Incredible staff. Best hotel experience I've had in years despite staying in more upscale hotels. The hotel isn't in amazing shape, infrastructure is old and management hasn't spent a lot to keep it updated. But the reason to stay here is the staff. Everyone says they go above and beyond but these employees really do, everything from hotel room refreshing to the helpfulness of the restaurant staff to the friendliness of the front desk concierges -- people working here are sincere, genuine, and welcoming. For a place that doesn't look like much this hotel's staff really made my stay a lovely one. I would come back for this alone. P.S. The breakfast buffet was very nice -- food was of good quality and they kept it replenished so that nothing ever ran out. That definitely didn't hurt either!

My partner and I stayed here during our recent trip to Toronto. It's located inside of the North York Centre, and they also have another entrance on Park Home Ave. I personally prefer entering via the North York Centre, as it's been so humid outside and I can appreciate the air conditioning. We booked our stay via Booking.com, and from there I left a note that it was my partner's birthday on Monday the 18th. The staff at the counter said Happy Birthday, and momentarily, we were given a gift that we didn't expect. There was a Pellegrino, an apple and some snacks, which we appreciate. The hotel is also located near Yonge Street, and there's so many amazing local businesses to support -- every other corner is a restaurant, bakery or a bubble tea spot. It felt like heaven on earth. We were on the 14th floor, the room came with a ton of lights, a TV, and a dedicated space for working remotely. I can appreciate how comfortable the chair was and having lots of outlets for me to work from the hotel for 2 days. My only issue is why did they think it was smart to put the AC vent on the far top right corner of the wall, where the curtains sit? There was also no way to move the curtains away from the vent. I found myself adjusting the temperature to 5 degrees Celsius (the lowest temperature the thermostat will allow me to adjust to), and I was still sweating. There was no oscillating or ceiling fan anywhere. I also noticed that they put a hold on my credit card the first night for the entire amount of the stay, and the staff was courteous with me over the phone and also checked to make sure that my bill is correct. This morning on our way to check out, I found our receipt on the floor of our door. Overall we had a good time and would be open to staying here and in this neighborhood again. I'd recommend this location to anyone in the area looking to stay in a safe area, with great public transportation, the area is super walkable, and it's filled with tons of restaurants and businesses. It's refreshing to have access to great options without being in downtown the heart of Toronto.

The notice that is sent to the neighbours.

This hotel will be a SHELTER soon. They made a contract with the city for $79.5M for 5 years to host 600 people with all amenities and food. I wouldn't spend $200/night in this hotel. Visit toronto.ca/3parkhome

This Novotel may be a little strange to a novice traveler. I've stayed on hotels all over the U.S. and Europe. Novotel tries hard to be "Euro." We made reservations online, which were a little tricky, but once we arrived in the lobby we had no problems checking in. You can park right under the hotel (easy access at the front doors), but there is a fee. The room was clean and not too cramped, but you can tell they are due for a renovation. We had no serious problems though. It was quiet and the water was hot. We chose this hotel based on a balance of price and location. It is more affordable than downtown Toronto, but you have to take the metro rail to get from North York to the downtown area. The hotel is attached to a mall, so you can go out the back of the hotel into a mall and have a selection of eateries and some shops. Walk a little further and you can take the escalator down to the rail and downtown is about a 30 minute ride. Decent place for tourists to stay if you have no fear of navigating cities by metro systems.

Roger's Stadium (Blue Jays), CN Tower and convention center were all in walking distance. I actually arrived early but my status was recognized and my room was ready. Staff were very friendly and responsive throughout my stay. I was upgraded to a one bedroom which was welcomed. The room was large and comfortable. Better than the family's last stay in SoCal. The only room issue i had was the location of the in room safe. It was on the top shelf of the closet and the closet door blocked the safe door from opening fully. The other issue was 1 out of 3 elevators was offline the entire stay. It did make the waits a little longer. On the second floor was a very small gym but it did have a multifunction weight gym and cardio equipment. A water dispenser was located here. The heated indoor pool and spa was in the room next door. Breakfast was decent with a rotating menu over my stay. Scrambled eggs, omelettes, pork or turkey sausages, egg bites, seasoned potatoes, etc were some of the hot offerings. Cereals, breads and prepackaged yogurts were some of the cold items. They had both regular and oat milk which was nice. One note was that you have to provide your name and room before being admitted. There was a good amount of seating and was never crowded. In the evening the bar was open. Would come back and stay here again.

They especially enjoyed looking out the large window at the convention center, CN Tower and Lake Ontario. It was also nice having the extra (1.5) bathroom. The beds were very comfortable to sleep on and the housekeeping staff was almost invisible (a good thing). Since we got club level, it was convenient to grab food and snacks in the club lounge. Quite kid friendly, although with toddlers we were a bit self-conscious of our kids being too loud and messy. You can imagine my terror when my 18 month old threw a cup of milk on the lounge carpet. Luckily, the lounge staff is wonderful and welcoming and were very understanding of this mishap. The pool is very nice and heated. A little less picturesque than the St. Regis pool (which is located on a high floor) and smaller than the Shangri-La pool but still very nice. There are other amenities that are good for kids such as a free treasure hunt, complete with a prize at the end. Ritz Kids also has other paid activities that we did not do like baking classes, in-room camping, movie nights and family picnics. The hotel itself is conveniently located near the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium, train museum and Rogers Centre. Most of these venues are within 10 minutes walking distance. I think it is also near the underground PATH, that connects many of Toronto's downtown buildings so you can avoid walking outside if so desired. Overall a great luxurious and family friendly hotel in downtown Toronto. Great for families visiting harborfront, CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium or Rogers Center. My only minor gripe is that the lobby is not particularly impressive.

This review started out as 3 stars but as the night continued it got worse…read more If you are traveling with little ones: We are traveling from US and booked a one night stay at the room with the stadium view ($$$$) which was great for our 2 toddlers energy. The hotel itself has Amazing customer service, great amenities, and an Amazing soft bed which I was looking forward too. Issue: The game was at 3pm and it is currently midnight as I write this review. The stadium lights are still on and shinning brightly through. Before booking, I looked up reddits and different posts that said 11pm is when the lights normally turn off. But at 11pm the stadium turned on either a loud vacuum or fan of some sort (and it has been on for the past hour).(( UPDATE: turns out it's Leaf blowers. TONs of employees using leaf blowers throughout the stadium to remove trash.)) (((2nd noise update: 330am-7am more loud machines, they are now power washing the seats/floors throughout the stadium, plus noise from employees chatting while working)). The hotel should at least provide some transpency and warn guests about the field doing maintenance because I would have rather saved a thousand+ dollars by just going to the game itself and picking a different room knowing we'd be getting a get a good night's rest. Maybe the hotel could provide sleeping masks since they cannot install decent floor to ceiling blackout curtains. Or how about providing earplugs? Either way... started off at 3 stars. now at 1 star experience. So if you or your toddlers are light sleepers this room is not for you. Also this room includes 2 high stools which i used to prop up against the bed for my wiggling sleeping toddler to not fall off as neither beds are near a wall.

More unfortunately, was that the Weekend was having two nights of a concert in the stadium and I faced the stadium. They had a large black tarp up, either so you could not get a free concert or to try to block out the noise. Block out the nice it did not. The hotel has a resturant that had this delicious Snickers Martini that was probably 10358 calories but it was so good I have like eight. The breakfast buffet was not horrible but also not great in some regards. They did not have skim milk which is okay but the selections were a bit lacking, esp of healthier options IMO. But it was still quite good. i had a voucher from my company so I could not tell you the price. The hotel is nice enough, the doors at the entrance are a case study in human factors engineering since you veer to the right to go in then sharply veer to the left to get through the ante room to the lobby. There are 4 elevators and there is a huge column that requires you go look at the floor indicator bar where there is an arrow adjacent that says if you need to look on the other side of the pillar for your cab. The staff was nice and the room was clean. There is a starbucks in the lobby that can charge your room but cannot use the app. https://youtube.com/shorts/UuKuv8EbVrg

And by that I mean coffee shops (I suggest visiting French Made), restaurants, some shopping, things like that. The lobby itself is pretty with a giant koi pond with a fountain-like structure in the middle. There's also the bar and some tables and chairs. Near the elevators you'll find a mini store with snacks, drinks, and things you may have forgotten to pack. My room was a good size and to my surprise the bed was comfortable and I was able to sleep rather well. One pet peeve of mine at hotels is when the shower is impossible to turn on without getting wet, which was the case here. The lighting in the bathroom also wasn't the best. Thankfully I brought my own mirror so I was able to do my makeup in front of the window. Overall, better than the average, but not quite five stars.
