| - My friend and I were arriving very early on a recent Saturday from New York and were looking to just drop our luggage off, so we could begin sightseeing and return to the hotel to check in later. Of course, it was a very pleasant surprise when the desk clerk at the Ramada allowed us to check in to our room at 6:00am (with no additional charge!). It's perks like this that make it a nice hotel to stay in.
The Ramada is located about a ten-minute walk to the College subway station and Yonge Street, so it's a good spot for tourists who want quick access to Downtown Toronto's attractions. We booked a couple of months ahead, so the advance rate of $102 (CAD) including taxes was great for a place like this. The room was very nice and equipped with all the standards (TV, desk, a couple of sofas and a coffee table), and the beds were actually very comfortable which helps. My only complaint was that the room smelled like cigarette smoke from the minute we arrived. My friend said he thought it was just the cleaning agent they used, but I couldn't be sure. The climate control system in the room had a mind of its own, so it was difficult to get it running to keep the air fresh, but we managed.
Overall, the Ramada is a very nice and very affordable option right in Downtown Toronto.
