DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Downtown
"Great location and very friendly welcoming staff. Nice little pool and gym area and good breakfast. Only negative is room size - we were a family of 4 in a room with 2 king beds but the room was quite small so no real space for luggage. Otherwise good downtown hotel"

"It’s old. Unclean. Frequented by some interesting characters. Oh and the staff are not exactly set up for hospitality. Best avoid. Unless you just need a cheap(ish) place to crash."
