Pros:

Best value for money we could find in Toronto. Central location, friendly staff and live music everyday downstairs on the ground floor. Luckily from our room we couldn’t hear anything so it didn’t bother us. The room was nothing fancy but clean and we had all we needed.. beds were comfortable and even if facing a main road I remember we could sleep just fine at night.. there’s no lift, so we had to carry the luggage ourselves but it’s max two floors it looked like so it was alright.. I definitely recommend if you’re on a budget..

Pros:

Great location, everything was walkable. The room has everything we needed for a family of four (although a fridge would have been nice, but there is a little shop across the road). The staff were really friendly and we could use the bar and restaurant with no cover charge. I didn't hear anything from the bar at all at night. Secure entry and exit to the hotel. There's a fantastic playground for children nearby called Grange Park. All round a great affordable place to stay in Toronto.

Cons:

The room was quite dusty, the walls and especially the windows and area around the curtains.

Perfectly adequate hotel for a short stay
Pros:

Perfectly adequate room for a short stay. I had the double with private bathroom. Good value. Can hear jazz from downstairs, not a complaint was pleasant but just good to be aware

Cons:

AC was noisy. Was there 5 days and didn’t get my room turned over at all

Pros:

Awesome location! Friendly staff! Went to Toronto for a ballgame and was within walking distance of the Sky Dome. Close to city hall and subway line.
Would definitely stay there again.
