Love the Annex Hotel. They need to do a deep cleaning of the bathroom/shower tiling. It would also be amazing if there could be designated parking spots in the Lippencot Green P for hotel guests.

A very cool place to stay with great vibe. Numerous restaurants around and on the edge of Toronto’s famous Bloor St. Room was well fitted and far from conventional - perfect for solo travelling as well as couples - staff very helpful. Definitely stay again.
