Horizon by SkyCity is a wonderful hotel. The staff, from the front desk, housekeeping, porters and valet parking are incredible kind and so pleasant to interact with. The rooms are well appointed, and the bed is very comfortable. Shopping on Queens St. is close by; you can walk 6 minutes down the hill or, if you have a vehicle there are parking garages near Queens St. and Wellesley St. I would absolutely recommend this hotel. Final note, to out of towners, to turn your electric outlet on, flip the circular on/off switch directly above each outlet socket. Enjoy your stay at Horizon by SkyCity!

The hotel is nice and new, and rooms are super quiet which is perfect. Unsure if it’s the newness of the hotel, but the service really needs to be improved. Slow to check in, slow to check out, slow to add breakfast to my room and get seated. The numbers to in room dining weren’t working and the meal was cold. Hopefully the experience get more seamless
