| - It is a fine hotel, the Intercontinental Yorkville. We arrived late in the evening, and were greeted with excellent service at the front desk. Our (upgraded) room was very comfortable, with one of the greatest hotel beds I've slept in. The view of the art museum through a bay window was tops.
The building, like most hotels I think, was under renovation in various parts when we visited. And you could tell - from little chips in the flooring, and a the hot-cold sticker coming loose in the shower, that this is not the newest place.
There are nice touches, like free apples, towels, and bottled waters for the morning running crowd. They offered umbrellas when it was pouring. However, asking for our room numbers while lending out the umbrellas was a bit unexpected, as they were cheaply made, and who'd want to walk off with Intercontinental Branded umbrellas?
Location-wise, you are in the heart of Yorkville, with an attached gift store, adjacent drug store, and a bank and subway station literally 1 minute's walk from the front door. The homeless were a bit in your face at times at the street corner, but that's all of Toronto I suppose.
Valet parking is available for $35 a night.
