We picked this hotel due to it's location and proximity to the Toronto Zoo. We had no difficulties getting to the hotel or finding the hotel for that matter and that was a huge plus. Problem is...it's right off the 401...and yes, you can hear *some* traffic at night if your room is facing the highway.
Well....I'll start with the great parts about this hotel. As I mentioned, location and ease of finding the hotel was a bonus. The staff.....couldn't say enough about their wonderful hospitality. Every single staff member was happy (genuinely) and helpful! The decor of the hotel was pretty nice....felt kind of "high end". Hotel room itself was cozy and clean. Bathroom was nice and roomy....tub was fine....water pressure was great. That about sums up the up-side of our stay....
The first thing I need to say is that the food is TERRIBLE at the hotel. It is also VERY overpriced. $60 for a dinner buffet for my husband, myself and our son (kids eat free too). I almost threw up from the cost of the food and from the taste. I sampled at least everything at the buffet, including the desserts, and it was honestly terrible. I'm not a fussy eater either...and I was starving from our busy day! It was certainly not satisfying. Next......we specifically picked this hotel as well for it's awesome waterslide! Well....we get to the hotel and.....the pool was closed due to repairs. Our son was SO bummed out....as were we....because we had been so looking forward to going into the pool. What was even worse was the kiddie pool....it was open, but there were 20-25 children crammed into it and no staff member keeping an eye on how many were in the pool. Sadly, the pool reopened as we were checking out the next morning....and my son had to walk by the kids sliding down the waterslide he wanted so badly to. Total bummer.
So, overall....we *might* go back, but we certainly will NOT eat there by any means and I will ask for a room that does not overlook the 401.
I'm unsure if I'd highly recommend this hotel....but I'm also not totally disappointed with it. Rooms were great, staff was great, location was great.....but ammenities and food really blow.
