Hotel in zona Sri Selvavinayagar Temple, Toronto

Buona permanenza. Solo le cose che lo rendono 4/5 sono che non danno le mutandine e il colazione è troppo basso.

Abbiamo visitato questo hotel per la prima volta e beh, purtroppo, ma non siamo rimasti completamente soddisfatti del servizio che abbiamo ricevuto. Abbiamo alloggiato nella camera 435 dall'11 al 12 aprile sotto il nome di Jokar. Quando siamo entrati nella stanza, abbiamo notato molta polvere sul bancone e sul pavimento. Sembrava che la stanza non fosse stata spolverata da alcuni giorni, il che era molto spiacevole e le lenzuola avevano macchie sporche. Abbiamo trovato una ciotola di gelato in frigo, che è stata lasciata lì dall'ospite precedente. Ho chiamato la reception e li ho informati del problema. Erano molto professionali e si sono scusati, cosa che abbiamo apprezzato. Hanno mandato una governante a prenderlo e buttarlo via. Nel complesso, ti ringraziamo per il tuo servizio, ma questa non è stata una buona prima impressione.

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.

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.

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

Before going to the hotel, we called to see if we could do an early check-in. They couldn't guarantee but said they would call if the room was available for check in. We killed some time before going to the hotel as they didn't call. We went to the hotel after the check-in time (3pm). The room wasn't ready, even though check in time had passed. They told us it would be ready ”soon” but ultimately it wasn't ready until almost 5pm, two hours late. This type of inconvenience is challenging, particularly when travelling with young kids who just want to get to the room. They told us that staffing was an issue because of a snow storm, which I could see being realistic in the morning, but by afternoon, most roads were clear. The room itself was fine, but realistically it was pretty small to be called a suite. The fridge doesn't even open the whole way before it hits the counter. My other major issue with this hotel was the amount of waste generated. The CEO of Hilton said (2021 Sustainability Report): ”There has never been a more important time to double down on our commitments and raise the bar on our environmental and social goals. In the coming year, as climate science and best practices continue to evolve, we will set more ambitious environmental targets that will help preserve the destinations where we live, work and travel, and pave the way to a net-zero future. ” Hilton has a priority of Preventing Waste and Contributing to a Circular Economy. Hilton's ambitions include a 50% reduction in waste by 2030, but there are some very easy quick wins that could be implemented at this hotel today (breakfast had disposable plates/bowls/cups/cutlery). In my observation, I did not see anyone take their breakfast to go. Simply swapping our their disposables with regular dishes and cutlery would be an easy way to reduce a LOT of waste. Going further, there's no reason that the bedrooms need to continue using the small shampoo/condition etc -- they should be transitioned to the larger, dispensing models.

Bene, c'è un microonde, c'è un frigorifero, e'che la stanza è un po' spazzatura, un po' come il suono dell'aeromobile esterno

Hotel recentemente ristrutturato (ancora nuovo!) - tutto era in forma top-top. Grande comodo letto, bel bagno con forte pressione idrica. Wi-Fi veloce. Come elite di Titanium, non ha ricevuto un upgrade, ma ha avuto accesso alla pantria, una stanza 24-hour con caffè, snack, pasticceria e dolci. Ha funzionato bene. Fantastico palestra e piscina, anche con un paleto! Starbucks nel lobby, questa è una scelta per i viaggiatori di business come me. Molto consigliato!

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.

Controlla veloce e facile, il personale del desk front era molto bello, avevano un piccolo bar e un piccolo spazio da mangiare, molto vicino a una piazza che aveva molte opzioni alimentari. anche se si andava in strada, erano tutti i tipi di ristorante e negozi. la navetta era molto lunga Attendere 30 minuti, anche se ho chiamato era ancora un lungo processo.
