hotel offers. The parking is also a deal, $20 for 24 hours that allows you to go in & out (all included). An affordable place to stay in the downtown area.

“Good basic accomodation right downtown”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

Have stayed here a few times now for work and leisure. Place is always clean and comfortable, rapid easy check-in, and the very pleasant guys on the desk always call a few mintues after check-in to make sure the room is in order - a small but nice touch in a less expensive hotel. Guys up front are really nice.

Nothing much on the streets immediately around the hotel but it's right downtown so nothing is very far. Well served by a constant stream of cabs on all the surrounding streets as well as public transit. Starbucks 1 block away at Church & Adelaide. Would be nice if the hotel had a few more basic services but they offer a full breakfast for those who want that and there is a convenience store a block away.

This is not a lush, Fairmont type experience but then you're not paying for that. To me it offers very good value in a more basic kind of place, comfortable, clean and reliable at a decent rate for downtown TO.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the back side if you are bothered by a bit of road noise, but even on the Jarvis S...
