Good Value
Pros:

Close to the TTC streetcars. Like 5 minute walk.
Close to shopping and restaurants and coffee shops.

Cons:

When returning late at night, there were many drug addicts near the hotels parking lot and entrance.
Sketchy neighbourhood after dark. Just get an Uber to the front door. I’d stay again.

Great stay for the night.
Pros:

Not the fanciest, but a great little hotel off the main drag and in a quiet community. Close to good restaurants and parking right at the hotel. Out door parking but everything is monitored. The rooms were small, but had everything. Microwave, stove top, kitchen sink, dishes and utensils for 3 people, TV, air conditioner (little noisy). Staff were great, smiles and helpful.

Cons:

Air conditioner was a little noisy, bed was was a little small.

Paid $250 to stay in a shelter
Pros:

The only positive thing I can say was the 2 staff were very kind. The room was very outdated but it was clean

Cons:

The fact it was a shelter!!! And people were doing drugs at the entrance. I couldn't open a window because the people were screaming non-stop. I didn't feel safe at all. I can't believe I paid over $250 plus parking to stay in a shelter. I was actually planning on contacting booking.com to see what can be done about this.

Cons:

Cons:

Due to FIFA gouging and greed we had minimal options financially for a room, stayed at the Hilton in January for about $250/ night, it’s now $1600!😡, my husband had surgery scheduled at Toronto Western early in the morning and an early morning follow-up appointment the next day, we had no choice but to stay in the city. The hotel was 5 minutes away from hospital so location was good, Uber was cheaper. The hotel itself is very old and out of date but clean and relatively quiet except for the constant sirens and people hanging around outside, strong odour of maijuana outside, no amenities, front door was locked at all times, needed a key to get in, the one bed was so noisy that when my husband moved it jolted me awake, room was very small so no room for a comfortable chair to sit on. Given the circumstances we were thankful for the room and the friendliness of everyone. As long as I live I will NEVER patronize a Hilton Hotel anywhere, again!!

Pros:

nothing

Cons:

My experience was very disappointing. The receptionist was very unpleasant and unwelcoming from the moment I arrived. The room, as well as the hotel in general, seemed very old and poorly maintained. Cleanliness also left a lot to be desired.

Honestly, for the price I paid, I expected much better.

Horrible centrally located neighbourhood, basic accommodations
Pros:

Horrible neighbourhood with drug addicts and homeless people hanging out just outside the front door all day. Although the neighbourhood location was very central and convenient, the horrific human tragedies at the front door makes it so we would never use it again.

The room was clean and basic, double bed and single bed with a small kitchenette was convenient.

The staff was helpful and pleasant.

Parking was cheap and convenient where we could use it even the day we checked out.

Cons:

See above
