Fantastic
Just off of Upper St. James Street, just a few minutes away from the airport, there was a tonne of parking in the underground parade. Check in was a breeze. The lobby and other common areas clean and well designed. Our room was clean and good repair. Bed comfortable. Bathroom a good size. My one criticism would be that there wasn't floor mat in the bathroom. As such a towel was needed to clean a spill which showed how dirty the tiled floor is. Just awry if wearing your white socks. Common areas on our floor, the 2nd, was starting to see some wear and tear. All things considered, we will stay here again as a the starting point for our Southern Ontario adventures.
