InterContinental Hotel Toronto Review

Hi Folks!  WOW, I had the most fabulous trip to Toronto for the TBEX bloggers and sponsors conference.  I met incredible people and stayed in a wonderful hotel.  I wrote a review of the hotel on their site as well as on TripAdvisor.

I believe in sharing my experiences with other travelers so they know know what to expect when staying in various places.

When I entered the hotel, it's decor didn't strike me as a hotel.  It was more of conference setting.  I was checked in within a short period of time.  The hotel front staff & manager were more than friendly and helpful in getting my Priority points reward number to assign to my name & they gave me a complimentary upgrade, which I really appreciated.  I had a room on the 17th floor facing the river and the small TO City Airport.  The CN Tower was in front of me to the right along with the Roger's Centre and Ripley's Acquarium.

A little blurry but lit up!

The lights at night in the down town area were so pretty.  My camera didn't do a good job taking pictures at night if I didn't use the flash and I couldn't use the flash at night outside my window.

This is the actual color at night, so pretty.

View from my bed, amazing isn't it!

This is a great hotel supervisor!

Fabulous hotel check in staff

When I entered the room, it was lovely but it lacked in colour.  It really needs to have a change.  Colour lights up a room.  Overall, I really can't complain though. The room was large, open with a great view. free internet with my Priority club membership.  Fast internet, lots of shows on TV and a really nice bathroom with a scale.  I do suggest that the wallpaper needs to be changed as well. 

The bed! Well, I can't tell you enough how great the bed for sleeping was!  The pillows were so comfortable as well as the mattress.  The coverings and sheets were fresh smelling too.  I really appreciate a good sleeping arrangement and the Intercontinental Hotel gave me that perfect sleep.

The Concierge Callum went above and beyond his service to get me an electrical cart since the TBEX conference was so far away.  The WTCC is so large that I had a very difficult time getting to and from the hotel which was connected to the WTCC.  I would suggest that the hotel start to have these carts in stock as I believe that guests would gladly pay to rent them when staying there for a conference.  Here is my Callum, thank you so much.  You are a true asset to the InterContinental Hotel!

My hero Callum!

This is the electric scooter  Callum rented for me.

The hotel operator and room service were wonderfully friendly and fast.  I requested a late check out since I am a Priority Club members but I ended leaving earlier. The made appreciated my tips to her that I left her daily.  They work hard to keep our rooms cleaned and I appreciate workers like this.

I highly recommend staying at the InterContinental Hotel when in downtown Toronto and to fly into the TO City Centre Island airport. A very short free ferry ride brings you to down town TO and a short $10 taxi ride to the hotel or if your knees are in good shape, you can walk it in 10 minutes.

Leaving the hotel, I had express check out.  The Concierge Jackie worked great to get my charging cord to me so I can return to the hotel from the TBEX conference are. Then the bell man and the door man worked to get me into my cab and off to the airport to fly home.

I had the BEST time in a long time at this hotel and to attend a fabulous conference with the TBEX travel team with bloggers like me and sponsors. 

Thank you so much for a great experience!
