STORY Toronto

I took the train from the airport to Union Station and walked to the hotel in under 15 minutes, with me walking slowly due to taking in the sights along the way. The hotel staff were very friendly. I had a Historic Superior Suite, on the older side of the building. The room wasn't anything special. View of the street. The bathroom was very small. All that aside, the room was clean the bed was comfy and I felt very safe. And, I was in Canada!!! I was happy. I did order room service for dinner one night. Fried chicken sandwich with fries. It was satisfactory. The location was ideal. Although public transportation was available everywhere, I walked everywhere I went and enjoyed every step. The was so much to see within walking distance of the hotel. St. Lawrence Market was so nice, I walked there twice in my 3 day trip. But, the hotel was fine as i only needed it for rest, I was out and about most of the time. When it rained, I just went to the basement entrance and walked the PATH. Took it to CF Toronto Eaton Centre, which was a nice mall.

A beautiful hotel in a great downtown area and close to great restaurants and attractions

I was concerned when I arrived because I was in the heart of downtown during the World Cup, and this clearly was a bustling location. The clientele all appeared well-heeled and ready for a good time. I personally prefer a low key quiet stay, and I expressed that desire to the staff. They reserved me a beautiful room on a higher floor. I told them that I am partial to quite few pillows and found a veritable pillow fort waiting for me! I had asked for a steamer to prepare a dress for an event I was attending and one was brought to me almost immediately. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. The hotel itself if beautiful. Truly the only constructive feedback I could give was that there was no jam with my croissant, and no English Breakfast tea in my room. Both entirely non-issues. I will absolutely be staying here again.
