Book a hotel near Toronto Zoo, Scarborough

"Wonderful"

"The worst vacation rental I have ever stayed in. No check-in available was available. Upon contacting one landlord, I was pressured to accept staying at another property, which is a violation of Expedia/Vrbo policy. I declined, and upon entering the property I booked, found that there was no bed, and was once again pressured to accept another property. Upon accepting this new property, it was empty. I had to ask multiple times for proper bedding, after spending four days on a train from Vancouver. Landlords do not appear to understand the difference between a Vacation Rental and a Permanent Rental. I left the property after four days in order to find more suitable accomodation with respectable landlords, my attempts to come to terms with a refund were met with the silent treatment. Shame on the people who operate this slum, and the people that enable them."

"Lovely stay and wonderful services! "

"This stay was located in the suburbs of Pickering. You have a separate entrance and will stay in the basement of the home. The stay includes a lot of amenities such as toiletries and cooking spices/oil. The wifi signal is strong and there's a guest login for some streaming services. This is a perfect stay for a solo traveler or a family of three. The washer/dryer and stove were a little dated but serviceable. I would book again!"

"Great Service and Welcoming Atmosphere I recently stayed at Hotel Inn in Pickering, Ontario, and had a very pleasant experience. The standout feature of this hotel is definitely the service—every staff member I encountered was friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed to care about guest comfort. There was always someone around to assist, and the team really keeps the place clean and well-maintained. The lobby is cozy and thoughtfully stocked with both dry and cold snacks, refreshing cold water, and a coffee machine that serves great hot and cold drinks—including hot water for tea. It’s a small touch, but it really adds to the overall comfort. There’s also a small gym and other amenities that make the stay convenient. Check-in and check-out were both quick and smooth. Honestly, I’d say this is one of the best hotel staff teams I’ve seen in Canada—efficient, kind, and always on the move keeping things in order. If I had to suggest improvements, I’d say the breakfast could be better, and the rooms could benefit from some odor control. A few bathroom upgrades in the future wouldn’t hurt either. But overall, this is a humble, welcoming hotel that does the basics extremely well. Would definitely stay again!"

"We rented this property while we were undergoing renovations in our own home. The location was perfect for us as we live in the same general neighbourhood. The townhouse had everything we needed to call somewhere home for six weeks. The only thing we missed was access to cable tv which is not available in the unit. The host was very responsive to any inquiries we had over the duration of our stay. Overall it was a pleasurable experience. This was our first experience using VRBO. "
