I recently travelled with my parents to the GTA for a family function and stayed here at the HGI as it was the most ideal location for us.

This HGI was larger than most HGI's, as the lobby felt a little more upscale but overall, provided the consistency one would expect when staying at an HGI.

We stayed in a room with two queen beds. For three adults and quite a few piece of luggage, the room was spacious enough. The room decor was slightly dated, i.e. floral motif, but on the bright side, the room did feature an LCD TV. As with every HGI, there was complimentary wired or wireless high speed internet, which was pretty fast and reliable; microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator, the three features which my parents loved having in the room. The bathroom was bright and spacious. Lastly, I liked how they had a safe in the closet.

During our visit, I used the fitness center, which was equipped with up to date equipment. In addition, I loved their pool and whirlpool, which was indoor and had a shower area to use before/after pool use. One morning while my Dad and I were still fast asleep, my Mom sneaked downstairs to have breakfast. She went for the Continental option which was about $8, otherwise the Full Breakfast Buffet was about $14. She said that she enjoyed it very much.

TIP: Self-Serve Coffee/Tea is complimentary every morning and is hosted in the lounge.

Service was friendly but most impressive was our room attendant who serviced our room three of the four nights we were there. She always greeted us very genuinely with a warm smile and was very kind and friendly. Not to mention, our room was always spotless!

Regarding location, again, it was ideal for our needs. The hotel is located in a suburban/business area, just off of Hwy. 7 and is within short distance to several dining options and highways. Otherwise, it just a quick drive to other dining and retail options.

Would we stay here again when in the GTA? Absolutely!

Have stayed here several times for business - consistently good rooms, exercise room, restaurant and staff.

Went to Toronto for a weekend getaway hubby was there on business. The waiter for breakfast was great with my young son! We enjoyed the indoor pool we were the only ones using it :) There were restaurants within walking distance which made it nice! Free parking was nice, I did think breakfast was overpriced but overall a good place to stay!

Nice and clean hotel. Front desk staff efficient and courteous. Room was well laid out and spacious. Conveniently located for Thornhill, right off Highway 7, easy access from #404/Don Valley to get to Toronto. There is a great strip mall right behind the hotel with many good restaurants. Parking is free, which is nice.
