A nightmare of a Hotel
Pros:

The hotel is placed in a bad part or town. There was hyperdermic needles on the side walk just outside the door, with a male possibly over dosing. There were more needles in the parking lot. The room had an in window AC unit that had board surrounding it but had chunks missing so you could clearly see outside. Not a safe neighbor. The hotel is dingey and you do t get your own bathroom it is shared.

Pros:

The place is run-down and old we got a room with two twin beds but we had to share a bed because the one bed was the creakiest bed I have ever seen my entire life. The walls were super thin and I could easily listen to everyone else's conversations. It may say there's a TV. But the tv is a fatback - round screen one and there isn't even a tv connection so it's useless. But the AC worked so that's good

Please remove that location from hotels.com. Now.
Pros:

My stay at that location was awful. There was actually not a hotel or suites, it was more like a halfway house or a boarding house. I was horrified. I had no choice but to stay one night, but I got my money back. I feel the place should be condemned. I will send you some pictures. For example. Over the bed was a cracked and moldy skylight that was disgusting. The room smelled. The blanket had a cigarette burn and some stains on it nasty. In addition, the shared bathrooms were gross and there was wiring that was hanging out all over the place. I have pictures.

It’s « okay »
Pros:

Very average, plus side is that you’re near/in downtown toronto. I only stayed 1 night, for me it was fine. you might want to upgrade if you need more comfort.
They do charge a 300$ « in case of damages », that should be reimbursed within 1 week. This remains to be seen.

Better than expected but NO ON SITE PARKING
Pros:

The room and the location were great, better than expected, the only problem was that they lie about parking. There is NO ON SITE PARKING. Which was what made us book this over an other hotel. We had to park on the street and stress about the car, as we did not want to pay $15 for the parking lot opposite when we planned to get onsite parking included in our booking.

Borderline crack shack
Pros:

You get a 10x8 room with a bed thats private, everything else is shared. No privacy, tweakers hanging out by the front doors. Ended up staying somewhere else as we didnt feel comfortable

Possible bed bugs, but even worser management
Pros:

My best friend routinely checks her beddings immediately upon entry of the room to be safe and found a dozen black spots at the seams of the most bottom bedsheets. Upon discovery, my friend did not feel comfortable staying there as she took photos and confided in her dad and public health under the suspicion that the spots were from bed bugs. When we went to the front desk, I stated that we would like to check out and I don’t need a refund, but that I do not want to be charged for a $300 deposit for black spots that were already there prior to our entry. The manager immediately asked where did we come from and twisted it as if we brought the bed bugs before he even sent any employee to check and/or verify our claim. My friend and I arrived separately but was there for no more than an hour, altogether. Even if the manager does not like being accused of uncleanliness, he should not be so rude to deflect it back to clients without any effort to compensate or make amends first. They later offered us to go to another room, but the damage was done. The service and attitude from the manager ruined any desire to ever come back and once I had confirmation that they won’t charge the deposit of $300, which may still happen by the likes of previous bad reviews… my friend decided that we ought to report the hotel to Public Health for an inspection. If the manager simply apologized, offered a different room, advised they won’t charge the deposit, then I would have just accepted the lost.

Pros:

Sketchy part of town; it felt unsafe for our daughter. Fire alarm detector's low-battery beeping triggered our daughter :( Nice cleaning/maintenance staff. Person answering the phone was rude and sarcastic. Weird layout of area. No accessibility/Only stairs.
