Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Fabulous stay!

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
King Bed – Upgraded to King Suite.

How are the rooms?
Standard rooms are shoeboxes, 6M deep x 3M wide, barely enough room to walk sideways around bed.
Suites are 2.5x the size with a long hall, powder room, and separate living room/wet bar area upon entry with a pull-out sofa.
Then separate bedroom with full bathroom, glass shower. Bedroom in the suite alone is larger than standard rooms here.
HD TV in each room.

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A

What was good and what was bad?
Service at this hotel is outstanding. Top stars are Nellie at front desk and Darryl at the Thirty Lounge.
Gorgeous lobby, feels like a 4-star hotel.
Fantastic room upgrade & letter from GM, felt like a highly-valued IHG customer.
Hot breakfast buffet well worth the $18.99 – wonderful selection.
In the heart of the action, right next to Maple Leaf Gardens & College TTC subway, a ten-minute walk to Dundas Square/Eaton Centre.
One of the four elevators non-working entire four days. Very busy hotel, led to typical elevator waits of 3-5 minutes.
Rooms are a bit hot in the winter, even if you crank down HVAC wall unit to 60’, room still feels 76’.
I would advise cracking the windows open a couple inches to get closer to 70’.
Some channels not in HD (TSN etc.)
Only get alt-left propaganda options for news (CNN, CBC, CTV).

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Rates vary greatly, typically anywhere from $149 - $399. Rarely under $249 in the summer. At 30K, a bit steep on points for a HI. Will be back, though likely not during high season.
