Markham: hotel con bar

L'hotel è un po' vecchio, ma le strutture sono ok. La donna delle pulizie è molto gentile. La velocità di Internet è nella media. È un po' scomoda senza un forno a microonde. Sebbene l'hotel sia situato nel centro di Markham, è comunque lontano dal quartiere degli affari dei ristoranti cinesi. Sarà molto comodo se hai un'auto.

My wife and I recently spent three nights at the TownPlace Suites hotel in Markham, Ontario. We booked the room with our Bonvoy points, so I can’t comment on price. Markham is a suburb about 15 miles north of Toronto. We picked this location since it was near relatives we were visiting. It’s located on a fairly busy highway with various commercial businesses nearby. There is a Chinese restaurant (QJD Peking Duck), which we did not visit, on the first floor. The thirteen-story building actually holds two Marriott properties: Courtyard by Marriott on floors 2 - 8 and TownPlace on floors 9 - 14. The registration desk serves both hotels. The lobby has several areas for socializing. There also is a Bistro/Bar area. Conference rooms, a business center and a spa are off to the side. A fitness center and indoor pool are on the lower level. Wifi is free. Surprisingly, parking is not. Signs say that it costs $6 Canadian per day to park in the attached multi-level garage, but we apparently were not charged. Check-in was courteous and efficient. You need your keycard to access the elevator. TIP: There is no 13th floor; the elevator buttons go from 12 to 14! We were assigned room 915. TIP: the room was almost across the hall from the ice machine and one wall of the room directly abutted the elevator bank. While the noise was neglible, you might want to keep this in mind if you’re a very light sleeper. The room was clean and decorated in what I would call ikea style. It was like living in a studio apartment. A flat screen TV was on a two-drawer chest/dresser. A wall-mounted desk had overhead shelving, a vertical cupboard, desk chair and rollout table. The kitchen section had a sink, two-burner electric range top, coffee pot, microwave, dishwasher (!) and fairly large refrigerator. There were multiple cabinets and drawers filled with practically every kitchen item you’d need: pots, pans, dishes, flatware, soap, etc. And if they’re still something you might need, chances are you can get it from the front desk. (See pic.) A full-size closet contained an iron/ironing board. No sign of a safe. The sitting area contained a loveseat, ottoman and floor lamp. The king-size bed had five pillows. The bed was a little soft, but comfortable. It was flanked by nightstands and wall-mounted lamps with electric outlets. 
The bathroom was average-sized. The vanity had lots of counter space and several drawers. And a hair dryer. The shower was quite large, taking up about a third of the room. There was wall-mounted hand soap and hair/body wash (in the shower) by ALICE & Co+ botanicals. Shower pressure and temperature were fine. TIP: Don’t be alarmed when you flush the toilet - the sound is comparable to that generated by an airplane commode. Breakfast was included with the room and was served on the 14th floor. (Also requiring keycard access.) The offerings consisted of the usual combination of hot & cold items. Overall, we wer

Like the convenient location, modern interior design. Some basic amenities such as slippers, toothbrush and shower caps were made available upon request. While the staff are friendly, it took me a few attempts before my calls to the guest service were attended to.

This hotel was very easy to book through Titanium elite services. They made the process very easy and gave us a nice upgrade. They were very helpful with accommodating with the suite that offers a small full kitchen including dishwasher, silverware, microwave, regular size fridge, kitchen sink, coffee maker Lots of living room space and tv in living-room and bedroom. Easy for parking. They have space outside for large F250 trucks since a truck won’t fit in their covered parking.

La camera dell'hotel è buia e l'addetto alla reception non ha un atteggiamento amichevole, al contrario, la donna delle pulizie è gentile. L'hotel è fatiscente e le dimensioni del letto sono standard asiatici.

La casa ha colpito la porta YR ogni 8:30am, anche se lei ha messo la carta “No, service” fuori dalla porta alla data di check out.

The hotel is about 40 mins walk from the quaint, historic town of Unionville and about 45 mins drive from Toronto. There is a train that runs direct from Unionville to Toronto. There are a few restaurants in Unionville and Markham, close to the hotel. The lobby area is a great space with wide open bar and restaurant with an impressive ceiling helix-like decoration above them. The gym on the third floor had ellipticals, treadmills, bikes and plenty of free weights and several weight machines. There is a lounge on the fourth floor, sadly the coffee maker was not working on our visit, but thankfully we were offered delicious coffee from the coffee maker in the bar on the ground floor. We moved rooms because our first room looked out across the street to another block of offices and shops, which we did not like. The second room looked out over the parking area but at least there was no construction and the view was open and bright. A big thanks to Ashan (receptionist- I hope I didn't spell your name wrong) for kindly moving us and to the bar staff- Bernice and Watson for being so attentive. Thanks for introducing us to some delicious Canadian wine from Niagara! The rooms were clean but we were surprised to see that the cupboards and shelves were open and did not have doors to them like in most Marriott hotels.

Struttura molto fatiscente e poca pulizia nelle camere: la loro procedura è ogni 3 giorni peccato che non facciano nemmeno quella. Inoltre fate molta attenzione a quello che vi addebitano: dopo un check-out anticipato di sole 4 notti invece di 11 (a causa del servizio molto scadente della struttura) ci siamo trovati un addebito sulla carta per il totale dell'importo di circa 2400 CAD. Abbiamo mandato e-mail e telefonato molte volte alla struttura per far presente questa ”discrepanza” prima di bloccare il pagamento ma i signori fanno finta di nulla. Abbiamo fatto intervenire la piattaforma tramite la quale abbiamo prenotato ma, oltre ad un piccolo rimborso per il disagio subito, non abbiamo ancora ottenuto quanto ci spetta ma soprattutto la struttura non risponde nemmeno al servizio clienti della piattaforma. Sono dei truffatori, non ci sono altri modi per descriverli.
