The room was comfortable and clean. The area around it has many things to see and do. The on-site restaurant is a bit tired looking, but overall a great spot to stay and take advantage of Toronto amenities

The staff were incredible, the location was great and the concept of the hotel was amazing. We loved the cafe just steps away from our room. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the shower.
