Chelsea Hotel, Toronto
The staff were very helpful letting us have an earlier check-in time. What we didn’t like was that there are no grab bars in the tub to assist you when getting in and out of the tub and yes I realize most ppl have a cell phone, but a clock radio on the night stand would have been nice as it’s nice ...

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It was within walking distance to many of the attractions we wanted to see. The hotel room was clean and the staff attentive. I would highly recommend the hotel to others.
