First, Kendra at reception was awesome. Very welcoming, professional, friendly, and helpful. So nice to arrive somewhere after a 9hr flight to that kind of service. Give that lady a raise! Second, location is perfect. Lots of pizza shops/Tim Horton’s/Subway nearby as well as a liquor store. For a laughably expensive place like TO, you cannot beat the value of The Clarence Park. Third, although better than an airport floor, the beds are indeed equally backbreaking, there was no privacy curtains around my bunk, the room was very dark, and the air conditioner didn’t work. The room was so scorching hot and the radiator around the base of the room was so hot to the touch, it could seriously burn someone. I ended up just opening the window, laid on top of the sheets, and sweated the night away. Can’t imagine the room temperature in summer! Wow! And apparently there is a resident mouse (rat?). I personally missed the opportunity to say hi, but he was spotted by fellow guests at breakfast, who screamed in terror while he played peek a boo under the kitchen cupboards. To end on a positive note though, the bathroom and shower were completely spotless and the complimentary coffee and toast/fruit for breakfast was very nice. The wifi was also strong and solid and I was happy to share the breakfast area with some wonderful fellow travellers. Glad I stayed here. The 60 bucks was worth it in the end. Happy Holidays to all!
