Really good Dining Experience

“Dining at Gatsby's was a highlight of my stay! The ambiance is charming, and even when the calamari was overcooked, the staff were prompt and attentive in offering a grilled version, which turned out delicious. The steak portion was generous, and I couldn't resist the pavlova for dessert-it was to die for!” view full review

Relaxing Spa Retreat

“I treated myself to a spa day, and it was simply wonderful. The prenatal massage I received from Rebecca was both soothing and rejuvenating, while my husband enjoyed a therapeutic massage from Natalie. Both technicians were very nice, making the experience feel very special. I can't wait to return!” view full review

Luxurious Accommodations

“The room I stayed in was nothing short of luxurious, with an espresso machine and beautifully decorated interiors with rich wood accents. I particularly enjoyed the dimmable lights and piped-in music, which added a touch of elegance that enhanced my overall experience. It truly was like a home away from home!” view full review

My stay at the Windsor Arms Hotel was mixed. The location is fantastic, situated just half a block off Bloor Street and close to the vibrant Yorkville neighborhood, but the room left much to be desired. It had a terrible old cigarette smell that lingered, which made for an uncomfortable experience. The facilities, including the service from staff, were friendly, but overall, it felt quite dated and overpriced for what was offered.
