Chelsea Hotel, Toronto
Great location downtown Toronto. The room was small but nice and clean. Bed was comfortable. The best treat is the 27th floor adult pool, hot tub, and observation deck. Gorgeous!

Hotel smelled like pot smoke inside and out a lot of the times. Pretty good spot though. Needs some upkeep.

Pros: Nice location, central to shopping and food options. Cons: Building condition quite old, no noise control with AC, walls or windows. Be prepared to sleep with earbuds.

Cambridge Suites Toronto
The room was clean. The staff was friendly. It was a great location with a grocery store across the street and near a Tim Hortons and only a 15 minute walk to the sea Tower. We would definitely stay here again.
