Holiday Inn Toronto Downtown Centre by IHG
Sheets were stained but had been washed? Still not the best to see a pencil/pen heart in your sheet. The staff were great at check in and check out. People were complaining of noise and construction but it’s downtown so that’s kind of going to happen.

Room needed a bit of TLC. Headboard was torn in a few places but overall we had a nice room. Great size.

Fairmont Royal York
From the moment I walked in the doors, the staff were attentive and welcoming. A big benefit of staying at the Fairmont is not only the prime location and stunning rooms, but the staff are incredible. Highly recommend!
