| - It's hard not to rate a 5-star hotel highly, considering the staff at these types of hotels are very accommodating, rooms are clean, and bathrooms are enormous. The sneaky best part of nice hotels is the big bathrooms. But I digress.
To start, the Park Hyatt in Toronto has a solid location. It's next to the Royal Ontario Museum, expensive shopping, expensive restaurants, and pretentious urbanites and tourists in their $225 Dolce & Gabbana tees. I exclude myself from this aforementioned pretentious group because I only stayed at the Park Hyatt because it was free. A perk to being a Hyatt Visa cardholder is you get an annual free night at any Hyatt in the world. That being said, prices here range in the $250 - $500 CAD range, which isn't AWFUL. But dang, I just don't think I could bring myself to pay that for any hotel. I'm not elite or rich enough to understand the reasoning, so I'll simply leave it to you to decide on the reasonableness. Although that is precisely why I became a Hyatt Visa member, so I wouldn't have to pay for rooms.
The rooms were nice, of course, although they had a bit of a dated feel to them. Carpet wasn't flush with the wall and was sorta messed up and stringy, for example. I still also hate that these types of places don't provide commentary breakfast, or anything commentary, really. Like what are we paying for? The bathroom was nice and spacious, and I always appreciate robes.
I've stayed at the Park Hyatt in Tokyo and the Hyatt Regency in Buffalo, and find the Hyatt Regency lines to be more worth the money than Park Hyatt. Well, if I paid for them, anyway lol. Actually, even the lower-tiered Hyatt Place hotels give you breakfast. If you're rich, then you aren't even reading this review. If you're just feeling splurgey, at least do some price shopping before settling on here.
