| - It was our four year anniversary and we couldn't quite afford the vacation we had in mind, so a staycation was just what the doctor ordered! After dining in at a Bloor St West restaurant (Bloom, awesome!) for Winterlicious we walked a bit in the snowfall and took the subway back to the Old Mill Inn.
We'd already registered earlier in the day, taking advantage of a Sunday Special which reduced the room from $275+ to just around $200 for a King Room with view (a delightfully picturesque view of the Humber Valley River)
Walking down to the hotel is a bit weird, despite being super walkable and accessible, you need to cross a little bridge to get to the Inn, the bridge doesn't even have sidewalks. The cobbles are all loose and scary, it's not meant for those without cars, obviously.
The jacuzzi in the bathroom was probably my favourite thing, the room being actually kind of small (or maybe the bed was just really large...) Dresser space was actually somewhat lacking for such a large room, not that it mattere as we were there one night, but I wondered what a week there would be like.
So, things sound ok, why is this a 3 star review you may ask? Thing is, it's SO DAMN EXPENSIVE you think they'd be able to include things like, oh, complimentary wireless internet? Snacks? I've stayed at less and gotten way more. It seems though, they pride themselves on pricing themselves above and beyond simple standards that other hotels offer without batting an eyelash.
