Courtyard Toronto Downtown

Frommer's Review

Anyone who knows the Marriott chain of hotels knows that its Courtyard hotels are usually out of the city center, not smack-dab in the middle of things. This bright and shiny property near Yonge and College is an exception, convenient both to the Financial District downtown and to the chic cafes and shops of Midtown -- a claim few other hotels in the city can make.

The lobby, with its double-sided fireplace, has a surprisingly intimate feel given the size of the hotel (truth be told, it's due to the fact that tour groups have a separate reception area). The guest rooms don't tend to be big, but they do have a lot of comforts, including windows that open, high-speed Internet access ports, and a second sink outside the bathroom. Ongoing refurbishments keep guest rooms looking fresh rather than lived in. While Courtyards are generally regarded as business hotels, this one has family-friendly facilities such as a children's wading pool.
