| - I was so in love with the decor and bed that I didn't notice until two nights later that we had a view of the CN Tower. This hotel is so hip, yet so down-to-earth, I loved it immediately. Most importantly, the bed was a large pillowy cloud with high-end linens. I wanted to sleep for days and days on it. The shower was open glass (you have to close the blinds to the room if you want your traditional private showering experience), and the shower head itself is like standing under a giant gentle raincloud.
The bar downstairs is most excellent, gracious, fun service, and good libations. We wanted a nightcap one night, and they were clearly closing up. I don't like to keep people from getting home, so I was prepared to leave, but the bartender said she'd be happy to make us one drink. And we didn't feel rushed at all. We almost missed the bar the night they celebrated earth hour, thankfully, a kind soul assured us they were open, please join them by candlelight. This is a green hotel, very earth-friendly.
The breakfast leaves a bit to be desired, but I really don't expect breakfast in a hotel, since I rarely eat it when I'm at home (and it's free, really, you get what you pay for). The server did make me a nice cup of espresso, so she is in my good graces.
The location is great, right in the middle of Maple Leaf Square, very happening location.
