The breakfast options were standard but not to me nor my acquaintances likings. The room had a bit of a smell upon entry but nothing too strong. The bathroom could do with a bit more cleaning. Overall it's decent property but had few flaws that affected my stay.

Nice location, par for this property type

Brief stay in town for a concert; hotel prices were reflective of that (2 Rogers Centre shows from a Toronto native). The price paid was not commensurate for what you get. However, I’m a believer in “need a good bed, decent shower & cleanliness trumps everything else.” All of those boxes were checked. Check in was quite slow, though the apparently absent A/C in the lobby probably made it seem slower than it was. Room A/C quite fine but loud fan, I’d suggest earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Tub has been “redone” with a coating of some sort that is peeling a lot; I don’t really care but it exudes old property. Small in room fridge. $25 o/n parking in secure underground structure, super convenient & we could charge our car as well. Overall good for a quick concert stay; great location, value just ok but seems all hotel pricing these days is pretty outrageous.

This is an excellent hotel. The front desk staff were extremely helpful. The rooms were pristine and had many nice amenities. Most low-cost hotels provide two flat towels, but this one had stacks of white, fluffy towels. Although you do have to pay for parking, the lot is secure. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent and efficient lodging

There was a problem with my reservation, which was one day too short for the meeting I was attending. They accommodated me in the same room, which was very helpful. The staff was very personable and polite and efficient. I would gladly stay there again, and may recommend it to other people who go to Toronto.

Basic, area around hotel not great

This hotel is very basic and the area around it is dodgy. So the location looks good b/c close to downtown but just enough on outskirts to be sketchy. The air conditioner is so loud it is very hard to get a good nights sleep. The room condition is decent and fine. This really is a hotel for people on a budget or ok with no frills.
