Stay Report - 3/30 - 3/31
Location: The hotel is located on Airport Road very close to the entrance to YYZ. Around the hotel are a number of other chain hotels, a gas station and a 24 hour Tim Hortons! You can easily walk to and from Terminal 1 (Air Canada) as it's only 1 kM away and there are sidewalks the whole way. This means you can also get to the UP Airport Express train from the hotel very easily. I took an Uber back from the Trinity Bellwoods area of Toronto and it was $CAD 30
Hotel: I was impressed by the hotel. They have their own parking lot out from as well as a large expansive and comfortable lobby that has been renovated recently. There's a small business center and bar and restaurant there. Just off the lobby is a gift shop and on the lower level is a gym and indoor pool. The shuttle runs strange hours: 4 AM to 9 AM every 20 minutes, 9 am to 5 pm every half hour, 5 pm to midnight every 15 minutes and until 4 am every 30 minutes.
Check In: I arrived at 11:30 and was happy to be told I not only could check in right away but had been upgraded to a suite on the 9th (Club Level) floor. Because the lounge is closed on weekends (something I really don't like) I was given a coupon for an appetizer and non alcoholic drink at the bar and told I would get an American breakfast at the restaurant.
Room: Very nice and new feeling. It had a separate living room with desk and couch and TV, a bedroom with another TV and a nice enough bathroom. The shower however did not get very hot but that's my lone complaint.
This is a good hotel for an airport stay and because you can walk to the UP, it worked out pretty well for touring Toronto too. I'd be back
