The Waterside Inn

The hotel is in a lovely location particularly if you are allocated a room with a balcony overlooking the lovely harbour and Lake Ontario. The balcony area is huge but it would have been nice to have some basic seating. The room itself very large with a vast amount of space for clothes etc. The decor is very traditional, perhaps dated in some areas, but it did feel rather grand. The log effect fire very cosy. The TV is small and housed within the fitted bedroom units. I feel work is needed to modernise such aspects. Housekeeping was excellent and there was a nice array of ethical toiletries in the bathroom. The bathroom is spacious and comfortable. I didn’t particularly like the coffee making machine being in the bathroom though. The hotel is seconds away from beautiful harbour walks and good shops and cafes. No restaurant at the hotel. Also the train line to Toronto downtown is an easy walk away. This hotel offers a more spacious and perhaps grander experience than staying downtown Toronto depending on budget allowance. Hotels in downtown Toronto are very expensive. The location of this hotel proved an excellent alternative choice to the higher priced downtown hotels. However, the hotel refundable deposit is a high one £275.00 and it takes approximately 10 days for it to eventually clear and refund to one’s bank balance. Overall this was a lovely hotel to stay at, comfortable, clean, beautiful views, idyllic location and yes I definitely would return.

Location

No bar/restaurant

Location

No amenities, no ice,water,etc.

Room was big but a bit sterile

Felt like an old hotel whose time has now passed

Location is good, people are good. Property is quiet, clean and tidy

The property is dated and needs upgrading. Ice machine, water and vending machines would be great. Expensive imho

Friendly staff, parking is across the street, $14 per night. TV's are not smart, basic cable. Bring your own toilet paper, its very scratchy. Beds were comfortable, lots of pillows. No kettle or toaster in room, unfortunately. We felt safe staying there. Use the dead bolt for extra security. No on site eatery available.
