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.

It was a convenient walk to Roger’s centre. Though it didn’t look like the pictures, on the add on Expedia. when I booked it, it looked like a one bedroom hotel room. There wasn’t any parking and so I had find parking and ended up having to pay allot for that 24 hrs. I have stayed in nicer air bnbs for less..

This property is actually the infamous ICE building in Toronto. It had a murder by gunshot in March. Rivet is intentionally obscuring this fact by calling it “The York”.

What a disgrace. Don’t stay here!

We had to wait outside in the rain for half an hour and had to call the concierge 4 times to get sometime to come let us in. The room itself was dirty. The dryer was left on and full of laundry and kept chiming until we turned it off. The shower curtain rings were rusty and missing some so 1/3 of the shower curtain was open and couldn’t close all the was. For the price of the room how can they not afford to get a new shower curtain or properly clean the unit??

The property was much smaller than advertised. The beds were rock hard. The dryer had sheets in it obviously from the previous tenants. The only good thing was the location. It was close to the harbour front and there was a supermarket across the road. I wouldn’t stay there again

Only nice thing is the building from the outside. Area is fine but nothing special. Common areas past the lobby is poorly kept - dirty and poorly maintained. Unit is very old and poorly maintained. The whole check in process feels “dodgy” - the individual did not want to be seen by the concierge (if you call the ‘person’ behind the desk that). Overall a very disappointing experience. I’ll never stay with RivetStays again.
