The spacious corner rooms, some featuring window shutters, offer fantastic sunrise views, especially overlooking the water, with the CN Tower also visible from some rooms.

charmed by harbourside views

waterfront location cn tower streetcar stop

I appreciated the waterfront location. It made exploring very easy. My room offered an amazing view of the iconic CN tower and it was wonderful at night. i took advantage of the nearby streetcar stop to get around. Amsterdam was next door and it was so convenient.

The bathroom lighting was unusual. It made doing hair difficult. i also heard noise from the street and hallway, made restful sleep hard. getting an earlier checkout wasn't possible. It seemed the staff couldn't assist.

Clean Hotel Close to Attractions

direct line five-minute walk many restaurants

The hotel is close to the UP train station, a direct line to the airport. The stadium is a short five-minute walk away. I discovered many restaurants nearby, and the brew house behind the hotel is worth a visit. It had everything I needed!!!

I noticed hair on the bathroom floor. I told the front desk during check-in that room service was not needed, and the room lacked a door tag. The room got serviced on the first day. I was disappointed by this error.

Acceptable stay at hotel.

friendly staff downtown activities clean room building site hallway noise unacceptable disturbance

I found the staff quite friendly . The location offers proximity to many downtown activities. My room was very clean, and this was a plus for me.

The city view from my window was actually of a building site. It was a bit disappointing. I requested a quiet room, but it was not particularly so! I could hear hallway noise. A naked man caused a disturbance one night, made me uncomfortable. I think this is unacceptable.
