Great for a short stay in downtown Toronto. Close to Distillery District, St Lawrence Market, etc. I've read other reviews about the area being sketchy and I kind of get it because of the homeless (but generally harmless) people hanging around nearby, which I guess is not uncommon downtown. Personally, I didn't encounter any issues with safety. You just have to be aware of your surroundings. Room was nice and clean, only issue was that I was given one on the 2nd floor, at the very end of a long hallway with several stairs. It was a pain because I had a lot of bags, but staff did offer to help, which was nice. I was also able to do laundry in the basement where they had a washer and a dryer. It was convenient for me, but the dryer and the room itself does need some cleaning as there was dust/lint flying everywhere.
