I wont recommend this hotel to anyone
Pros:

The room was clean - thats it

Cons:

The car park is risky - the roof is below standard - Im surprise how they got approval to operate this car park - although they are charging for it - the SUV touched the pipes hangging from the roof twice although im driving a standard car without and external attachments - the car part is so dirty with 2-4mm of dirt over the floor - lifts are dirty as well - breakfast is below poor. I complained to the management , completely ignered , saying that car park does not belong to the hotel which is unture because they a full floor flagged as double tree and reception charge for the stay - no need to mention that no one could sit in the lobby due to dirty , stained futniture

Everything was fine; except they overcharge us for breakfast which was supposed to be included.
Pros:

The hotel is well located in a newly developed north Toronto location.

Cons:

We booked the hotel room for 3 nights with breakfast included for two guests. They charged us breakfast for the third day before our departure. We are asking for a refund of this overcharge. Not sure what is the outcome yet.
