Fitness center and breakfast room are small
The Comfort Inn City Centre is a 48-room chain hotel located in
downtown Toronto. Guest rooms at this two-and-a-half-pearl hotel are clean, simple, and come standard with mini-fridges and coffeemakers, some offer separate sitting areas. The fitness center and
breakfast area are small considering the hotel’s size, but functional and
convenient nonetheless. Although the neighborhood directly around the hotel is
seedy, a 10-minute walk will get you to lively areas like Dundas Square or
Church and Wellesley. The hotel is pleasant but unremarkable, with its appeal lying
mainly in its downtown location rather than its atmosphere. For about $20 more per night, the nearby Hilton Garden Inn Toronto/City Centre has an indoor pool.

Scene
Generic chain hotel caters to budget-conscious guests
The hotel’s trim black-and-brown exterior looks quite elegant
and inviting, particularly in comparison to the relatively shabby shops that
surround it. Inside, a dangling chandelier and a gleaming black fireplace
in the lobby add some charm to the lobby, set with four armchairs upholstered in polkadot patterns. The common areas, including the breakfast area, are quite small, making the hotel best
suited to guests prepared to get in-and-out rather than those hoping to linger
and socialize. Guests are mostly tourists who want easy access to the
nearby sights, restaurants, and nightlife at an affordable rate.
Location
Garden District location, within a 10-minute walk of subway stations, shopping, and dining
The Comfort Inn City Centre is set in an unattractive,
slightly rundown location in Toronto’s Garden District. Although the area
around the hotel isn’t immediately appealing, it’s about a half-a-mile away
from the vibrant dining and nightlife scenes found at Dundas Square, as well as
around the Church and Wellesley and Yonge and College intersections. Both the College and Dundas subway stations can be reached
in less than 10 minutes on foot, providing quick transport to more far-flung
areas of the city. The hotel is also
less than a minute’s walk away from Ryerson University, and 10 minutes away
from shopping at the Toronto Eaton Centre. There isn't any parking on-site.
Rooms
Attractive and modern rooms with standard amenities
Rooms are neat and business-like, decorated in gray tones,
dark brown woods, and crisp stripe patterns. Yellow-and-blue flower artwork
is identical from room-to-room, and adds an eye-catching pop of color. All room
categories feature flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers, some include a countertop area with a sink. Some rooms feature a
separate living area with a sofa bed, and all rooms provide either a desk or small
table-and-chairs set-up. The gray color scheme continues in the sleek bathrooms, which
are stocked with off-brand bath products. Some include a shower/tub combo,
while others offer a shower only.
Features
Free breakfast, free coffee throughout the day in the lobby, and a small fitness center
Free breakfast is offered daily in a small, dark dining room
on the hotel’s lower level. Upstairs, there’s a tiny fitness center equipped
with one treadmill and one elliptical machine. There’s also a compact business
center with a couple of armchairs, a single personal computer, and a printer station. Free coffee is offered all day in the lobby, and Wi-Fi is
available throughout the hotel. The hotel welcomes pets for a fee.
