Great value hotel in great location.
Pros:

The location and friendly staff.

Cons:

The room is on the main road side. It's a busy road and is very noisy through the night. If you're a light sleeper take ear plugs.

It's a great spot to go with my son(s) if seeing a concert or the guys for a weekend.
Pros:

Comfortable beds. Great location. Staff were super friendly.

Cons:

You get what you pay for. Some rooms have a private bathroom. I booked late and so had shared bathroom. Not a fan of that, but it is what it is and price is very reasonable for the location. Breakfast isn't served until 9:30 am which is insanely late. Dude serving breakfast (at the bar) is not the friendliest. BUT breakfast was fantastic. We opted to pay for full breakfast and you won't leave hungry if you get the special.

Ótima localização
Pros:

Otima localização,dá pra ir para as principais atrações da cidade a pé,assim como para a union station.Rua com muitas opções de alimentação e perto do NOFRILLS(rede de supermercados com preços baixos).Total sensação de segurança na regiao.Atendimento do staff muito bom,pessoal bem solícito.Serviço de guarda de bagagem.O Bar embaixo é bem frequentado(famílias,casais,turistas,) e nao incomoda o fluxo do hotel,nem o sono(pelo menos nos quartos que fiquei,me hospedei na chegada em Toronto e retornei por mais um dia para depois seguir para o aeroporto).Voltaremos.

Cons:

Tamanho do banheiro.Nao tem quartos no térreo e não tem elevador.
