I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is phenomenal, right in downtown Toronto and pretty close to the subway. The rooms were spacious and modern, but the windows didn't open which was a bit disappointing. The service was top-notch, and the Welsh pastry in the dining was a delightful surprise. However, the price was on the higher side, but the value for money was definitely there.

I stayed at this hotel in downtown Toronto and found it to be a mixed experience. The room with a king-size bed and a private bathroom was quiet, but not luxurious. The balcony added a nice touch. The location was convenient for exploring downtown, though the small parking lot resulted in my car being damaged. The area seemed a little sketchy, but everything downtown was within walking distance.
