Reccomended.

Cool boutique hotel. Much quieter than I expected being right on the main drag. We stayed here once 15 or more years ago. Better than I remember. My wife was worried about being on the street after dark, but come on, it's Toronto. We walked after dark and felt super safe. Thanks Drake! Great sleep, which is all I was after.
