3 reviews for Clarion Hotel & Suites Selby
All Reviews
The neighborhood where this hotel is located is scary. Yes. Scary. And I'm from Brooklyn, NY! My first night here, I decided to wander around to see where everything was, and I swear I saw a crackhead pop out of the bushes.
But, while the neighborhood was a bit shady, a plus is that it was located right next to a train station... and there was a McDonald's and a few other eateries nearby. Plus, it was in short walking distance to some great shopping!
The rooms could've been a tad bit bigger. The bathroom was decent... but I could've have done without the big ass spider that tried hiding in one of the corners. Hotel rooms have refrigerators and coffee makers. Overall, I didn't have any problems with the place. It was cheap, so you get what you pay for. Continental breakfast was included... and although it wasn't THAT GREAT, it was nice not having to pay for breakfast. The people at the front desk were very pleasant.
We stayed here because we read Hemingway stayed here (about 90 years ago). It was not so great then and it's worse now. There wasn't much sound insulation to the next room and the room itself is not so great. The whole atmosphere is sketchy.
Toronto is one of the best cities in North America, for a place to stay, you can do much better than we did!
If you are interested in writing, you can stop by to just see. And if you are a cultural adventurer, it's an adventure.
The halls smell like death. The room was tiny. Despite a lot of other promotional things I've seen on this hotel, there is not a microwave and fridge in every room. There was construction outside our window that overlooked a massive hole. The air conditioning was loud, the room was hot, and there was no way to open the windows (we could open the bathroom window, but again there was a massive, and loud construction pit under our window). The staff was disinterested. The wireless internet did not work for me at all. I was not impressed with the breakfast which was packed of carbohydrates, there was little fruit or protein. The parking lot was tiny and overpriced. I had a difficult time getting my car out without nearly hitting several vehicles.
The only real redeeming aspect of this hotel is that it was easy to flee, close to the subway, and we didn't have to stay there all day.
The hotel is moderately priced, but I don't think it's a good value for what you do pay.
