Southgate Holidays from AU$933

Pros - Great location with everything nearby. Suite was nice, clean and good size for 4 people. Showers were excellent and minimal noise for being downtown Toronto. Cons - Beds were double size beds which wasn’t good for two couples and they were incredibly uncomfortable. Pillows were also not very good. Also, one morning while we were sleeping a security and maintenance person unlocked the door and walked into the suite and woke the 4 of us up to change an air filter.

Know what you’re getting. Yes, this is a condo and that is well spelled out. However, you need to walk two blocks to get the key out of a lockbox in a convenience store which is not communicated to you until 24 hours before check-in - and return it there - likely while hauling your bags. It is NOT two bedrooms - it is one bedroom with sliding cardboard dividers in what should be the dinning area. Also, according to the security, the building is about 30% short term rental so a lot of people are coming and going around check-in and check-out times, so be prepared to wait 15 minutes or more for the elevator (up or down) - yes, 15 minutes. The unit was not well stocked, it had coffee pods but not a coffee machine that accepted pods. The towels were a hodgepodge mix of old towels and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. But if you’re going to a blue jays game or the CN Tower, it’s very close

Booking and check-in were easy. Apartment was correct. Impossible to speak with a person on the phone during my stay. Communication was poor by email and text messaging. NO WORKING INTERNET for the entire stay.

the room amenities, the vibe of the lobby, the pool area were all 10/10

Soho residences was a great location. Though it's connected to the Soho Hotel, it's a seperate side of the building, so you either need to use of of the other 2 seperate entrances, or use the hotel and use multiple elevators and walk down a longer hall. Either option wasn't too bad. The room wasn't as the photos advertised which was a bit upsetting, as I booked it specifically for the layout/setup. It did still have everything that was in the photos though, so I could look past that. It also had many extra towels which was great. Unfortunately, though it was a suite it had 0 cutlery which was a bit annoying. TV in bedroom didn't work and bed also was very hard and not super comfortable. Room was clean and well kept though, so no huge complaints overall. Had a great view of the CN tower, and was very close to a shopping center and food court called The Well, which we were not familiar with before (thanks to the suggestion from an amazing woman at the front desk) and it was the next street over from King, which also has a lot food and shopping options. There is a parking garage connected to the building which makes it super easy to have a place to park your car and easy access to it at any time you need. It was a bit pricey at 45$ a day, but considering you can take the elevator straight to it from the hotel, it makes it easier than parking somewhere further away, and able to come and go whenever you want. Overall a great stay, would absolutely stay again.
