Chelsea Hotel, Toronto
Facilities were excellent. Staff professional and very helpful. Great restaurant. Although this place is real busy, staff was super attentive. Location was central to good things to see and do

Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre by IHG
The best part about this hotel is it is located right at the heart of downtown and a few steps away from the subway station. The rooms are a bit cramped but real estate space must be a luxury in this part of Toronto. The breakfast is great and the staff are friendly.

Toronto Don Valley Hotel and Suites
One King West Hotel & Residence
Very nice and clean hotel. The only down fault is parking. It cost $70 a night to park at the hotel and if you don’t want to pay that then you have to go down the street and park somewhere else for cheaper.
