It's a nice place to stay for a trip, but the process to get a key and access the room is confusing. It's NOT a real hotel; it's a condo complex. Therefore, the place is designed for residents who know where they are going. There's no receptionist. No housekeeping. No minibar. None of the little things that make a hotel a hotel. As I said, it's not bad, but it's not a real hotel.

Comfortable bed, very responsive staff. However, unit looked absolutely nothing like the pictures, and it was a cramped and awkward space. The door to the bedroom didn't close fully. Laundry & towels left in dryer, dishes left in dishwasher on arrival. Unclear if dishes were clean or dirty.

Great location and for the cost it was awesome! Would definitely stay again. The reason I have it 4 stars and not 5 is because there were only 2 elevators and one wasn’t working so it took about 20 minutes to go up or down. Also, the rooms cleanliness wasn’t exactly great. The bathtub was a little gross and there were empty beer cans shoved in random places. Nothing concerning but not great. Overall, for the cost and location I would definitely recommend staying here and would book again!

RivetStays - The York Stayed on the 6th floor. Dad+ two teens. Location can’t be beat: two blocks from Union Station. Can be accessed from outside or by using The Path if it’s raining or too hot. Amenities are great for a longer stay. We used the toaster, dish washer and washer/dryer for our 4-day stay. Longos grocery store is just across the street. Apartment itself is a little dated and run down but very clean. Light switches were a little confusing or non functional, stove fan+light non functional. Only had two forks but plenty of knives lol! Sofa bed mattress was very uncomfortable. Staff kindly provided an air mattress. Queen bed was comfortable. We were able to get an earlier check in before 4pm. Key system is efficient but complicated if you arrive before 4pm. Staff was nonetheless accommodating and let us check in an hour earlier. Would stay again in a more modern and functional room. Thanks!
