Book a hotel near Casa Loma, Toronto

"I've never written a hotel review but I felt compelled to do so with the Annex. Pros - Price. - Location. - Staff was very helpful and friendly. Cons - The "no-touch" checkin processes is frustrating and we were given an incorrect door code. - If you're sharing the room, privacy is some-what limited b/c the bathroom is only separated by a frosted shower door. - Our room's lights flickered constantly. - Some signs of wear that could easily be remedied - peeling paint, duct tape on the pendant lights, etc. - The unit was extremely cold when we arrived, it took a few hours to finally warm up. - We requested a late checkout but were woken up by housekeeping. - By far, the worst aspect of the Annex was the noise. The walls are paper thin. We could hear every footstep above us (which went well into the night). Further, we could clearly hear conversations in adjacent units. If you're looking for a quiet spot, this may not be it. "

"This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel, and both experiences were excellent. My son is in school in Toronto, and I drove up from Michigan to see him for five days. I found this place just by reading reviews, and honestly the first time I chose it, I was only worried about parking. The parking lot is not owned by the hotel, so it isn't free, but it's a public lot that's connected to the property, so one can just park in the garage and take the elevator up to the hotel. The fee was, I thought, very reasonable. As to the hotel--it's clean, elegant, with a kind of international vibe. The room service menu is small, but really good--so much so that my son wanted to get room service instead of going out a couple of times. The very best part of the place, however, is the staff. They are super friendly and helpful. After visiting in early September, I came back two months later, and the room service gentleman (so kind and friendly!) remembered me and my son! I travel a lot, and I have to say, this is something I haven't encountered often. I really felt welcome--the place is definitely my Toronto 'home away from home.' Oh, and it's across the street from a TTC station, too! I will be back often. "
