| - I feel like most of my Yelp reviews of hotels begin this way, but.. I booked the Hilton Toronto on Hotwire and it was seriously awesome. Coming in at just over $90 after taxes and fees, or about half the going rate, it was an awesome value.
Right downtown, the location was super convenient, just a few blocks from Union Station, Queen St., and right next to a subway stop. I got a room on the 29th floor and the views are great as well. I literally spent the first fifteen minutes in my room just staring out and peoplewatching.
The rest of the hotel isn't anything amazing or stand-out -- it's no boutique hotel -- but service was quick, friendly, and efficient.
My colleague also booked through Hotwire but was able to double-dip and use his HHonors membership to get a room on the executive (31st) floor, lounge access, and points towards his account. The lounge is pretty sweet and I'd say lives up to the other reviews.
Finally, WiFi was free for me, but I'm not sure if that's a result of being up on the higher floors or if that's hotel-wide.
Either way, it was a nice place to stay and a welcome change from my company's usual Ajax hotel!
