I just spent three nights at The Holiday Inn on Bronte and will not hesitate to return. The staff was outstanding in service and attention and very friendly. The lobby warm and inviting - (unless you want to party in it, it doesn't need to be large!)
The Restaurant was beyond expectations - the chef went out of his way to accommodate my being a vegetarian. And for my husband cooked a 'Chicago Steak' that he says was to die for - instead of going out the other two nights there, we returned to the hotel's restaurant and it was consistent in its excellent service. It was also extremely quiet -

Recently stayed here for a wedding. Room was nice enough, comfortable and clean. Lounge area is a bit small but nice enough for a quick drink. Did not try the restaurant. Generally a good stay overall with only one real complaint, which is that the noise seems to travel through some parts of the hotel. Waiting for the elevator on the sixth floor, we heard a party on the 5th floor. In our room we could hear a lot of noise from the hallway, which was a problem when the people across from us (possibly guests at the same wedding as us unfortunately, but who knows) were talking loudly late in the evening, and then set their kids loose in the hallway at 8AM the next morning. I realized after this that I had the same problem here in a different room a number of years ago. Normally I wear earplugs and wouldn’t have noticed, and there was no point in complaining since I was already awake at that point. You probably wouldn’t have this issue 9 out of 10 times but it was frustrating this time.

Pros – Good location, close enough to highway to access it but not hear it. Bed was a good size and comfortable.
Cons – Old CRT tv, thin doors seem to let in more hallway noise than is normal.

My bf and I had a rough weekend, we decided to find a hotel around the golden horseshoe for the night on Saturday and just decided to stay at Holiday Inn as it was bit late and we didn't want to wander around the highway. He requested a non-smoking room upon check-in and quiet floor as we had alot going on. The reception told us the hotel has converted into non-smoking hotel last year but 5th floor (where we stayed) has never been a smoking floor, so we were happy and she even gave us the corner suite so we thought that would be more quiet for us. HOWEVER, as soon as we walked in the room, the air conditioning was on and the room is so cold (it's at least -7 that night with high wind warning), so I rushed to turn the heat on immediately and realized the room smelled like a smoking room. We know for sure someone has been smoking in there before. Then as we were settling down, we found few pretty big spiders, ladybug and flies in the room. It was beyond midnight so we just decided to leave things as it is. We both got waken up around 5:00 a.m. in the morning with some people yelling and partying in the hallway. My boyfriend had to call the front desk for complaints and the front desk told us the polices were just there for the same group of people. Luckily for us, they came to the floor and got those people within the next 20 minutes.
The next morning when we checked out, we addressed our complaints to the front desk and she didn't seem to care but kept asking us to add up how much we have drunk through the mini bar. Knowing we didnt even have a calculator, she even asked us to do the taxes and printed it on the paper. I thought that shouldnt be the service she should be given to guests when she had a computer in front of her that she could input the math.
Honestly we were quite a disappointed experience and we aren't sure we want to stay at a Holiday Inn again.

After the last 4 experiences I have had at Holiday inns I swore I would NEVER stay at a Holiday Inn ever again. On my trip to Oakville in November a Client recommended this particular Holiday Inn so I took a chance. AND I was not let down - everything from the friendly staff at the front desk to the interior decor, great room and super bed was enhanced by 2 great experiences at the in-house restaurant - 1 dinner and 1 lunch.

Special note - check the internet for buy 1 get 1 free coupons for the restaurant - an added bonus.

I would definitely recommend this Holiday Inn and will stay there again when I am in Oakville
