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.

Many positives but also I have to mention that any staff interaction we had was very poor. Aside from Ravish everyone else we spoke to really couldn’t have cared less about us as guests. Would not stay here again based on that alone.

A great hotel, but, the air conditioner in our room was loud, otherwise a fantastic place and we would definitely book here again. Great for those who like to walk and avoid traffic. You need to be aware of the neighborhood as there is a transient population in the area but we had no issues because we were aware. 20 minute walk to Rogers center, 10 minutes to distillery area, two minutes to Market area and 5 to harbour walkway. Many places to eat around area. Daily breakfast was great and more than enough food. Staff were amazing and friendly!!!

We enjoyed the breakfasts: there were lots of choices for eating. Also, the front desk clerk was very happy to give us a bar of soap to use in the room. Having the coffee off to the side was nice, too, because it was on your way up to your room or when leaving the hotel.
