I rarely stay in Holiday Inns but it was a last-minute decision and just for one night. The hotel is in a great location for those looking to be near the Church & Wellesley area; nightclubs and restaurants are plentiful, and there are lots of places open very late to buy food, etc. The lobby was quite nice; the hotel is attached to a spa (though I am not sure it owns it), and there is a nice dining area on adjacent to the front desk area. I found the front desk staff to be friendly and accommodating.
I spent five nights in Toronto and, ironically, this was the most expensive night for me hotel-wise (shocking, since I spent two nights at the Renaissance and the other two nights at the Ritz-Carlton). When I got to my room on the twelfth floor, I was shocked by how small it was. The desk was attached to the wall, there was a bed and that was it - not even a chair aside from the desk chair. The closet could barely fit a carry-on sized piece of luggage. Even the bathroom was minuscule.
Other than that, I can say little more of this hotel. I paid a premium price for a tiny hotel room lacking any amenities and certainly without any elements of luxury. It was a Holiday Inn at Hilton prices. My recommendation: there is a Courtyard Marriott across the street. Stay there.
