Stayed here just one night, was a Saturday and place was busy. Overall I was very pleased with the hotel, my room was great, the layout, bedding and condition of everything was as nice as many 4 star hotels.
The ac/heater unit was pretty noisy but didn't need to use it much, if it would had been very cold outside it would had been a problem but maybe the fan speed just needed to be turn down ?
The pop-ice machine was loud, many hotels have them in a separated room to keep the noise down, not so here. It was right in the hallway and I could hear them each time I went near the front door, since I was a few rooms down in 1007 it was quiet by the bed. There are a few rooms closer and those rooms must hear the noise throughout the room.
Noise level in my room for a Sat night was pretty good, no loud plumbing sounds, you could hear them at times but nothing too loud.
Elevators, yuck, there is only 2 of them and the hotel needs 3 or 4 of them. Was a good wait for them each time --even in the lobby and most times it was pack full of people and their luggage. They did work fine once you were in, so not that big of a negative, the nice room made up for the wait. Be better if there was a place to sit down on the 10th floor, in the lobby there are chairs near the lifts but not on the room floor, just a table. Most 4 star hotels have chairs to sit down on each room floor by the elevators.
Did have brunch at the restaurant next to the hotel, prices were good-$17 for a grill chicken salad but more chicken then lettuce and the plate was too small. Food was good and place was empty at around 11:30 am--it was pack Sat night and once I seen prices for entries at $37 or more I left and ended up at a place called Wimpy's just a few blocks north on King st, burger, fires and a soda was $15 before the tip--not no steak house by far, lol but it did have a bar-mix drinks if you liked.
I came up for business and Toronto seemed too far to go for just one night, with the hotel free parking and thanks to priceline it cost me less vs Toronto so it worked out well, wanted to stay in London but prices seemed too high for the star levels. Maybe cause it was Super bowl weekend or I waited too long to book. I book this hotel just 36 hours before my stay.
