Great location downtown Toronto. The room was small but nice and clean. Bed was comfortable. The best treat is the 27th floor adult pool, hot tub, and observation deck. Gorgeous!

Toronto Don Valley Hotel and Suites
Hotel smelled like pot smoke inside and out a lot of the times. Pretty good spot though. Needs some upkeep.

Cartier Place Suite Hotel
Room interior is old and tired looking but it is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Our room was a suite. Full kitchen was great. Only thing we needed was a spatula. Great location to restaurants, museums, and Byward Market. All walkable. We will stay here again for our next visit to Ottawa
