Top Central Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Toronto Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Thanks for your accommodations"

Union Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel. Super convenient location and housekeeping and front desk staff were very pleasant. Bed was incredibly comfortable and overnight it was quiet. Maybe the best in-room coffee I’ve ever had. Pourover!? Yes please! Air conditioner is a bit loud, but so are air conditioners in almost all hotels. I was just fine with my earplugs. Room is small but it’s easy to tell from the room photos. I stayed alone, but if you are someone who travels with someone else and needs your space, this might not be the best fit. The night light built into the headboard was really nice as well."
