Grand Hotel & Suites, Toronto - Bottom Line:

The Grand Hotel & Suites Toronto offers excellent value close to many Toronto attractions. Rooms run from about Cdn$150 plus 12% tax. Prices quoted include hot buffet breakfast and complimentary shuttle to and from downtown Eaton Center.

Grand Hotel & Suites Toronto Perks:

  • Though just slightly east of Toronto's downtown, the Grand makes sense for people who don't mind walking a couple of blocks or taking the hotel's complimentary daily shuttle. Guests make up for the extra walking in savings; the Grand - given its quality - is less expensive than its downtown counterparts.
  • All Grand guests receive a hot buffet breakfast, including Starbucks coffee, each morning.
  • The hotel terrace on the top floor has two hot-tubs - grab a bottle of champagne and you have a nice, inexpensive nightcap spot.
  • Free wireless Internet in all rooms
