Toronto

We had a king room and it was of a reasonable size. There was a king bed in the centre with a bedside table either side. We had a chair by the window and a dresser with a small TV on top. All the woodwork was dark and the carpet and chair green. The bedding was white. There was also a desk with Internet connection available.

The bathroom was plain but functional with a large bath with shower over and a toilet. The washbasin and vanity were located in the main room in a separate area, which consisted on a basin, large mirror and hairdryer. The coffee maker was also in this area.

A large wardrobe was next to the vanity area with mirrored doors. There was also an iron and ironing board in here.

Our room smelt a little musty, as if there was some damp in the room, which was a little annoying, although it was clean overall.

Our TV was also annoying as it had black lines scrolling down the screen all the time, regardless of the channel.

The hotel has underground parking that is valet parking. They charge $25 per day to park your car and you can have access to the car 24 hours and have the car brought round to you as often as you need.

If you dont want valet parking there are two or three parking lots very close to the hotel, which cost $20 per day. We chose to have the valet service, as it was just quicker and easier.

Very quick and efficient check-in, although there wasnt anyone else checking in when we did, so this obviously helped. Staff very pleasant and friendly.

The hotel cost did not include breakfast and we only had breakfast at the hotel for one morning. It consists of a buffet, so all you can eat and was very substantial. They had just about everything you could want such as eggs cooked to order, bacon, sausage, French toast, bagels, toast, fruit, cakes, muffins and loads more. The downside was the cost for the four of us our breakfast bill came to over $70 hence we only had breakfast once.

The restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner, both of which I believe were buffet type meals. However, there are lots and lots of places to eat within a few minutes walk of the hotel.

The hotel is located in downtown Toronto on Yonge Street, so is very central to everything in Toronto. It takes approximately five minutes to walk to the Eaton Centre where all the shopping is located.

Because of its central location there is some noise, but we were on a high floor, so weren't affected to much.
