What is your Club Carlson status? Concierge

Where did you stay? (Brand, Location, Country)Radisson Toronto Admiral Harbourfront

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Yes, very. Surprised how good noise proofing it has since all the bars, band shell, expressway and airport are close by.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive? Booked standard room, got corner studio suite, top floor, excellent views of pool, lake front, harbour, airport, etc. It had a fancy espresso machine, also had robes that I wore going to and from the pool (apparently only suites have robes, so staff saw me and gave me the VIP treatment, the bar tender told me)

Did you receive elite benefits? 11 am check in, Late check-out at 1pm , in-room welcome gift of nuts, apples, water, letter, breakfast for two, 2 comp drinks at bar (anything under $10)

How are the rooms?
The studio suite, is large, has shutters vs curtains, modern decor, a telescope to see the view, airport and pool. Modern, functional. Light colors. It helped it was a sunny weekend, so I felt surrounded by water and sun.

What was good, what was bad?
Great location in the heart of the harbour, nice heated pool with cabanas, great views, starbucks on site. Parking was only $20 with in and out privileges. Plenty of restaurants, 24 hour shop in front and supermarket 5 minutes away.

Value for money or Gold Points? Would you return?
Was quite a deal points wise, since rates at $350 (paid 44K), but fantastic lakeside location that only the Westin Castle has. Other Toronto hotels are deep into the city and don't have lakefront access.

PS - Anyone can use pool for a $40 day pass, popular with young rowdy crowd. Only advantage is that there are plenty pool servers, and they are fast.
