This is a smallish high-rise very close to the Pearson Airport.
I have used this hotel a couple times. It seems to be a favorite of my employer's local sales force. When not co-ordinating with them I choose another (usually the Sheraton Four Points back behind the airport on Dixie Rd) due to shortcomings I mention below.
On the positive side, the rooms and common areas are cleaner and more nicely appointed than is usual at this price point. The pool and breakfast buffet is nicer than most. The location relative to the airport is about as convenient as it gets.
The parking lot is crowded, but that seems to be a problem with all the hotels near the airport. The lay of the grounds and the slope of the hill, however, make unloading the car here rather aggravating, especially when (as when I stayed here in Feb '07) it is -4 F and they didn't do a good job removing snow.
More important to me is the incomplete equipment in weight room. I don't ask for much: All I really need is a bench press and a set of free weights, or equivalent Nautilus-style machines. But the tiny exercise room doesn't have any free weights at all. There is no way, for example, to do curls.
The most glaring shortcoming, however, is poor compatibility of the internet connection. Linux/Mac/PDA users beware. The wired connection will not work with Linux (well, I got it to work with an artful hack, but I can't expect ordinary users to do what I did). The Wi-Fi won't work with a Palm TX PDA. This is unacceptable to me.
I left feedback to the management about these two shortcomings. If they fix the internet & put in a rack of free weights, this would be my favorite hotel in the area. Until then, I shall avoid it. If those shortcomings matter to you, I recommend you avoid it also; otherwise, it is a good choice.
