Definitely would stay here again. My negative, was that it was diffcult to find the parking, as it Was not very well sign posted ,nor the instructions to get into the underground parking area. But luckily for me, the manager was there to help, but he did inform me that some of the time this is no the case. Just needs clear, concise instructions on parking and key entry.

Spacious and very clean. Parking was a bit confusing. Check in was not great-multiple touch points, confirm registration online, then arrange damage deposits, then check in, then download key app-too much!

We recently stayed at The Laundry Rooms and had a fantastic experience. The property was exceptionally clean, with well-maintained rooms and common areas. Accessibility was a priority, making it easy to navigate for all guests. Despite its convenient location close to amenities like restaurants, shops, and attractions, the hotel was impressively quiet, allowing for a restful stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay, The Laundry Rooms is a great choice. We would definitely return!

We parked our car in the underground parking. When we tried to check out, the garage door was broken. We couldn’t leave. We stuck in the property for a few hours, which was completely messed up our plan. Don’t even mention we need to go to YYZ that evening. Then we were offered to have Ubers to go outside for lunch, and were told that the property would claim the expenses. So far we haven’t received any fund from the property after a month. It was a terrible experience.

Nice spacious apartment with excellent views

The apartment was VERY nice. Love the space, the decor, and the view. I did not get a chance to check out the facilities. Was there visiting family. Ample space for the 4 of us. Only downside is that getting in was a bit confusing. Had to install an app on my phone. Notifications were sent to spam for some reason. But now that I know how it works, would definitely go again.
