Fairmont Royal York

10/10 Excellent

"Fairmont service was top notch esp when traveling with a baby."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto Airport & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect! Super friendly and very helpful staff, from front desk to room cleaning. Starbucks right inside the building and microwaves provided. 1 min to Shell gas station, 2 mins to Tim Hortons. Very convenient"

Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One unique thing about the Sheraton that my friend and I discovered was an underground pathway that leads towards different shops and leads you towards a 3 min walk to the Toronto Eaton Centre shopping mall. I liked how easy and fast it was to check in. All the staff were super friendly and the staff that would be outside handling valet were always super helpful with directions."
