| - I was in Toronto on business and was told that this was a fantastic hotel; not to mention it was less than half a mile from my companies corporate headquarters.
This place has two hotels that are right next to each other and share the same parking lot. Parking was a premium when I arrived with my co-workers; so, if you plan on having a car in town, keep in mind parking might be a challenge at this location. After I found the right entrance to my hotel, the check-in process was done in less than 5 minutes. The front desk staff was very friendly and very informative of the hotel amenities.
Right by the front desk is everything you really need. The business center (free internet access and free use of the copier/printer), the pool and fitness center and the dining area for complimentary breakfast/dinner.
My room was right on the ground floor and was quite inviting right when you walk-in. There was a full service kitchen, seating area, king size bed, LCD TV and your standard bathroom. Everything was clean, neat and in it's respective places. The bathroom didn't have a tub, just a shower; so, if you like to take a bath versus a shower, you'll need to inquiry with the front desk.
I used the fitness center and they have a small assortment of equipment. The treadmill was a little older and sounded like it needed a new belt. They have water and towels within.
Now to the complimentary meals. I didn't try the dinner since I was going out with my co-workers, but it looked decent (I did grab a cookie and soda). They were serving meat loaf, vegetables and potatoes the night I was there. The breakfast was decent and included peameal bacon, eggs, potatoes, breads and fresh fruit. I can't complain since it was included with my stay; not bad if you're traveling on a budget.
All in all, the next time I'm in Toronto on business, I plan on staying here!
*as a side note, this hotel is located in a mostly business district and there isn't much retail/food around*
