The prices in Toronto at the time we wanted to go were really expensive (due to Taylir Swift concerrt). I usually research hotels and do tend to stay away from the large chains. After my stay here, I am converted. The staff are incredible. So helpful and very friendly. Breakfast is free, it isnt all singing and dancing but was absolutely fine. Eggs and toast with bacon or sausage. Coffee is on demand and available to go at any time. Checkout is at 11am but our pickup wasnt until 1:30pm. We spoke to reception and they very kindly let us keep the room an extra 2 hours, which allowed us to rest ahead of the long journey home. This hotel is simply wonderful and I would fully recommend.

This hotel is in a good location, very walkable to lots of places. There's a great muffin place right across the street. Toronto is a city so you need to be more careful in some parts near the hotel.

This hotel is in a good location, very walkable to lots of places. There's a great muffin place right across the street. Toronto is a city so you need to be more careful in some parts near the hotel. We were assigned a room on a lower floor. Perhaps it was unique to that floor but the room felt very dated and there was not enough lighting installed, so everything was very dark. Equipment in the gym was also dated but adequate, although the treadmill made a loud horrendous noise. Hopefully they got that fixed. Breakfast was solid. Overall an average stay in a good location.

A very good experience at this hotel. IHG status recognised on arrival and given a big room with a view on the top floor. Room was very clean as was the bathroom. Service friendly. Only things that could have been better is the water pressure in the shower was a little weak for our liking and also a bit more variety / change each day on the breakfast might have been interesting, however, that said breakfast was included and was plentiful and the quality was fine. Easy walking distance to the Market, Distillery District and Financial District. Read less

We spent six days here while sightseeing around the city. Walked most places or used Lyft, street car or subway. Hotel was clean, staff were friendly & helpful and the breakfast was fantastic each morning. We were on the 16th floor and had a great view. Will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Toronto.
