A couple of guests described their beds as too firm, while one reviewer said that he was disappointed to discover that bottled water was not provided in the guest room.

One guest complained that the breakfast service began too late in the day, and therefore he was unable to take advantage of his complimentary meal. A couple of reviewers found that the on-site restaurant lacked an adequate selection of Canadian wine.

"The only amenity we missed was a hot tub/pool but apparently there are jetted tubs in some of the rooms. Light rail transit and shopping was right across the street. We would go back again!"

"Complimentary breakfast included in stay included everything on menu. Also received complimentary parking. The room had a jacuzzi tub. The front desk service was excellent. The only negative was that we did not receive wake up calls two mornings until front desk found out that are incoming calls were set to voice mail. This was a 4-star hotel at a 3-star price."

Verified Guest from Thornhill, ON CA rated Union Bank Inn 9 out of 10 on July 25, 2004 Verified Guest Hotel Review

"The only down side was that there was a wedding taking place on the Saturday night. We could hear the noise quite clearly in our room. The nightly wine and cheese plate in our room was a very nice touch, however, and while there was an additional parking charge, otherwise the stay was totally all-inclusive."
