Онтарио, Канада: отели на тему «Романтические»

До Ниагарского водопада из Торонто было недалеко, и мы решили остановиться в Radisson, так как это один из многих отелей, из номеров которых открывается вид на водопад. Регистрация заезда и отъезда прошла гладко и оперативно. Номер был чистым и уютным, с прекрасным видом на водопады Horseshoes. Расположение отличное. 20 минут пешком до водопада или 5 минут на поезде Incline Train, который находится неподалеку.

Мы были в номере 903, из него открывался потрясающий вид на водопад Подкова! Кровати были великолепны. Это было в нескольких минутах ходьбы от множества ресторанов. Парковка дорогая, поэтому мы заплатили 20 долларов за ночь в отеле в квартале отсюда. Внешняя часть наших массивных окон была очень грязной, что разочаровывало, учитывая, как много мы хотели насладиться видом. Когда мы попросили дополнительное одеяло, на стойке регистрации нам сказали, что у них нет дополнительных одеял! Нелепый. Цены на обслуживание номеров были довольно высокими, поэтому мы пропустили это.

Этот отель стоил того, чтобы потратиться!! Отличное расположение, персонал очень дружелюбный и любезный. Они всегда быстро помогали, а номера были суперчистыми. Бассейн и тренажерный зал тоже были очень хорошими.

Общая атмосфера кажется такой, будто за последние 30 лет она не изменилась. Кроме того, меня удивило, что доступ к Wi-Fi платный, что показалось очень устаревшим, поскольку в последние годы я не встречал отелей, где за Wi-Fi взимается плата. Хотя ваш отель классифицируется как четырех- или пятизвездочный, предоставленный фен оказался довольно разочаровывающим — скорее напоминал то, что я ожидал бы в двухзвездочном мотеле.

The hotel is ideally situated of the front of the lake with the ferries to the islands just outside. An underground stop is just across the road with links to Union station and elsewhere. There are also a selection of buses that pass and a hop on hop off stop is about 10 mins walk. You can walk most places in central Toronto from hotel if you wish and are happy walking. You can choose which street suits you best on your walk and change route for variation as only a block apart and will all get you to central Toronto. You are maybe about 15 mins from the Blue Jays and CN tower so hotel is in a great location. Billy Bishop airport is about a 20 min walk and would be convenient if you can get flights to or from there to your destination. The communal areas in the hotel look very nice, as is the entrance if being dropped off by car. However there is work going on around the outside of the hotel and if walking to and from the hotel it isn’t so pleasant on the eye. My bedroom was spacious but felt dated and would be nice to see a more updated look. However the view onto the lake more than made up for that minor irritation. The staff were all great and helpful when asked. There was various things going on from regular activities in the leisure area to free ice cream and wine ( not together unfortunately ) and music in the afternoon. The leisure facilities were great with a pool, sauna, steam room and gym as well as an outside area (5th floor) for sitting outside while the kids could play. There was a tennis court and a basket ball hoop. There was also an oppertunity to use cycles and go for a run possibly with a guide. We didn’t eat at the hotel so couldn’t comment but the did have a restaurant on the top of there south tower that would give great views. We did grab a coffee and snack from across the street and would enjoy sitting on the benches just along from the hotel looking into the lake in the morning. All in all one of the older hotels ( I think) in a great location with great views and facilities which met our needs.

The location is great, among shops and restaurants. The lobby is quite small, with only a couple of couches to sit. There is a restaurant and bar in the restaurant as well, with tables and chairs but the division is not as clear between what is lounge area for hotel guests and restaurant seatings. We were waiting for our room to be serviced and my husband sat at a table to do some work on the labtop and only about 20% of the restaurant had customers with the remaining tables empty. He was approached by a couple of waitstaff and he explained that he's there to do some work and didn't want to order any food. At which point, a manager approached him and asked him to move to the sofa area and not occupy a table and he did and then the manager approached him again, asking what room are we staying in as well as other details. There's not much work/lounge space in the area at all. I feel that they could have let him sit at a table, considering many of the tables were not occupied. I've seen people sit there on a previous day with their laptops and not order anything. So it was kind of unpleasant that that happened. Also, our room had absolutely no natural light, which made it very depressing. I don't know if I would recommend this hotel for a stay in Toronto.

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Great service from everyone we dealt with right from the front desk to the cleaning staff to the lady who brought us breakfast every morning. The day started with an excellent breakfast serviced right in our room which was a nice touch. My only complaint was having to pay for parking. I was aware of these ahead of time but given the cost of the room, it really should have included the parking.
