The AC only had heat for some reason so it was super warm until I asked for help and they provided a fan.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Downtown
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.

One King West Hotel & Residence
Excellent room. Male manager would not honour the extra food perk that was given by a female manager earlier on May 12 to make up for errors on check-in on May 11. He treated me like I was lying and obviously didn’t have any respect for me because I’m an older woman.
