The Bad
Several guests who stayed at this hotel did not enjoy their stay and one persistent complaint had to do with the lack of peace and quiet.
Numerous guests complained about noise while staying at this hotel and the nearby pub was a big part of that. Many guests complained about the "real struggle" involved with "getting a good night's sleep" and "the drunk crowd" that emerged from the Madison Pub was often finger-pointed.
One guest explained how the "noise from the bars next door" prevented him from getting much sleep and another guest described a scene where a group of partiers sang "Oh Canada at 2:30am." There were also a fair number of guests who were disturbed by "the rumble" of Toronto's subway.
The staff did not consistently impress guests as they were often depicted as unhelpful. One guest, for example, claimed a staff member would not call him a cab but rather suggested that he use his in-room phone book to find one and call it himself.
The hotel's breakfast was "nothing fancy" according to some patrons who described a "dreadful" meal that was called "cold," "tasteless," and/or "stale."
Guests that did not like their rooms often said that they were small and occasionally the hotel received criticism for not having an elevator.
