This is not a hotel for anyone over 40. The AC was very noisy, coming on and off all night to disturb our sleep. No TV or coffee maker in the room - no tissues either. We will not stay here again or recommend it. The one person we interacted with was nice and helpful. Otherwise - not for us!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Everything was good except breakfast. The breakfast is poor; travelling people need more energy in the morning. Take something with you to add to the breakfast. But it was well served and the cups, spoons, plates were clean and of good quality. Location is excellent - metro Spadina is really close. what I like most was the staff - nice caring people. The bed was fantastic!!! The room fully eqiuped. IMHO the only thing they have to improve is breakfast.
