| - We had a good experience at the Monte Carlo! Sure, the name is a little cheesy and makes you think of crooners from the 70s in crushed velvet suits, but it's actually a nice, modern, clean hotel. As mentioned in previous posts, the layout is a little odd, but it just means you need to walk an extra 15 feet. Suck it up buttercup! We got a king bed in a basic room on the 4th floor. Everything was fine. It was quiet, clean, the bed was very comfortable, we got lots of TV channels and the tub was nice and deep. There's a small pool, small gym, and free continental breakfast.
I'd say the breakky was probably the low point of the stay: there was no peanut butter for the toast, only jam and marmalade. The hot oatmeal was terrible - it tasted old and musty. The mini-croissants were stale and hard. You can upgrade your breakfast for $5, which is probably the way to go if you want eggs etc.
If you're traveling in and out of Markham via the 407, the location is amazing. If you're getting around via the 404, you might have to do a little backtracking, but it's not too bad.
Overall though, this was a good stay.
