For a recent business trip to the windy Apple, Toronto Ontario, I was fortunate that my employer caught the Christmas spirit a bit early and set me up at the newly renovated downtown Doubletree. My per firm compared to Toronto prices would normally offer the options of subway grate or strangers couch, but sometimes everything comes up Jeremy.
This hotel is AWESOME. It scored high on the JLTH (JMac Loves This Hotel) scale based on a few key factors.
#1 - it looked like the property brothers designed it. Those twinsies with whimsy make having a clean place to poop, shower, and sleep look far cooler than your grandmothers house which was full of floral print and being yelled at for being 7 and not sharing a mutual infatuation with Barry Manilow and Lima beans
#2 - the Arctic crew can represent in full force. In homage to some equally large and sweaty former teammates, I immediately turn the AC to max whenever I walk into a hotel room. If your boogs ain't frozen, you ain't living. Within 10 min of check in, I was chased by a frickin sabertooth tiger.
#3 (tie) - comfy bed and any bonus guest perks.
This bed was immaculate. It's cliche to say sleeping on a cloud, so instead I will say that my time in the room was spent laying on my back happily shivering and trying to reach things with my poking stick like the mom in what's eating Gilbert grape
50 bonus points were given for free warm cookies at check in followed by more free cookies because of mine disappearing like the DaVinci code before my credit card was even swiped. C is for cookie and cookie is for me!
Like Arnold, I'll be back
