| - It's probably my favorite hotel in Toronto. Nice location by the Lakefront and the rooms are decent sized and very clean. They're starting to add LCD TV's in the rooms with full Rogers basic cable. Broadband used to be free but it isn't anymore. Gym is free and it's actually a public gym so it's got good hours and a decent selection of machines, free weights and aerobic equipment. Lots of TV's but they're only listenable via headsets so they're not as bad a distraction. Location is great. Just blocks away from the ACC, Rogers Centre, Front St. shopping and dining, LCBO, Loblaws, Koolhaus/Government and more.
And then there's free porn.
OK, let me explain that one. I stayed here a couple of years ago and went to my room on a break from a conference on a Saturday afternoon to watch some of the Jays game. Only problem was the TV kept going back to the barker channel. So finally, a service guy showed up, switched around the cables in the back removing the one from the set-top box and placing it in the set. Worked and what he was unaware of when he did that he set off a utopia of free PPV movies and yes, porn. When I discovered it a few hours later, I said to myself, 'I'm not paying for this'. Sure enough, bill came on my final day with NO PPV charges! I'm not sure you can do that with the new LCD sets but still, I'll always have Toronto.
