Top University District Hotel Reviews

TOOR Hotel Toronto, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place. Would recommend"

Monte Carlo Inn & Suites Downtown Markham

10/10 Excellent

"I needed a hotel in the area that wasn’t gonna break the bank and the Monte Carlo came up. I’ve stayed at a few Monte Carlo Inns in the past and it was always just ok. Did the trick in the past so wasn’t expecting anything overly special. When I drove into the lot, I literally had to double check my address! From my very first sight outside, I was impressed! Walking in to check in, I felt as if I were in a much more upgraded hotel! Check in was easy and front desk staff was friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Inside my room, again, way more than I was expecting! Definitely has a feel of a much pricier accommodation! I checked out the gym, checked out the pool! Very clean and very inviting! My stay was relaxing and refreshing! Something I really needed to face the day head on the following morning! Highly recommend this Monte Carlo Inn! I’ll be staying there again next time I’m needing accommodation in this area again!"
