| - This is a great hotel to stay in if you value good service, clean rooms and great location. I assumed this place might feel a bit snooty but it was not at all. Everyone from front desk, concierge to the bellhops were all warm and friendly.
The location is very convenient as you are on the corner of Avenue and Bloor Street West so are well within a short walking distance to places like Louis Vutton, Tiffany's and a 3-5 min walk to the Bay, Holt Renfrew, William Sonama, Pottery Barn, H&M and Zara. The restaurants around here nearly all Italian which is fine for mainstream fare but for more interested eats, it is about a $10-$15 cab ride further to the west side. Also, this hotel is about a 5 min walk to the Bay subway station so that's very convenient.
As for the room itself, it was set up in a fairly basic hotel sort of way. Decor was pretty average but the room was clean except for the vents which were quite dusty. We got the king size bed which was super comfy and lovely to sleep on. The pillows were all too soft for me but I like a firmer pillow, nonethless still a good night's rest. The bathroom was clean and the bathtub had amble room for toiletries. Good counterspace overall. The free shampoo and lotion was more perfumey than I would personally use but it did the trick. Room was not noisy at all - didn't hear too much traffic outside.
Free wi-fi was strong and consistent.
Hotel limo offered up free car service within a designated radius around the hotel which was very convenience if you managed to book it in time for an outing. You do have to find your way back to the hotel.
Overall, great stay and would highly recommend.
