Have stayed for multiple weeks, a dozen or more times over the last five years. Great staff, clean rooms, and an excellent location close to Bloor/Yonge Subway, plenty of restaurants, grocery/convenience stores, liquor and cannabis, and bars. Lots of families live in the area, too, there’s actually a school bus stop next to the hotel.. you’ll feel plenty safe. If you are a walker, you should know there is a homeless and addictions shelter of sorts about 200 meters away closer to Yonge. You will definitely see some humanity there but those people need more sympathy than blame. It’s a small heritage-type building and from what I’ve experienced over the years, does not pose any threat to the many pedestrians and residents who pass by everyday.
