Reviews of Filmores Hotel

This is an iconic hotel of Toronto. I came to the ballet and forgot to make reservations and at the last minute all my choice hotels were booked. So I ended up here as a last choice. Must confess that when I first saw it, I was dismayed by its appearance until I stepped in and was greeted by Megan, a very pleasant young lady. I requested a first floor room(no elevator). I was told these rooms have no A/C. I asked:does it have a fan? Yes. I’ll take it. The room was not that little, private bath and windows!!! Very important to air the place. Ran out and bought plenty of room freshness paraphernalia. Although we are in a heat wave, it was a very cool room. They should get rid of the carpet and place laminated floors instead. It is a very basic hotel. They provided 2 soaps, towels in the bathroom(need to bring your own toiletries). No hair dryer. A fan, Big flat TV, a table and two chairs, Full size bed. Drawers. Night table with lamp(that is not working). For a night it was not bad. I discovered a new place through my window-Esra’s. I reviewed in another post. The hotel is a few blocks from Younge-Dundas Sq Downtown Toronto. I saw plenty of young people checking in for the upper floors.
