| - Sometimes a girl just needs to check out of her apartment and into a cheap hotel for a few days. We've all been there: When all of the rooms are being painted with poison and you're flying out in a few days so the location of the hotel is just right for such a get away, so it makes perfect sense to just move in here. You know. Something like that.
Well this happens-to-everyone situation happened to me, and luckily an old friend was in town for a conference by the airport, so being in a parking lot in Mississauga actually turned out to be a fairly enjoyable place to linger.
The hotel restaurant, Graffiti's, is terrible for a la cart, but their $6.99 breakfast buffet is pretty decent. It reminded me of uni cafeteria food, which for whatever reason doesn't phase me. Hot eggs, bacon and sausage and everything else you'd expect. Totally acceptable.
My suite was larger than many friends' apartments and came with two TVs, a fridge, a microwave, coffee maker and a blow dryer. All of these amenities for under $70 a night.
PEPPER'S PISSED: Their wifi ended up being spotty at times, and they did that thing where for a price you could get "better wifi", or stick with their complimentary that kept cutting out. What a crock. You either have free wifi or you don't.
