Wonderful location. Clean and spacious room . The budget double was great for our needs. Staff were very nice and helpful. The subway was only across the road so all areas were easily accessible. Would definitely recommend.

A great hotel which is modern, very clean and fairly comfortable. The location is great, being right next to Porter station and near various shops and restaurants. The staff were also very accommodating and checked me in early without me calling...

Fantastic room, very clean and modern, well appointed. The staff made an extra effort to make our stay special as we were on our honeymoon - thank you!

Nice, looks upgraded, cozy and small hotel at Porter. Friendly stuff, valet parking (we stayed 3 nights), cleaning on request (didn't use it). Not big room. For a couple of us it was wonderful. Price was the cheapest in the area and hotel itself...

Very close to subway, nice choice of restaurants around. Cafe next door for breakfast or American diner along the road for more choice. Hotel was clean and well decorated, perfect for a short stay. Staff were very helpful
