Check in and out were efficient and easy. We arrived early & had no problem getting into our room. Loved the plush linens and very comfy bed. Room was quiet and just wonderful. We hated to leave, this was our favorite on our 5 hotel vacation.
Unique Quality: 1. Location was fabulous, the metro was on the corner & we were able to walk the City.
2. Breakfast was impressive. I loved the omelet man & my husband enjoyed the waffles, pancakes & pastry station.
3. The fitness center & indoor pool were pretty extensive.
4. Complimentary laundry facilities were appreciated. While I was loading an employee gave me a cold soda.
5. Staff was just so friendly & helpful from housekeeping to security.
I wandered in here after a loooong day of traveling and visiting. My roomie let me stay here pro bono, so I can't speak to the cost or value, but I can tell you about my experience ... I found the room comfortable enough for 2 adults and all their gear, the bed was exceptional and allowed me a fantastic rest, the staff members I came across were helpful and courteous .... each of these things led to a restful and comfortable experience at this hotel.
Unique Quality: The hotel is close to theaters, adult entertainment venues, stores, and great multi-ethnic grub. Easily accessible from the local subways, this is a nice place to stay to be right in the thick of things :)
This hotel was rated as a 3 star, but I guess I didn't see how it would get that rating. Maybe for the business traveler, but for the tourist I would say its a 2 or 2 1/2 star really. I booked it on Priceline and got a really really cheap rate, so what am I complaining about? The room was average, but the linens were the less fluffy kind and there was nothing truley memorable about the decor. The location was good with access to the subway less than a block away. There was also coffee shops and a drug store right downstairs. The staff was helpful and the valet parking was very convienient. The breakfast buffet was reasonable and very good.
Unique Quality: They had a pool / work out area in the basement with a narrow lap pool, a jacuzzi and a small shalow pool for kids. I guess the only outstanding thing here is the service the staff gave. A woman at the door walked us down the block to show us where the subway stops and we got a discount from the server at breakfast.
Directions: Harbor to Yonge Street north to the intersection of College.
Stayed at the Courtyard Toronto Downtown at the end of August. I was impressed by the location (right off of Yonge Street) and near shopping, restaurants and the subway. Rooms were clean and spacious and the staff was attentive. Pool and gym in the basement were a nice touch. Would definitely stay there again. The price was pretty good for downtown

ROOM
*Was not able to reserve room preference in advance due to using Priceline (preferred non-smoking, king bed, quiet area)

We stayed at Courtyard Downtown for four nights last month and had a wonderful experience! This hotel is in one of the best locations in T.O., with easy access to both streetcars and subway. Lots of stores and restaurants of every type within an eyeshot of the hotel.
The rates were equally convenient, but beware that if you're paying cash for your room as we did, you will be charged a C$50 deposit per night!
The Courtyard hotel is a great hotel in a great location. The room is large, clean and comfortable and has free internet access.
The rooms near the elevator and ice machine could get very noisey. I could hear the ice machine being used from my room which was at the far end of the corridor.
If you are going to the airport then ask the hotel about the airport service as they offer town car transport to the airport which will cost you less than getting a taxi.
If you plan to stay at the Courtyard for more than 7 nights then they offer a special Long Stay rate which a lot of the popular room booking websites do not seem to offer so shop around and you could save yourself another 50%.
When I went to Toronto (late September early August) there was a lot of building work happening all over Toronto and especialy next to a number of the other hotels I considered.
We just got back from another great trip to Toronto. We've been to Toronto numerous times, but this was our first time at this hotel. Very comfortable rooms, like most other Courtyard hotels we stayed at, but this one seemed more spacious to us. The location is absolutely perfect--very convenient to buses, subways, and inexpensive valet parking. Of course, if you've been to Toronto, you know that Yonge Street is "where it's at." Lots going on all the time, and you're right there. I like this hotel as well as any I've used in Toronto.
Only three hotels in Toronto have a tour desk for the major tour companies--and Courtyard is one of them. They were quite helpful to us.
I highly recommend this hotel. The rates are inexpensive to moderate (the hotel's website offers deals to AAA/CAA members).
The hotel looks rather new. Our room was comfortable and extremely clean, and was kept so our entire stay. It's centrally located, and parking is available ($20 CND for Valet parking, $15 CND for self parking). There is a full service restaurant on the premises, a good place to grab breakfast before heading out for the day. There is also a nice bar there, but there are so many great places to go in Toronto we didn't spend any time there.
My only gripe (and it's not a complaint, and it's a very minor gripe at that) is the fact that the sink is seperate from the bathroom. The layout of our room sometimes made it a hassle to run from the bathroom to the sink. It was handy when my b/f was in the shower and I wanted to use the sink, though.
Location and physical structure are first class, while prices (via Priceline) offer great value. The rooms are clean and quiet and the staff are friendly and accommodating.
Bathroom and closet on the small side, but the room is big enough to spread out in.
Hello
I currently live in Montreal.
I will be going to Toronto in three weeks. I am looking for a hotel in Markham. Any hotel will be fine for me, as long as its near or in Markham.
Markham is exit 383 on the 401.
Thanks
Last time I was in the area on business I stayed at the Marriott Courtyard Inn in Markham.

Nothing special, but convenient for work. There are a whole slew of places to eat just north of there up East Beaver Creek Rd.
Thank you very much, that will really help me out!
