the room. no.
The breakfast is the best aspect of this hotel, and the possibility to borrow bikes for touring. The hotel is awkward in several ways. The church bells (300m away) can be heard from 7 am onwards. The pillows were spongy, and the door to the balcony did not close perfectly (room 101).
nice helpful staff and location
Pleasant facilities, huge bed and quiet room
quiet, large rooms, friendly staff, Internet access for free no furniture on the balcony, the location (Esmoriz is not a very nice city), the are no English or French speaking staff in the Restaurant
lovely staff, nice rooms- simple, but spacious and clean. good facilities. very quiet. big beds. 10 out of 10. nothing that i personally disliked- however if i had been there mid summer when it was very hot i might have found it a bit out of the way- 10-15 minute walk to the train station, 30-45 minutes to beach.
Very kind staff, the facilities are good and the hotel is well located and quiet. The jacuzzi wasn't warm and the turkish bath was cold
The hotel was lovely but there is nothing to do in the area, not for tourist. The beach was 40 mins walk away, its along walk.....
Staff very friendly and helpful. They speak French and English. Room spacious and comfortable. Basic gym available for free. Steam room and sauna for 5€. We booked for one night and finally stayed for two. Good value for money. Problem with hot water. We did not have really hot water in the room and were told that it takes time to go through the system if hotel is empty (out of main touristic season).
The proximity to Lisbon without having to pay for parking. The oportunity to the beaches and historic sights.
My wife and I were welcomed very eefficiently by the English speaking staff and our room was comfortable and well serviced. The location was very close to the beach but we were disappointed that the sea view requested was seen only from a balcony.obliquely. The lighting was very dim and inadequate for reading.
Many things right in this hotel. Excellent reception staff, courteous helpful and knowledgeable. Spacious apartment. Excellent for beach and rail travel. Reliable housekeeping each day. Additional cost for seaview was very worthwhile -would not have wanted any other aspect. Lots of storage space and large reception hall to apartment, which we used as our child's bedroom rather than using the living room in this one bedroomed apartment. Nice new smeg fridge in our apartment. Settled into a relaxed routine very easily. Rooms tired to my view and give a 70s feel from colours to carpets and tiles; other than that fine. Rooms missing a radio, which is not that costly to provide. An iron in the room would have been nice, but they were available through housekeeping. No sense of catering for those that like traditional tea! Used jug as the pot and kettle needed to be a cooking jug for the electric stove.
The appartment was nice and big with a good view on the ocean. It was very close to the beach. Every evening there was a concert next to our hotel which was very noisy. Luckily it always stopped at midnight, The elevators were very slow.
Great location, five minutes from the station, and one minute from the beach. Espinho is about 30 mins from Porto and 2hrs30 from Lisbon (direct). We were travelling with two small children (8 months and 2yrs) so the apartment was ideal - good size kitchen with Smeg appliances, although a microwave would have been handy for sterilising baby bottles. There's a casino next door and a night club somewhere in or near the hotel but we couldn't hear anything from the 12th floor. We were there for the last three days of the Festa de Espinho with concerts and fireworks directly outside the hotel, from our balcony we had the best views in town! Good location and facilities make this an ideal place to stay for families with young children. A small table and chairs on the balcony would have been nice but not really a negative.
Very helpful staff and apartment very clean with fresh towels every day. There was no hairdryer in the apartment. It had to be borrowed from reception - if available.
A friendly and helpful staff. The room were really clean. breakfast not included € 7.00 each person
We have stayed at this hotel before. The staff are very helpful and courteous. The location is excellent as it is right opposite the beach.
We like the kindness of all hotel staff and closeness of beach, restaurants ,shops and train station. We like that the entry in hotel was able to all 24 hour.
The view is amazing, the apartment is really spacious. Loved staying here, it is a lot better than the reviews led me to believe. Firm beds, but this is a portugal thing I think.
Staff,Accomodations,Beach. I extended my stay from 3 days to 10.When I checked in early on 26jul09, I had driven from Guarda after having a medical procedure done the day before and was very uncomfortable. The two ladies who checked me in were absolutely delightful, picked up my spirits right a way. They were also very knowledgable about the area for many miles around. The accomadations were much more than I expected It was a fully stocked, large apartment,not a studio as advertized.A Very pleasant surprise.Housekeeping noticed that the door to the balcony did not open properly and staff was up the following day fixing it, I had not mentioned it to anyone. The beach is superb. It was perfect for what I needed
Staff were excellent and very helpful
received upgrade without asking, very good buffet breakfast, very central situation. nothing
Convenient for beach and town Looking a little dated compared with when we last stayed there 36 years ago
The hotel has a good location and it is easy to go from this place to visit Porto. The location is excellent, directly at the beach at the Atlantic ocean. Breakfast buffet is good. The hotel really needs some renovation, everything looks a little too heavy used. Carpets look dirty.
Loved the 70s decor, beautifully maintained (or restored?). It's a real period piece. The staff on check in were very friendly though not so much so the next day. Not enough pillows on the bed to comfortably sit up!
Excellent location infront of the beach, very good facilities for swimming and sauna. The personnel was very polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel. The breakfast is perfect, several fruits and local bread. Too many rules in the swimming pool
Position No outdoor pool and poor lighting in the rooms
Break fast was very varied and catered for everyones taste. We were up graded to a sea front room it was very good for the money. The mini bar did not have a very good choice if you chose to stay in your room.
The staff was excellent and helpfull. Prime location on the city center and beach front. Many restaurants and shops nearby. The room was very dusty and the air conditioner over-dried the air. Bad insulating windows caused too much cold air in the room.
Private parking close to entrance. Excellent service by the porter. Close to the beach and Casino. Good offer as to breakfast. Room view not very interesting!Maybe view as per price.

The sultanate of Melaka (OTL Malacca) was founded ~1400. 1400-02, it was visited by Chinese Treasure Ships on their first voyage. Chinese influence entered Melaka. 1408 (3105, Yang Earth Rat in the Chinese calendar), the ruler of Melaka married a Chinese noblewoman, started paying a small tribute to China. This was one of many signs of the cultural changes brought to SE Asia by the Chinese.
When in the 1420s Civil War broke out in Majapahit, China intervened here. By playing out the empires of Melaka and Majapahit against each other, they put sure that neither gained the upper hand.
1539/40, Melaka attacked Aceh with Chinese help, annexing it.
In 1731, after the power of Hong China had declined, France founded the Indochinese League with Bengal, Pegu, Thailand, Khmer, Champa and Melaka. One year later, they founded Fort Knox at the site of OTL Singapore, to control the area better.
After France became a republic, the League fell apart. Instead, in 1783 Italy made a trading treaty with Melaka.

Published every weekday, the Switchboard highlights five tech policy stories you need to read.
FCC chairman says a plan to restore net neutrality rules is coming soon. "After last month's landmark decision by a federal court to strike down key parts of the Federal Communications Commission's Open Internet rules, FCC chairman Tom Wheeler now says the group is working to bring them back," according to the Verge. "In a speech yesterday at the University of Colorado Law School, Wheeler said he will soon be 'outlining' a plan to bring back provisions that required internet service providers to treat all types of internet traffic equally."
A bill to ban in-flight calls just cleared a key House committee vote. "When the Federal Communications Commission said last year it was going to relax the rules on using cellphones on airplanes, it touched off a firestorm of public criticism," the Switch's Brian Fung writes. "Some called for the Department of Transportation to ban in-flight calling altogether. Tuesday, a House panel took a step in that direction, passing a bill that would require the DOT to impose such a prohibition."
Rand Paul to file suit against Obama, NSA over 4th Amendment. "Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is slated to file a class action lawsuit Wednesday against President Obama, the National Security Agency and a host of others involved in a U.S. surveillance program that collects information on millions of U.S citizens," according to the Hill. "Paul, a potential presidential candidate in 2016, said he expects the suit to eventually prevail in the Supreme Court."
How Obama Officials Cried 'Terrorism' to Cover Up a Paperwork Error. "After seven years of litigation, two trips to a federal appeals court and $3.8 million worth of lawyer time, the public has finally learned why a wheelchair-bound Stanford University scholar was cuffed, detained and denied a flight from San Francisco to Hawaii: FBI human error," Wired reports. "FBI agent Kevin Kelley was investigating Muslims in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2004 when he checked the wrong box on a terrorism form, erroneously placing Rahinah Ibrahim on the no-fly list."
Bitcoin Exchanges Under 'Massive and Concerted Attack' "A 'massive and concerted attack' has been launched by a bot system on numerous bitcoin exchanges," according to Coindesk. "This has led to popular exchange Bitstamp putting a temporary halt on all bitcoin withdrawals, and BTC-e announcing possible delays on transaction crediting."

For over 40 years, the Northrop
showchoirs have been a symbol of
excellence within the community, state,
and across the Midwest. The Northrop
Showchoirs' students are ambassadors for
both Northrop High School and the City
of Fort Wayne, Indiana! Our hope is to
have you use this website for
information and to help you access many
items important to your student.
Northrop Show Choirs
Welcome to another exciting year of show choir at Northrop High School! I look forward to continuing the same level of excellence that Allure and Charisma have experienced in past years.
Charisma 2016 is comprised of 54 young men and women singers/dancers and Allure 2016 is comprised of 54 young women singers/dancers. Both of these groups are musically supported by Intrigue, our outstanding instrumental ensemble back up band, and crew.
I would also like to welcome back Chris Rasor. He will be doing the choreography for both groups. Chris and I have worked together for many years and he is a key reason for our continued success! John Van Patten will also be joining us again as the director of Intrigue. Andrew Sherman will be returning as well to help with both groups.
I look forward to working with all of the dedicated students that have made performing an important part of their high school years. Let's continue the tradition of making incredible memories for all of these students.
~ Tom Maupin, Director
On behalf of the Northrop Choral Association (NCA), I want to welcome you to another wonderful year of Northrop Showchoirs! Northrop Showchoirs is made up of two very talented award winning groups, Allure and Charisma, with colorful costumes and hours upon hours of hard work and dedication. The success of Allure and Charisma is driven by the students, instructors, and parents. For the students, showchoir inspires school spirit, team building, and an interest in performing arts.
NCA is comprised of parents who are committed to supporting our children and all the hard work they do throughout the year. The NCA parents play an important role in the success of both groups. Parents support the choirs during the competition season by helping with staging, loading and unloading the equipment trailer, helping students with costumes and chaperoning. NCA sponsors numerous fundraising events including a BBQ Chicken Meal at the Johnny Appleseed Festival, Middle School Workshop, an annual golf outing and hosting our own showchoir competition. These and other fundraisers help the singers/dancers raise money to go towards their competition fees as well as cover the cost of music and offset travel costs to the competitions. The success of Northrop's showchoir program depends on the participation of ALL the parents! I look forward to working with returning and new parents to make this year a success.
As NCA President, I encourage each and every one of you to get involved in Charisma and Allure by serving on or helping with any one of the many committees or events during the upcoming school year. NCA and Northrop Showchoirs cannot function without the help and support of the parents, families, and alumni of our singers/dancers. There are many opportunities to get involved.
Welcome to another exciting successful year with Northrop Showchoirs!!!
Wendy Imhoff,
President Northrop Choral Association (NCA)
The Northrop Choral Association (NCA) represents the students and families enrolled in the Choral Department at Northrop High School, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The NCA Board consists of a President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Volunteer Coordinator.

While watching porn is mostly harmless if you're being discreet, it'll be even better if you're careful about where you are clicking.
A new app named 'Adult Player' has been playing havoc with porn watchers in the last few days. Basically marketed as a porn app, once users click on it, the app simply shows them their own pictures and charges them £330 to avoid being arrested.
Users could look at it like a joke and trash it away. However, the app basically locks the screen and displays the message, including IP address and a case number, while calling itself the FBI.
The worst part is that the software behind the app cannot be uninstalled, apart from the fact that users are virtually blackmailed to pay up to save themselves from being put behind bars. The only way to remove this installation is to boot your phone into safe mode and then removing the app's administrator privileges before uninstalling it.
The app is not available in Google Play store and users can download it using the software named ZScaler. To use apps that do not harm you, it's a lot better to rely on apps available in official app stores rather than downloading them through unknown software.

Secession, a tournament for GOP
WASHINGTON — March's NCAA playoffs are behind us but the madness continues.
From Wisconsin, cradle of the Progressive movement, comes news that the state Republican Party — the party of La Follette! — has advanced a pro-secession agenda.
The party's Resolutions Committee voted earlier this month in favor of a platform saying the GOP "supports legislation that upholds Wisconsin's right, under extreme circumstances, to secede." The resolution will now get a vote at the state party convention next month, raising the alarming prospect of a breakaway Badger State uniting with Ottawa in a military alliance that could disrupt the fragile balance of power in the Great Lakes.
Called the "state sovereignty" resolution, it is driven by the same sentiment that drives Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy to ignore federal law and court orders on grounds that they do not apply in the "sovereign state of Nevada."
Wisconsin's Republican governor, Scott Walker, opposes the resolution. He has in mind being president of the United States, and that ambition could be frustrated if his state were no longer part of the union.
But maybe Wisconsin's secession plans could help Walker. The Republican National Committee has been working to streamline the party's labyrinthine nominating process. What could be simpler than an NCAA-style tournament in which secessionist regions face off against regions firmly committed to the United States.
Pro-secession Wisconsin would host the Midwest region, where Walker and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, though neither is a secessionist, would have to emphasize their states' sovereignty positions, as would Cinderellas in this bracket: Govs. Mike Pence of Indiana and John Kasich of Ohio.
Pro-secession Texas, where Gov. Rick Perry once hinted at breaking away, would host the West region. Perry would be evenly matched with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who has demonstrated fierce hostility toward the federal government, and both might be upended by Sarah Palin.
In the pro-union East, top seeds would be New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, though dark-horse challengers include the itinerant Senate candidate Scott Brown, assuming he still lives in the East in 2016.
The South region, often a secessionist hotbed, would have a strong pro-union bracket featuring former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Govs. Bobby Jindal (La.) and Nikki Haley (S.C.). Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) would likely compete here, although he did have a staffer who favored secession.
The top candidate from the secessionist Midwest and West regions would compete for the GOP nomination against the champion from the pro-union East and South.
Games aside, the March Madness format could allow the GOP to answer honestly and openly a key question facing the party and the conservative movement: Is it for limited government, or is it just against government?
In Washington, the choice is often framed in abstract policy terms. Are Republicans about repealing Obamacare, blocking comprehensive immigration reform, and opposing government spending and debt limit increases even if this brings about a government shutdown and default on the federal debt? Or do they have an alternative governing plan? Are they trying to limit the scope of the federal government, or to stop it from functioning?
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the choice is more earthy. A cattle rancher, Bundy, has been ignoring federal court orders for the better part of two decades. Worse, he's backed by the state's Republican governor and its Republican senator. This is where small government becomes no government — where opposition to Washington becomes anarchy.
Bundy has been having his cattle graze on federal lands for decades and has refused to pay grazing fees. He has ignored court orders, and lost an appeal. When federal authorities finally moved recently to impound his cattle, Bundy threatened violence, leading the feds to back off.
And what says Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval? "No cow justifies the atmosphere of intimidation which currently exists nor the limitation of constitutional rights that are sacred to all Nevadans," he said, objecting to the treatment of Bundy's armed supporters.
How about Sen. Dean Heller? He said he told the federal Bureau of Land Management "very clearly that law-abiding Nevadans must not be penalized by an overreaching BLM."
The complaints might make more sense if Bundy himself were "law-abiding."
Perhaps Sandoval's reaction shouldn't be a surprise, though. He has been talked up as a long-shot contender in the pro-secession West region of the GOP-NCAA tournament. His support for Bundy might get him a higher seed.

From Us to You: Some Volunteer Aunties Talk Body Image
I know it's only so much consolation to you right now, but the older I get, the more I notice how much easier having a positive body image becomes. I know that's clearly not the case for all older women: after all, plenty of women my age and older are getting sliced, diced and Botoxed to within an inch of their lives. However, it's also not just me.
How can I help my trans partner with a medical transition?
Okay, so I'm a female high school junior. There's this girl (sweet, geeky, smart, funny, the works) that I may soon be starting a sexual relationship with. She's trans and just started taking hormones. Currently she's male, but eventually, her "outie" will become an "innie," so to speak....
Love the Glove: 10 Reasons to Use Condoms You Might Not Have Heard Yet
You've probably heard or thought some things about condom use that might be keeping you or others from using them or from using them consistently, and I'm willing to bet you haven't heard everything I'm about to say. Even if you're already using condoms and using them every single time properly, I bet you know someone -- a sibling, a friend, a sexual partner -- who could stand to hear ten great reasons to use condoms.
Why is one group of women so different than another when it comes to interest in sex?
I am a 19-year old male, and all the time I hear or read things about females that age or even younger getting into sex, including right here on Scarleteen. But just about every female around my age that I know has little to no interest in sex. What is it that makes these groups of people so different? I'm worried I might not find any partners that are interested in it....
To shave or not to shave? Here's the answer.
To shave or not to shave? Rather a drama queen way to ask a question but there it is. My boyfriend wants to have oral sex with me, and I am fine with that, but he is asking if I can shave my hair down there. Now I thought that was a bad idea, because I remember hearing something about the hair being a ventilation system for you and helps prevent infection....
Are we addicted to sex?
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 7 months. We had sex after the 1st month because we felt that special connection with each other. Ever since the first time with him, I keep wanting more. I think I'm addicted to sex with him. That is all I think about constantly....
Consent is Sexy
What is consent? What is sexy? Why is consent sexy?
I'm worried that partnered sex won't be as good as masturbation!
I have a question about the way I masturbate: it feels best when I am rubbing myself light and fast through a layer of clothing, like underwear or something, and tightening my inside muscles at the same time. I can orgasm easily like this, and have multiple orgasms if I keep going....
Why do I feel so bad later when it feels so good at the time?
I am a 23 year old female in a serious relationship for the first time. I knew my boyfriend for 3 months and have seeing him seriously for 4 months now. The two of us are clear on no sex before marriage, but are physically intimate. I love to kiss him and cuddle up with him....

Move over Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, and make way for Jeff Sessions. Even though Cruz and Paul commanded the U.S. Senate floor for hours on end in 2013, the two Republicans are not the top talkers of the year. Sessions, an Alabama Republican, logged the most speaking time in the Senate last year, according to a C-SPAN analysis reported by the Los Angeles Times. Sessions, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, spoke for 39 hours last year, according to C-SPAN's record through December.

The XTX Tungsten is built upon the XTX200 platform but with a truly unique, added feature: it is protected with a hard, durable PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish. This ?tough as nails? finish is better than traditional chrome plating. The coating is made of high quality grades of Titanium, Zirconium and Chromium. The result is not only rich, but protects your investment from normal diving abuse.
The XTX Tungsten features an innovative Diver Changeable Exhaust system (DCE). This system gives the diver the ability to change from a small exhaust tee to a large exhaust tee. This gives the user a choice, wider exhaust tee for minimal bubble interference (essential for underwater photography) and narrow exhaust tee for a smaller compact comfortable regulator.
The XTX Tungsten can also be converted from a right handed hose configuration to a left handed one. The process of changing the regulator to a left handed configuration is both quick and simple. Must be performed by an APEKS Authorized Service Technician The new ergonomic Venturi lever of the XTX range has been designed to reduce the amount of grit ingress. It also incorporates an index-able, tactile, audible ratcheting Venturi lever mechanism, A new silicone exhaust valve has been used on the XTX demand regulator range. This new valve improves the breathing performance of the regulator

Fairmont Royal York
100 Front Street West, Toronto, ON
0.3 mi from
central location room was hot. small too. hotel needs h full redo. looks and smells old.
Deluxe Rooms are by far larger and more comfortable than Fairmont Gold Rooms, 500 sq ft vs 250 sq ft. I stay with Fairmont a lot and the old Canadian Pacific Properties are very grand. Staff is excellent. Restaurants offer decent food at a fairly high rate which you would expect at a hotel. The fireplace in my room is silly and its fake, they should just put a fern inside it. Housekeeping crew was great. I always tip them. The air conditioner was awful in 17-135. They tried to fix it twice. It was hot outside and the room was cooler but not cold. There was really nothing else I was unhappy with as I love Fairmont's high standards.
Quick getaway with the wife!! A little romance and peace and quiet! Enjoyed the ambiance, food, drink and service in the Library bar! Highly recommended
The Royal York has a great location and fabulous staff. The rooms are beginning to be renovated and the bathroom is TINY but they work. When they have good prices this is a great option!!
Beautiful newly renovated room, friendly staff and great location. The room could have been better sound proofed to noise in hallway. Could hear conversations of passerbys easily in the middle of the night.
Location, location, location... Awesome accommodations! Construction rescans renovations that were occurring when we were there...
The staff was wonderful. They truly went out of their way to help me with my Internet problem. The view of the office building from my room. The fire alarm check that went on way too long. The construction down the hallway was very noisy. I could hear conversations in the next room and in the hallway.
Comfy bed Delicious, impeccably cooked steaks Nice pool area El Labo soaps smell amazing Room service was very fast and friendly Very few gluten free items on menus Several times we had a hard time getting in touch with staff (consierge, maintenance, bell desk) Room was incredibly cramped and looked hastily repaired or shoddily renovated Room smelled of previous tenants body odour or cigarettes Closet light was clicking on and off sporadically Steam room in health facilities seemed unclean/didn't smell good
Amazing staff, decadent surroundings, great views, incredibly comfortable beds and accommodations, Union station is across the street for transportation and the hotel itself is like visiting a landmark - it's beautiful. The price is high, but it's for all of those reasons. Thin walls. A lot of the comfort and decadence was dampened by some people who decided to have a "get together" around 11 PM next door that continued until about 2:30 AM. When it was down to 2 people you might guess what the next hour sounded like. Needless to say I did not sleep. I had to check out for an early flight around 4 AM, so I didn't bother kicking up a stink with management. I will next time though. I would stay again, but will request a room not joined if possible. Other than the inconsiderate neighbours, I loved the hotel.
Loved the Olive Bar and convenience of dinning and shopping all in one :-) Nothing...
Centrally located Affordable valet parking Helpful staff Quick check in Quiet room Clothes iron was damaged No blow dryer was provided Sink did not hold water for shaving, stopper was broken Mirror was showing signs of corrosion Bathroom door made entry/exit difficult No USB charging ports Cleaning attempted to enter my room at both 7:30 AM and 8:45 AM. That was very unwelcome.
staff was friendly. room was clean feel like iv stayed in better rooms for a lot less!!!!!
Not a thing
Staff was competent and very friendly. Concierge helped me several times and obtained discounted tickets to Aquarium and Hockey Hall of Fame. Hotel overlooks railway and train noise started early in the morning and was clearly heard in the rooms-go street side. No refrigerator or minibar in the room and no movies on TV.
Very friendly and helpful staff
The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was big and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Great location. Easy to walk to Harbor front, CN tower, Aquarium and more. All just 5 mins walk away, great for kids of all ages.
Location was terrific Hotel system was down at check Iin. So didn't get to room until later. Ordered a cab for 5 people, 5 hours before we needed it and it didn't arrive. Staff ran around blaming others, but still no cab arrived for 5 people. 20 minutes later, we ended up taking two cabs. Next day (Sunday) we asked for a late check out of 1 pm (only an hour after regular checkout time). They said no, we could have until 12:30 only. The price of the room far exceeds the services provided.
Service, location, room, views and property. Nothing
Location and comfort. Price
a lovely room and comfy beds, the staff very attentive and professional this days charging extra for wifi in the room seems excessive the water in the shower could be few degrees warmer for comfort
Great hotel in a great location. Excellent staff and facilities. A very festive feel throughout with the MLS Cup in town along with the holidays. Would highly recommend.
Front desk staff was giving us wrong information to gain access to pool. We made 3 different attempts to the spa facility to try to use the pool on the 3rd floor & had our keys reprogrammed twice & later found out we were not using the right elevator for access. Then the Hot tub jacuzzi was out of order during our entire stay, but front desk was not aware of.
We planned a quick trip to Toronto for our anniversary. We were just staying for the night with plans to take a dinner cruise along the Toronto harbor. The proximity of this hotel made it possible for us to walk to our cruise from the hotel. There was parking for our car in the City Hall parking lot directly across the street from the hotel. The room was clean and spacious and we got a very reasonable rate booking thru kayak. The hotel is located in the heart of Toronto's harbor front, which was great, but there was a Toronto Blue Jays game the night we checked in and the traffic getting to the hotel was pretty bad. In general traffic was extremely slow. Our drive from Rochester, NY to Toronto typically takes around 3 hours. We spent seven hours just getting to Toronto on the day we checked in. The NYS thruway was backed up. The Bridge to Canada was backed up. The QEW was backed up. And downtown Toronto near the Blue Jays Stadium was backed up. Just made for a stressful arrival.
The staff was fabulous The carpet in the room was filthy. There was a red stain between the beds that was unacceptable.
Great hotel. Right down town. Lots of food options within a few minutes walk. Good conference hotel.
The staff were amazing! Very nice hotel. Wifi not included. Not crazy on the fact that they make you pay for it.
Comfortable bed, clean, great location.
Staff is really nice. Room had a great view and the hotel is located at the heart of the financial district and a walking distance from major Toronto attractions. Great to do business and explore the city. They charge extra for wifi. Free wifi is provided to some SPG members under conditions that are not consistent across Sheraton hotels.
Front desk staff, comfortable beds Room cleanup missed a couple items
Center of the city, with access to many restaurants, and most importantly my Client. Old, room needs updates. Moldy fountains.
Very clean and comfortable, good lighting and great view. Exelent location to downtown entertainment,food and attractions. Ice box or mini fridge is always a nice for a stay but not included in the standard room. Cable included in room not easy to navigate.
Greeted warmly when we arrived, shown personally to our suite. All staff whether at the front desk, valets or cleaning staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome.
Beats Trump, Four Seasons and Ritz......hands down....amazing atmosphere in the day & evening...... The pool was closed for a half day due to pipe burst.....
service was great, the view was beautiful, the room was excellent. It seemed like the stars aligned for us, but that just may be the great service of the hotel. The weight room was great. The concierge made a reservation for us at this great restaurant downtown. I can't really say there was anything I didn't like about the hotel. I did a lot of research on hotels in toronto, and this was the highest rated and for good reason. If you're on the fence, go with Shangri-La
It doesn't worth money. I give it 3 star place with 5 star price. See previous
Room layout, lighting, bathroom & view HVAC - too warm without windows that open
Beautiful hotel!
As soon as I arrived , I was greeted with a warm welcome where I felt like I was home away from home. I told the concierge that it was my first time in Toronto and he upgraded our room to the lake side view. When I got to the room, I saw why he had upgraded to the Lake view was even more incredible than I had imagine
Great location Easy check in Dated rooms Not sound proof - could hear everything in hallways and on road (I.e. Sirens) No fridge in room Bathroom was very old - needs to be updated badly
The staff was very helpful. The room was nice. I have no complaints. Will stay there again.
very clear, affordable, and walking distance from downtown Why would Hilton not offer free WiFi these days for international travelers?
Unfortunately due to a late flight, I got in at almost 3:00 AM. They put me on the 26th floor. They didn't tell me there would construction starting on the 26th floor at 8:00 AM. It was terrible. The hotel was not sold out either... It was loud and very difficult to try and get that extra 30 minutes of sleep I needed...
Nothing, I didnt stay there. They gave my room to someone else. Hilton booked me in an oversold hotel. After traveling 11 hours I showed up and they said i had no room! I paid for 2 nights in advance and it was PAID for. How could Hilton do this? I am a HiltonHonors member, being a member doesn't mean much to them, where is the loyalty? They gave my paid for room to someone else and told me to go find another hotel. UNBELIEVABLE!!
Close to everything downtown, one block from subway, clean, modern, friendly helpful staff. A little expensive but that may just be the prices in Toronto.
I enjoyed the friendly and professional staff. If you drive into town with a larger vehicle, you will not be able to park onsite. Parking in other locations becomes costly.
The b.fast
Beds were very comfortable. Carpets were a little dirty
I enjoyed the quality of the room, th ebed was especially comfortable. the spa closed early and the prices of in room dining was out of proportion of Canadian hotel prices.
Location Rooms could have been cleaner
best value, great location, upscale, would stay nowhere else in downtown Toronto price of two drinks in the bar, asked for a glass of wine and a scotch and got a bill for $38
The service and styling is spot-on, generous room size and appointments that made the price good value
their rooms are very clean. their lobby's workers are very kindly. their restrant's workers have a poke face.
Ease and comfort checking in and out. Facilities are fantastic!
Location, good service at the reception, proximity to convention centre and train station. Great view in room 2500. Nothing
Friendly staff, value for money and very clean Nothing not to like
The quality of the hotel for bthe price. The inclusion of breakfast was a great plus.
Friendliness of staff, good breakfast, excellent room.
Comfortable room, with amenities. Staff friendly. Convenient to convention center. Faucet may have been a bit leaky. Didn't love the bedding, but got used to it.
Rooms were clean and nice. Staff was professional and courteous. Nothing
Quick service. When my granddaughter and I arrived, there was water on the bathroom floor, from a leaky toilet. The problem was resolved immediately. Professional and friendly staff. Glass walls on the bathroom...greatly reduced privacy. Would prefer bathroom door with a handle.
i had a great time, the hotel was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful.
Staff gracious and kind. Television didn't work all the time. Volume was issue
nothing Poor internet connection. Poor security. Location near night club, not safe at night time. Dirty bedsheet.
Great location, very nice rooms None
Location is fantastic... I walked right out the door into a great restaurant
Parking,staff and the badroom piep in lift
The staff was friendly and vary nice. The location was good. And the bathroom was beautiful. I don't understand why they charge $1.00 for every local call. And the price was not worth the room.
In the theatre district walking distance to Princess of Wales. Lots of restaurants in the area. Friendly staff even offering a bottle of water to take away on check out. Easy access by subway and street car from Unuon Station. Nothing negative to report based on our 1 night stay.
Couldn't believe how close to everything this hotel was.. amazing! Outdoor pool on the 17th floor was amazing! Urban sanctuary type deal as sunny with a view of downtown and cn tower No issues found during my stay
Friendly staff, clean and quiet room with free wi-fi, bottled water, tea and coffee, great location walking distance to many restaurants, bars, coffee shops and tourist attractions Pricey bar and restaurant
Nice, comfortable bed. Very spacious room. Lobby is spacious and uncrowdwe. Ambulance siren at nite a recurrent annoyance.
People very friendly...Jon twigg very kind to get door leading into our room fixed. Door didn't work..had to wait to get fixed. Room not ready when we arrived at 330pm, had to wait 20 minutes in lobby. Bed not turned down second night we were there. Hairs found in our bathtub..
Attentive staff Need exhaust fans in the bathroom Lack of TV stations in the lounge - why in Canada could we not see the Stanley Cup playoffs in the lounge???
The room was beautiful. Our favorite was the Trump chocolate bars. The kids loved the TV embedded in the bathroom mirror. My only complaint was the the lighting in the bathroom could have been brighter. It was a little dim for applying makeup.
The location is great. Short walk to everywhere and multiple places to eat nearby. Be aware that you HAVE to valet park, which costs $50 per night per car. They do not give you the option to park yourself.
We inadvertently left somethings in the car that was valet parked. Our bellhop brought our bags up and immediately helped us with our situation. In a few minutes our other items were up in our room. It was so effortless. I also loved how well staffed if was and how ready they were to help us with anything.
We loved the location as it was a perfect home base for us to explore downtown Toronto on foot, via the Subway, streetcar and taxi cab. We initially chose the hotel for its close proximity to the cne and the cn Tower but were pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to access many tourist attractions in the area. The hotel itself was clean, the pool was lovely and the staff were exceptionally pleasant. We'll be back! The exterior grounds were not up to the standard one would expect for an International hotel, (weeds, faded paint on signs, etc.)
My room was large, beautiful, and clean. The hallways were a bit difficult to navigate and I got lost a couple of times until I got a acclimated to it. I went around in circles before I could find the elevator! The hotel is very special because it sits directly next to Rogers stadium, which is the home of the Toronto Blue Jays, & I understand that there is soccer there too. If you sit in the hotel's restaurant, you can look directly into the stadium, and it's a great deal of fun. However, I understand that there are some rooms that also look directly into the stadium but which do not have windows to the outside, so these rooms would make a sports fan very happy but perhaps others might be disappointed. Be sure to ask for a room that has a window to the outside if you don't want to face the stadium. The concierge was very nice, and attempted to be very helpful. However, she did not give clear enough instructions on how to get around the city. Taking a cab was a big suggestion of hers, & I really wanted to learn how to use public transit. Perhaps part of the problem, however, is that Toronto's subway system has not grown as the city has grown. It is not that widespread or complex, and in order to reach many places, there's a great deal of transferring necessary between train and street car. So this is difficult for a tourist to learn quickly.
Large rooms and beautiful large bathroom. Staff friendly and happy to help
Large modern room. Due to Blue Jays game they had no parking available when we arrived. I had to find off site parking which cost $40 then move my vehicle to the hotel after the game and pay hotel $35. So $75 to park, was NOT happy with that. No free wi-fi. Charge was $12.95. The room was not cheap, do they really need more of my money for wi-fi? I travel often and I cannot remember the last time wi-fi was not included for free. No in room safe.
Stayed for a concert loved it
Fast check in, complimentary breakfast above the norm, close to transport and entertainment Expensive parking. Wifi should be free.
it was a nice view and the water front wasn't to far from the amphitheater were i was going it was over priced for a small hotel like that
The hotel was very convenient and central to many of the Toronto tourist attractions, and the novelty of watching the baseball game from the restaurant was great.
City view room wasn't available when we arrived (which we were supposed to get) so they gave us a room with a view of the centre feild of the Rogers Centre so we watched the Blue Jays baseball game from our room. Loved it!
It's right next to the ballpark. You can eat lunch and watch the game from the hotel restaurant. Centrally located. It's super convenient. I hated the fact that they charge to use wifi or the internet in the business center.
Everything is very close by, Excellent living rooms in each room, not just a typical bed and a desk, and the TV check out was very convenient. they up graded us to a stadium view, that was good but they left the flood lights on all night. Seemed like a waste, but I guess that really has nothing to do with the hotel. Also we got unlucky and the kitchen was closed due to a break down, but I have eaten there before and it is very good
From the moment you arrive, you are aware you are in a special place. The understated luxury and the attentive but discrete staff mean you can enjoy your stay in the knowledge everything you need is at your fingertips while enjoying as much privacy as you need. The wood-paneled design theme is carried through the hotel from the lobby to your room, which is a haven from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Do ask for a quiet room though as the noise of Toronto's condo construction boom can interrupt the tranquility in some areas (a problem not unique to Le Germain). But the hotel has even thought of that. It helpfully provides ear plugs in the bedrooms for those who are sleep-challenged. It's just one of the many little and big touches that make this hotel an oasis in the entertainment district of Canada's largest city, just a short distance from Toronto's island airport served by the Porter airline. 1. Super staff who don't get "in your face" 2. Understated charm of hotel with thoughtful design touches 3. FantastIc bedrooms with plenty of space (judging by our room) 4. Convenient location in Toronto's downtown theatre district and close to waterfront
Rooms need a refresh.
The staff were very pleasant, well-informed and helpful. Kathleen, the concierge, was outstanding.
It's a quite hotel with less traffic of people made it convenient for me. Needs to make facilities more inviting and pleasant: restaurent and breakfast area.
Best bathrooms and very friendly staff Room opposite us had a big group staying in room and one night they made a lot of noise until the early hours of the morning
Beautiful room and bathroom
The room was very attractive, comfortable, spacious, and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lighting in the room was poor.
Perfect and convenient. I will stay again!
The room is elegant and very modern kept to wait for more than one hour to get my room ready
Concierge service was excellent. The hotel was clean and well-appointed with lots of luxuries and very comfortable beds. Walburgers was horrible
We enjoyed the accessibilty to our intended events, and truly enjoyed the comfort of the hotel and its amenities. Having worked for years in front desk reception, I found some of your staff to be too formal or "stuffy", as opposed to sincerely welcoming and professional.
the styling generally, and the comfortable bed with top quality bed linen the room was small and i feel the price was a little on the high side
Nice hotel on the edge of the downtown core, an easy walk to restaurants and bars on King Street West, Queen Street West, Chinatown and Kensington Market. Hotel is low-rise and relatively small, which is a plus for me. Easy, but somewhat expensive parking underground with direct access to hotel. Luxury room was comfortable and spacious.
Great location, clean and spacious.
The space of the suite we booked was comfortable and quiet and the small kichen area was well equipped.
Very roomy. Good location to entertainment district. Elevator service can be slow. Breakfast (free) can be crowded but I guess that's what happens when it is free.
The hotel rooms and very nice and the staff are wonderful to deal with. Andrew from the front desk helped us out more than once with a smile on his face each time. The continental breakfast was better than any I've ever had! We stayed here during TIFF and had an absolutely wonderful second experience at this hotel.
Very friendly accomodating staff. Clean and funcitonal room.
Staff was awesome. Room was dated, furniture not anchored to the wall
Perfect location in downtown, to. Not far from the main attractions. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will def. stay here again!
I love the offering of breakfast and having kitchen facilities.
I had an in-room suite with kitchen and it was perfect for work. I was able to dine in my room and get work done. It was also close to the attractions of downtown Toronto so I spent half a day walking around. A bit pricey for parking but they do have valet parking.
Great breakfast and friendly staff. Fantastic location close to everything.
It is in a great location for the entertainment district. I prefer quality over quantity for breakfast. I would recommend fewer items e.g. Organic granola instead of processed granola, that are locally sourced.
Large room with good facilities and was clean. lack of room service.
The room was fantastic – clean, modern, spacious, fully stocked with everything we would need. The locations is great as well, accessible to everything downtown Toronto, close to the subway. Free breakfast was a bonus, and it was very tasty.
Clean room. Walk across the road to Royal York for access to path! Small room. It's hard to find attendant for morning breakfast if you want to order something.
Great location! Good value for the money. Clean room. Wifi is not free. It took over 20 minutes to drop off my car with the valet.
The smell in the room
The overall hotel was cute and small. It was a great location to everything. We didnt have a car and it was close enough to walk,uber, or use the train to get to most of the thigs we wanted to do and see. The rooms were small. I wish there were higher floors with more of a city view. Also the tv was in a awkward location to watch. Breakfast was not included, which would have been nice since we stayed for so long.
Location Restaurant on sight has good reasonably priced breakfast Hardwood floors in rooms Rooms are very small but clean
The room was nice, large enough for us to not feel cramped There seemed to be a lot of light switches that did the same thing. Also it was a pain to print off tickets we needed. All things were minor details though.
Very small room, didnt even have a closet or anywhere to hang clothes. Great location Very tiny rooms
Good location Reasonable rates Single bed option had small rooms
Downtown location Booked a room with two double beds, checked in and given a room with only one bed, then told that there were no other rooms available and that even though we'd booked a room with two doubles on Kayak they wouldn't honor it because they only guarantee room type when booked on their website. The hotel was also incredibly noisy - we could hear every little thing on our floor all night.
Walking across the street you could see CN Tower. Everything was in walking distance. Parking was reasonable and had many options. Safe and clean, overall nice place to stay for a reasonable price.
Rooms were pretty clean Staff was friendly No gym (just a deal of paying the next-door full-sized gym $10/workout) No desk or chair in the room They didn't find my reservation when I arrived, took 5-10 minutes to figure it out. Random $23 charge on my credit card at 2am during my stay On my second day, my card key didn't work and they said apparently I checked out that morning...I definitely did not
the rooms are very small and parking is hard to find
Location was great Room wasn't very clean and the power went out shortly after we arrived and was down for several hours. This might not have been the hotel's fault, but there was no effort put in to mitigating the issue for the guests (i.e. providing battery powered lights, communicating progress on power restoration). Valet parking was overpriced and, considering the overall cost, this was very poor value for money.
I loved the location of the hotel, it was so close to the metro convention center which is great for those going to convferences. Walking distance from there. It was also close to King St clubs, bars, pubs which was good for night life. There was a club next door Tryst which had a loud crowd after hours at 2am but if you're staying in the midst of the city, what do you expect?? It wasn't loud enough to be offensive and the hotel front desk staff did an excellent job at keeping the "wanderers: from the club out of the lobby.Excellent staff, I checked in early and the room was ready. The room itself was exceptional, just the right size and very comfortable.I Loved my stay there and would stay there again!! Maybe refill the coffee in the lobby more readily as it ran out sometimes. NOt a big deal though.
Had to drive around for a
I liked location, comfort and staff. stayed twice in week and first room too noisy. Noise from street I think
friendly and fast service; new and clean room; fast checkout; just great! parking very expensive and on the street - had to look around for a safe place for overnight
the bed parking prices
nearby to the shopping centers and entertainment areas car parking is too expesive 35$ and the lobby is too small
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Accommodations were clean and modern. Within walking distance to many restaurants and other attractions. Had difficulty keeping the room cool; the air conditioner would stop cooling occasionally. The staff was prompt with a response and a fix.
Valet was a little expensive since we parked it there overnight and never moved it and it still cost us 35
The modern, clean room. The friendly greeting at arrival and then every time that I returned to the hotel during my 3-night stay. The cookies in the lobby at the end of the day were a pleasant surprise and the apples in the morning. The breakfast arrangements in the restaurant and the pleasant waiters and waitresses made for an enjoyable start to the day. Unfortunately, there were some guests on the Friday night who were still listening to music at 3:30 a.m. but due to the construction of the building it was hard to know where the noise was coming from.
Excellet location to the major attractions in Toronto, or facilities to go to the attractions. Clean and Confortable rooms. Good alternatives on Breakfast
- The room was very clean, good temperature control, clean bathrooms, nice lobby/hallways, nice pool/fitness area, friendly staff, fantastic location right near Queen Street West - A fire alarm went off while we were there (around 12:00 pm on Valentine's Day), and it was too loud and it went on for too long. I had a migraine and it was making it infinitely worse. The alarm was pulled in a parking garage, but the cycle went on about 6 times (crazy loud alarm + "there was an alarm pulled in p4, we will keep you updated" - unnecessary). But... They gave my boyfriend a free coke to give me (I drink the caffeine when I have migraines), so that was really nice.
