"I was going to rate four stars, but I honestly couldn’t think of the justification to drop a star. Great one night stay in downtown Toronto. Cereal and toast is available in the morning. There’s two dishwashers so one is always available to put dirty dishes in. You have your cubby of a room; the mattress foam was like the cheese puff type of mattress, so there’s not really any resistance. I had no problems sleeping though. Towels are available, take when you need and a basket to toss in when done.
You walk in, nice person at reception who gives you a tour at check-in. First room is communal living area, so kitchen, living room with TV, some tables, conversation couch. In the first hall, there’s another hall to the right for men’s/women’s bathrooms (the doors could have been cleaner), laundry and women’s shower room to the left. Laundry seemed expensive, maybe $20/load. I didn’t use it, but newer machines. Then, you get to the “quiet area” where you pass through a door and have the sleeping cubbies/pods. Going full circle, the opposite side of the living area has the men’s shower and then study rooms. The study rooms are twofold: bar-style seating along a window, and then individual “meeting” rooms where you close out the rest of the world.
To get there, you go up sheltered stairs. It’s very close to the police station and US embassy/consulate, so solid police presence made me less concerned walking around.
Would stay again."
