We're local to Toronto, but needed a place to stay overnight. Booking a Howard Johnson location meant, to us, reasonable and affordable accommodations. When we arrived, we were absolutely appalled by the room decor and the poor quality mattress. Given the coverlet was of a style popular in the 80s, I was really disgusted to think how old the linens... More

ok...it was cheap. But there's cheap and there's CHEAP! Not a place I'm yearning to return to. It took 25 minutes to check in as there was only one person working. The room was "executive"....hmmmmm....very dusty, bathroom had the dreaded hair in the bath syndrome, very run down and in need of lots of repair and redecoration. Desk weeeny, desk... More

The best thing about this hotel is its location. Walking distance to the ROM, and subway stations, bixi bike rentals and yorkvilee. The hotel is old and needs attention, rooms are warm, but you need to ask for a minibar fridge at the reception and they'l bring one in for you ! They serve free breakfast, nothing fancy. Good for...

While this hotel is right in the middle of a great location, the desk help is slow and extremely limited when it comes to giving any restaurant ideas and the like. The rooms are outdated, the breakfast leaves much to be desired, unless if you like frozen bagels. The hair dryer in the bathroom is rigged to be hooked up... More

We stayed here on a Wednesday in March for one night. We booked a king size room online for 70$ and found the room very nice for the price. It was very spacious and clean. There was a nice real brick wall behind the bed. The washroom was quite small, but clean and it would be fine for a couple... More

I've been staying here for years. The rooms are clean and functional. The staff are friendly and helpful. And you can't beat the price, given the location. High-end hotels a block or two away charge two to three times as much. Go there if you want to revel in hotel-room luxury. But go to the HoJo if you want a... More
