The
hotel
is
located
directly
across
from
the
Convention
Center
and
just
minutes
away
from
the
Toronto
Airport.
Shuttle
&
Parking
-
The
hotel
does
offer
airport
shuttle
service
(call
to
confirm
hours)
and
some
limited
service
to
nearby
places
(car
rental,
other
hotels,
etc.).
They
do
have
onsite
parking
for
$20-$25
per
night
(May
vary
depending
on
Bonvoy
Status).
The
lot
is
in
the
rear
(you
can
access
the
hotel
from
a
rear
entrance)
and
is
gated.
We
took
a
star
off
of
Service
for
the
Shuttle
Driver.
Our
first
driver,
almost
seemed
like
he
demanded
a
tip.
During
our
ride
back
to
the
airport
another
shuttle
driver
never
even
left
his
seat
to
unload
passengers.
Check
in
-
Was
very
smooth.
Our
flight
arrived
very
early,
so
with
our
Bonvoy
status,
we
were
able
to
check
in
early
and
hit
the
ground
touring.
Because
there
were
many
large
parties
attending
conventions,
we
did
not
get
a
room
upgrade.
But
we
were
okay
with
just
checking
in
early
and
dropping
our
bags.
Rooms
-
We
reserved
the
2
queen
bed
room,
but
was
hoping
for
an
upgrade
to
the
2
queen
bed
suite.
Having
a
daughter
that
is
currently
flying
planes,
the
room
was
perfect
as
it
overlooked
the
runway.
The
room
was
basic,
2
beds,
desk,
refrigerator,
closet,
bathroom.
We
took
one
star
off
because
the
bathroom
had
no
ventilation.
After
showering,
the
bathrooms
would
stay
steamy,
thus
making
the
floors
slippery.
I
e
had
to
leave
the
bathroom
door
open.
Unless
you
request,
not
all
rooms
have
a
microwave.
We
were
fortunate
enough
to
have
a
great
Housekeeper
(Gita),
that
kept
our
room
clean
and
new
and
fresh
towels
daily.
Amenities-
The
hotel
has
a
few
restaurants.
Orchid
Cafe
for
breakfast,
offers
a
buffet
and
a
la
carte
menu.
See
attached
Menu.
Our
waiter
Kazi
was
awesome
and
engaging.
The
Ginko
Japanese
restaurant
offer
Japanese
cuisine-
Menu
attached.
Lot
41
is
their
Bar/restaurant
that
offers
quick
food
-
Menu
attached.
Beware,
as
one
night
we
were
told
the
menu
was
limited.
And,
we
noticed
a
difference
in
options
when
ordering
room
service
and
going
to
the
restaurant.
The
do
have
a
pool,
exercise
facility,
onsite
car
rental,
Starbucks
in
the
lobby,
Gift
Shop/store,
ATMs,
baggage
hold
area,
and
Currency
Exchange
(As
with
most
places
they
have
their
fees…..
Banks
give
the
best
rates).
Getting
around.
I
highly
encourage
anyone
coming
into
to
town
to
rent
a
car.
On
our
first
day
we
tried
the
Uber
thing
and
with
traffic,
we
paid
more
in
one
day
of
Uber,
then
for
a
3
day
car
rental.
May
have
been
peak
season
or
the
holiday,
but
getting
into/out
of
the
city
was
crazy.
With
the
car,
it
allowed
us
to
see
more,
Niagara
Falls,
CN
Tower,
Waterfront,
etc.
****Please
note
that
this
hotel
is
in
the
line
of
arriving
planes.
You
will
hear
planes
✈️
flying
in,
so
much
so
that
our
room
even
had
ear
plugs.
