Serious reviews of hotels - some great and others not so. I plan on expanding my hotel reviews based on Chains and Loyalty program, but for now, come here for a hodgepodge of hotels within the downtown core. Be sure to check out the info and links included within each review on the hotels' rewards program.

5.0 star rating
  9/7/2011

Lobby/Check In:

This lobby is what you would expect of a lobby from any Park Hyatt: Classic décor with high ceilings, marble flooring akin to some Georgian townhome of Belgravia in London and a concierge desk ready to cater to every whim.

4.0 star rating
  9/27/2011

This hotel is centrally located (Union Station) and is always very busy with conferences, group meetings, weddings and people passing by via metro station. However, this hotel has its charm - the décor is very grand and Titanic-era-ish.

The lobby can…More »

Neighbourhood: Harbourfront

4.0 star rating
  9/6/2011

Lobby/Check In:

The Radisson in my mind is a little bit older and grungy at times. Basically, a chain of hotels that meets basic needs. However, this Radisson far surpassed my expectations.

The lobby is clean and modern and extremely comfortable…More »

Check-in.

There was only one person at the check-in counter and it was actually brisk, efficient, and impersonal; A total of 10 minutes.

Room 1007.

I had a feeling that because I was staying for one night, I was going to get a room near the elevator. I…More »

I stayed at the Delta Chelsea by choice of location. I had a party to attend nearby and I knew it would be a late one (plus booze) so I booked a regular Delta Room with one King Bed (basic category). The hotel is huge and has the look of an older…More »

I was going to a party in downtown and the forecast was going to be snow and ice and cold. I knew it was going to be a late night, so I decided to book a hotel room downtown to prepare. But, I didn't feel like anything big and expensive, rather, the…More »

Category: Hotels

4.0 star rating
  2/29/2012

This hotel is centrally located (Yonge and Bloor) and it's a hotel I always miss. It is nothing ostentatious, nothing that says look at me, but I decided to check this hotel out due to a Yoga event I had to attend nearby. Right next to Bloor subway…More »
