Loved most

  • Excellent location (opposite Union Station, near CN Tower and aquarium)
  • Friendly, accommodating and exemplary staff (front desk, housekeeping, bartenders)
  • Beautiful, grand historic property with comfortable lounges
  • Added in-room WiFi and indoor parking noted
  • Cleanliness and housekeeping praised by multiple guests

Worth knowing — Rooms feel outdated: old decor, small bathrooms and need renovation · Perceived poor value / high price and unexpected fees · Noise issues: elevator gears, subway/outside noise and occasional thin soundproofing · Room service slow and poor value (long wait times) · Understaffing reported: long reception lines and absent bellhops at times · Accessibility concerns at entrance (stairs, no ramp) and some rooms lacked safes

  • Location9.8

    Consistently praised as excellent — opposite Union Station and close to CN Tower and aquarium; very convenient for travel and events.

    Mostly praised — staff were accommodating (handled a fire alarm professionally), front desk and bartenders received strong praise — but some reports of understaffing, long reception lines and missing bellhop assistance.

    Generally positive mentions of cleanliness and housekeeping; guests noted clean rooms and helpful housekeeping staff.

  • Amenities8.6

    Good lounges, added in-room WiFi and indoor parking were appreciated; some issues with slow room service and limited a la carte breakfast options.

  • Food and Beverage7.6

    Mixed feedback: some praised the restaurants and food, while others reported limited breakfast choices and slow/poor-value room service.

  • Room Quality7.2

    Mixed to negative: multiple guests noted outdated decor, small bathrooms, need for renovation, elevator/subway noise and older TVs.

    “Lovely historic building with modern rooms and facilities. The staff and service was excellent. We stayed in a gold suite that gave us access to the gold lounge which served a range of free food and drink (with an honesty bar). The room was lovely, quiet and well equipped.”

    “The bed, pillows, etc. were clean and very comfortable in a nice sized room (with lovely decor). Plus there was a kettle for tea (as well as coffee with pods) in the room. Staff made every effort to accommodate needs, and even though it was busy (as Thanksgiving weekend), they could handle it. I had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and then a lovely breakfast. Good location: Downtown (nearby restaurants and activities) and very accessible to Pearson Airport via UP train and near Union Station (for subway and trains).”
