I've been staying here for years. The rooms are clean and functional. The staff are friendly and helpful. And you can't beat the price, given the location. High-end hotels a block or two away charge two to three times as much. Go there if you want to revel in hotel-room luxury. But go to the HoJo if you want a... More

I booked my stay on Hotwire and received this hotel. It cost me around $140 since it was busy season. Let's just say, if you're looking for a great way to waste money, this is it. Positives: Location. Its about a 2 or 3 minute walk to the heart of Yorkville in good weather. A bit longer if its bad... More

Lobby seems nice, clean. The room was big but very outdated and worn. Bedroom seemed clean but there were stains on the... More

My husband and I spent two nights here. The room was extremely attractive and larger than expected. The mattress was the best I've experienced in years. Due to the position of the room door, it was a tight squeeze bringing in the luggage. Plenty of towels in the bathroom. No coffee maker in the room, but coffee and hot tea... More

I knew it wasn't going to be the best of hotels when the door didn't automatically open on the way in! ;-) It looked up with the chap on reception though as he was friendly and really helpful when it came to advice on where to eat/drink. When I got to the room however I was shocked at the dated... More

I stayed at the Yorkville Hojo and must admit, for $100 a night, it is a great price for the best location in this city. Bloor St and Avenue Road remind me of Madison and 5th in NYC. So many great high end stores. We had a shopping weekend and with all of the money we saved on our hotel... More

The Room looks like it has not been renovated in my life time probably. Mold all over the shower ceiling a top of walls... bedding so old. TV very dated, smells.

My daughter and I stayed at the Yorkville Howard Johnson during our visit to the Toronto Film Festival in September, 2011. The hotel was very conveniently located one block north of the Four Seasons Hotel so the location itself couldn't be better.

I stayed at the Howard Johnsons Yorkville hotel for 3 days on business. The room we stayed in needed some updating but it was clean. The staff was very friendly, especially the afternoon front desk person. The location of the hotel is fabulous and makes up for any deficiencies in the rooms! I would definitely recommend this hotel!
