I stayed at the Holiday Inn Select Toronto Intl. during an overnight layover at Pearson Intl. on Feb 29/08.
Shuttle:
The shuttle goes by T1 every 20 min or so at stand S5. Large bus, not a dinky van. Friendly drivers.
Check-in:
Checking in was very fast and efficient. I was expecting problems since the reservation was in my girlfriend's name and with her credit card and her flight was cancelled and she was only rebooked for the morning, however there were no problems at all. The room was already paid for so they just took my signature for it.
Room:
I was on the 8th floor, right by the elevator. The room was very clean, very nice and well furnished. I was only there for a quick sleep so I didn't visit the pool or even turned on the TV.
Bathroom:
Again, very clean and well stocked, the shower had plenty of hot water and temperature was steady.
Food:
Had the buffet downstairs for breakfast. Great service from the wait staff. Food was alright, it was buffet so it's not expected to be fantastic. Very expensive, $23 for breakfast buffet, which they bill to your room.
Check-out:
Very quick, friendly and efficient. Paid for incidentals, got a receipt and was done.
Shuttle:
Quick shuttle, was at the hotel and got on right away. Dropped me off on the Departures Level right by my check-in aisle.
Overall:
Highly recommended. A+
