After reading several great reviews I decided to book the Homewood Suites for my trip to Toronto with my husband and young daughter. First the good: Service is great, rooms are nice and clean, breakfast was fantastic and the location is convenient.
All that said, I would not return for two major reasons. The first: noise. One side of the hotel faces a very noisy major road. We requested a room switch immediately. Problem is that the other side of the hotel faces a large parking lot for a movie theater that apparently shows late-night movies. All night long we were kept up by booming car stereos and kids hanging out and shouting. I am pretty sure the police broke up a fight right below our room.
My second complaint is value. This hotel is twice the price of other hotels in the area so I guess I was expecting something very upscale or otherwise out of the ordinary. Instead, the weekend we were there the hotel was apparently a host hotel for a youth hockey tournament. So, instead of enjoying the amenities we got to watch kids have chicken fights in the pool and tend their Farmville Farms on the computers in the business center while we wondered if there were any adults overseeing any of this. Anywhere else I might not have cared, but given the price we paid, I was somehow expecting more.
