Pros:
-cats!
-cheaper as compared to hotels and other listings.
-decent place to stay just for a couple of days, especially if you're just touring most of the day and just really using the place to rest/refresh.
-close to public transportation, can get you around downtown in 30 mins.
-bldg is right across a convenience store.
-check-in is from 3pm but they had allowed me to stay in the reception area because my flight was super early and I wanted to rest for a bit. they do allow early check-ins but you'll have to pay 15$ extra.
-other guests seem to be respectful and quiet.
-i stayed in a private room good for 2, which made all the difference. had a private fridge, aircon (was weak though) as well as a desk. surprisingly even a towel was provided. bring your own toiletries though.
Cons:
-manager was a bit snappy/unwelcoming.
-staff are hardworking though and are more welcoming/apologetic than the person who seemed to be in charge.
-no luck in getting through to them either by the app (messaged lots of times) or the phone. i noticed when i was at the reception that they'd just let the phone ring and let it go straight to voicemail, they're not even minding it and seems like they're used to that.
-the entire place look a bit sketchy, but that maybe because it's in an old building and they're renovating? idk gives the impression that it's unclean even though the staff looks busy cleaning.
all in all, it's a cheaper option and a decent place to stay in Toronto.
