I had the opportunity to stay at The Novotel North York for a VT meeting September 2005. Located in the Northern section of the Toronto area this Novotel was a great place to stay with easy access from major highways and the hotel offers on site subway access to Toronto. I stayed in one of the "Novation rooms" they are recently renovated and boast: In room coffee and tea maker (first time I have seen Red Rose tea used) Room service was adequate and the checking in and out was quite good (however they did not mention the tax rebate for non-Canadian citizens, it was pointed out to me by Lori, otherwise I would not have known. The other two things I did not care for was The Mini bar...Big Brother is watching you...if you removed an item there was a sensor that automatically charged your room. The telephone never seemed to work, despite several attempts to use it. It did however, work for wake up calls. My cell phone charges .79 cents per minute and roaming charges, so I would have liked it if the phone made outside calls (even if it worked they still tacked on a useage fee. I recommend that Novotel make local calling free.
The views were great from the room. Being a solo traveler I appreciated the dead bolt locks on the doors, pay per view channel(s) Radio in room (this thing drove me crazy as there was no way to change the radio station and the alarm, despite turning the volume to off, the blasted thing managed to go off at strange times but never the at the time you would need it), Voice mail, WIFI Wireless Internet access High speed transmission line are complimentary or Web TV for a nominal cost, a Hair dryer in bathroom which was a very good dryer. The bed was large and comfortable (i needed a compass to navigate that bed! ;-) The shower is what I would like to highlight here. This shower was excellent, it had excellent force and it could be used either as a hand held or mounted shower nozzle. I took 2 showers a day because that spray was the best!
