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

Hotel is well placed for access to most local amenities - Union Station, Air Canada & Rogers Centre, CN Tower, The Path shopping strip, water front, etc. Only criticisms were the room size - new york size tiny ( in fact i had bigger in New York!), and the lift upgrade meaning long waits at times for access to your...

We finally got an empty room and it was smelly and small. This is not the worst. At 1 am, there were other guests using their room card trying to open our... More
