The good, the bad, the ugly
The place was quite clean, so that’s good. But…
The bedsheets were cheap even back in 1997 when they were purchased, and are now all pilly and coarse. It also didn’t take long to get used to bashing your shins on the corners of the bed as you squeezed by the dresser with the misaligned top drawers.
The place is advertised as having a “skyline view”, which is even sort of true (!) so long as you stand on the back of the couch and squint.
The numerous reminders to be quiet are rather undermined by the fact that every door and floorboard squeals at the slightest caress and the walls reverberate with each passing bus and dump truck careening down Dufferin. Perhaps a modest spritz of WD-40 on all the hinges might help?
Look, the place is fine if you’re a student traveller or someone needing basic accommodations while taking in the sights of Toronto, but it is advertised as being much more than this, which it isn’t.
