“Midtown Toronto”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We had just moved out of another hotel due to the noise and cleanliness of a US based hotel chain to our disappointment.
Novotel let us go up to one of the rooms to check it out before booking. When they heard that a senior was with us, they found a room with handicap access. Pros: staff is very professional and helpful, CLEAN room, reasonable rate (AAA discount), parking come&go as you need, situated in an office complex which has access to local shops (coffee shops, library, nail salon, clothing stores) and underground access to the subway and across the street to a major grocery store, Staples, salon, etc.
Cons: Room was small but cleanliness makes up for it, TV access is complicated since you can use the internet through the TV, Internet access is good once you figure out how to connect
Other: has a gym etc. but no time to use it
YES we will definitely go back.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review, always nice to hear you came to us from a competitor.
I have to admit internet access thru the television is a little confusing and not as fast as our complimentary wifi... I opened up more bandwidth last week, so even quicker now.
Look forward to welcoming you back to our hotel.
Regards, Michael.

“Good Staff and Service, Big issues with Wifi”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

Beautiful hotel, perfect location for the business I needed to complete and staff was accommodating.
Wifi was an issue, they have problems through out the building. They even provided wifi signal boosters which in my case did not improve the situation.
Unfortunately the rooms are not hardwired, so I ended up using the lobby computer much of my staff.
The staff accommodated me financially for this issue and were extremely helpful.
The room service and food was very good, would highly recommend the restaurant on main level.

“Value for money, great for Toronto Centre for the Arts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

This was a basic 3.5-4 start hotel. It was clean, comfortable, reasonably priced and we would stay here again if we were planning to see a show at the Arts Centre again. Don't stay if you are looking for super-luxury, but for the price it was worth it and we liked the king-sized bed. The restaurant, Trio, was a gem in the neighborhood. We hadn't expected much because it's a hotel restaurant and it was empty when we arrived. But the food was amazing! We'd definitely eat there again.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Spent a couple of nights there with my husband and 2 children. The rooms need refreshing. The water temperature of the pool was too cold, so was the temperature overall sitting on the pool area. Some friends came and had brunch with us at the hotel restaurant. The waiter put the bills on the table and kept on coming to check if we had paid, kind of pushing us out of the restaurant. We were talking and taking our time. We found him very rude. I have never experienced this before anywhere in a restaurant. He even started moving the plastic on which the bills were to make a point that he wanted us to pay him right away!
It was not possible to lock the door from inside our hotel room as the lock was broken. This feature is very important with young children to ensure they don't go outside the room, and it feels safer at night too, but unfortunately it was broken on our door.
When we checked out of the hotel, I realized after leaving that they had charged us 25$ per night worth of mini-bar when we didn't use anything from the mini-bar. It was not possible to lock the door of the mini-bar and my son kept on opening it to take candies out so we had to hide them from him but always put them back when leaving the room, not necessarily at the exact same place. I had to call 3 times and talk to different people to have the 50$ removed from my bill, so ensure you're not being charge for the mini-bar if you don't use it! Novotel will not see us back to their hotels!

Thanks for posting a review, disappointed that you did not enjoy your stay with us.
Just wanted to emphasise how important guest security is. Afew years ago we had to remove the additional deadbolt, I believe because of local fire regulations, however there is an optional deadbolt built into the main door lock, which does not allow anyone access. Unfortunately in today's world security has become our No 1 concern for our guests.
The minibars are automated and can understand the frustration when children move items around, however the front desk team are very understanding and when highlighted will adjust the invoice.
I hope you will try us again in the future,
Regards, Michael.

Many thanks for your positive review, I'm going to follow up about the dry air in the bedroom. I'll ask the team to check the humidifiers. It is the first time I have had a comment about dry air so maybe there is a tech problem.... I'll sort it.
Thanks again, Regards, Michael.
