| - A good place to stay, especially for a family or a large group of people since they also have 2 bedroom suites. The big plus for Extended Stay is that is one of the very few hotels that have a kitchenette which is very helpful for people with special dietary needs and want to cook their food themselves.
Rooms:
We had to go for a 2 bedroom suite since they were almost out of rooms. It was a too much for just two folks. Having said that, the room was in great shape - clean and well arranged. They have 3 TVs apparently (one in each bedroom and one in the living room). The kitchen was good and all the basic utensils were already there. They also provide a coffee machine with coffee, tea bags, sugar etc. However, if you are looking for salt or any condiments - hard luck. We reached late in the evening and while cooking, we discovered that there isn't any salt in the room. There are a couple of convenience stores around but none that have any sachets of salt or a salt in smaller quantity.
Service:
The service, overall, is good. They have a good spread in the breakfast with bagels, toasts, juices, coffee, milk, slices of bread, cereals, scrambled eggs etc. They even have an evening snacks bar - which I haven't seen in any other Extended Stays (in the US) - but we never got a chance to see that as we were out on all evenings of our stay. The staff was good, quite helpful.
Location:
The location is quite good - just off 400 and Steeles Avenue looked like one of the most happening streets (all the way down) in the area with many restaurants, gas stations, plazas etc.
Overall, it's a great place to be - especially if you want to cook yourself during the stay. The next best option you can get after Airbnb.
