| - For our short one-night stay in Toronto, a well-located hotel was definitely a priority, so we decided the Novotel fit the bill well. The hotel itself is attractive and reminds me in many ways of those I've stayed in in Paris and London. The architecture and general ambiance exude a certain European quality which I really liked.
The hotel generously let us check in super early (as we arrived around 8:00am in Toronto) and held our luggage the next day as we continued to sightsee after we checked out. The room we were given (for three) had one king-size bed and one pull-out sofa sleeper. Fortunately, we're flexible and generally cooperative, so we didn't complain, but had we been with children or more fussy adults, it could have been an inconvenience. The room itself was very tidy and neatly decorated with colorful accents. It was on the seventh floor so it had a sloped (attic-style) ceiling which (to me) added to the European charm.
The hotel is maintained to a high standard of cleanliness which is great and we found the front desk staff to be helpful. There is an attractive restaurant off the lobby (we didn't get to try it) and a gift shop as well, so it has a number of amenities for out-of-towners. As I mentioned, we found the location to be superb and within walking distance to Saint Lawrence Market, Yonge Street, etc. which made our short stay all the more convenient. For a rate of about $115 per night, we were highly pleased and look forward to returning!
