| - This review is late, by one week, but I do think it is necessary. I booked with this hotel through Expedia. On travel search engines it seemed to have a similar price for that location which is important if you want to be close to transit, events and the entertainment district.
I stayed one night midweek. Describing the walls as paper thin is not accurate- rice paper thin is a better description. You will hear everything- doors slamming, elevators dinging, other guests at the other end of the 11th floor returning drunk, cussing, yelling, and ultimately there was a call to Toronto PD for a domestic assault ("I'm going to f-ing beat you" was the phrase that had me calling it in). In addition, there are no blackout shades (seriously, these are pretty cheap- IKEA comes to mind) and it's on a busy well-lit street. Light also seeps in through the one-inch crack in the door to the hallway.
The WiFi never worked. Ever. They have a goofy way of assigning passwords per device and then it doesn't work anyways. The food looked horrific, I would not venture to eat it and there are many more places that are cheap and close- spend the $5 elsewhere and get something that you will not regret.
Bottom line- for $20 more you could go to a hotel that has blackout shades, working WiFi, better noise control, and hopefully, no drunks wandering the halls giving you reason to call 911 after midnight. Run fast and far away from this place, especially if you value sleep and quiet for $200/ night.
