Great Room & View


We stayed Toronto Airport Hotels for three nights. Pluses: room decor, spaciousness and view of the main highway was great. It looks like another tower is being built across the street though so I wonder if the view of the high way in some of the rooms will be affected by this in the future. Appreciated the controls by the bed. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The breakfast area/lounge on the second floor was nice. Breakfast items included breads, pastries, cheeses, cold cuts, lox, bread pudding, yogurt, juices and a nice coffee machine that makes espressos, caps, lattes, etc. It's about $20pp though which I feel is a little pricey for a basic spread like this. It's really more for the convenience that one would have breakfast in the stagewest since there isn't much in the immediate vicinity and you'd have to walk up a few blocks before you reach other cafes and restaurants. It's a short walk to the St. Lawrence Market and the PATH is connected through Union Stn/Air Canada Center, which is convenient if the weather isn't nice enough to walk in. Union Station is convenient for striking out on the subway.
One can take a shuttle from the airport to the Fairmont Royal York and then walk down a couple blocks to the hotel. The driver told me that I should have let him know I was staying at this Toronto Airport Hotels as he could have dropped me off so that I didn't have to walk down (the bus passes right by the hotel). My husband brought a car with him when he joined me for a couple days and valet was easy though a bit pricey. I suppose it's representative of most hotels in the city though. The rainshower was nice but I think the fixture needs to be decalcified as a number of the openings didn't have water coming through. The pressure was a little on the light side which could have been a result of the clogged openings or water pressure or both. The room had a Nespresso machine in it but they charge $2/capsule.
I thought that was a little disappointing considering the room rates and the fact that each capsule is less than $1. Also, note that there's no iron and ironing board in the room. I'm assuming they'd make one available if you asked or you may need to send your item out for ironing. Overall though, very nice property.
