| My wife and I really love the Primrose Hotel. After 10 years of marrige and three kids we both have busy schedules and can't always find time to getaway but when we do the Primrose is always our choice in Toronto. There are newer hotels in Toronto that have more services available, things like a spas, room service, and valet parking but what we really like about the Primrose is the consistincey in service. For example we always stay in the same room we never have to ask for it. We always order a certain bottle of wine, its always waiting for us in the room when we arrive. We always eat at the same restaraunt, we never have to make a reservation, its made for us. Its the little things that count most when time with a loved one is so limited. Try this hotel you wont be disapointed. |

| If you planning on just touring the sites this hotel is all you need. Reasonable for the price. Elevators are very slow however. Close to everything |

| Everything about the hotel was excellent, The staff, the decor, the finish, the location. They answered an e-mail enquiry promptly and provided a high level of service. When we encountered noisy the hotel responded within 3 minutes. The room was large and one of the best decorated, clean and well kept that I?ve been in. |

| The hotel was comfortable and included amenities for an inexpensive long stay. For example, my room had a microwave and refrigerator. The hotel staff members were friendly and helpful. |

| We stayed during the NXNE festival as our son was playing at one of the venues. I booked based on price and location, but then read some terrible reviews so I was nervous about what I would find. We arrived about 3 hrs before the listed check-in and the front desk clerk was very accomodating and actually found us a room that had just been cleaned. The room was terrific. Nice and clean, with big white duvets on the very comfortable beds. Furniture and carpets were newer and clean (couple of spots on chairs but hey...). Bathroom was very clean, as were the fridge and kitchenette area. Location was fantastic as we had to hit a number of clubs throughout the downtown area. Checkout was smooth, and they even let us stay in the parking garage into the evening on the day of checkout (parking is 23/day). Passed a couple of hookers on the way back to the hotel at 2:00am, but they didn't bother us. Note: I had to go to another floor for ice, and did notice that it didn't smell to great, or look as clean/renovated. So make sure you request a "RECENTLY RENOVATED ROOM" - which I did. Also, the elevators were a bit wonky, but we never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for one. All in all - great value for the money. Not the Ritz, but you wouldn't be looking here if you were willing to pay those prices!!!! |

| This is a nice hotel but the elevators could use an overhaul. My 3 children (11, 9 and 4) and I got stuck in the elevator on the way to the pool. Thankfully the doors opened and we were able to hop down, as the car was stuck between floors. We ended up walking down the stairs from the 19th floor to the 3rd floor pool. But throughout our 2 nights at this hotel we waited for the elevator a lot. |

| This hotel was in an exciting neighborhood and was comfortable. But, seriously, the elevator would take about 10 minutes to come every time. I guess we really got to bond with the other guests over the slow elevator. It seemed like only one (out of 6) was running at a time. I know this doesn't sound like a big deal, but it made us annoyed every time we come back or left from the hotel. Other than that, it was about 2 blocks from the subway and Younge street. Younge street had a ton of restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. A bit far from the water, but we didn't mind. The restaurant breakfast closed at 10, which was too early for us, but there were a lot of brunch places close to the hotel. |

| Just wanted to say thank you to the Staff of the Best Western Primrose Hotel for making a romantic weekend away for me and my fiance so special. The rooms were clean, location avgerage but the staff were very friendly and helpful. My fiance and I barely have time to see eachother anymore so it was nice to be so well looked after and not have to worry about all the little things that some hotels can't get right. Yes the chocolate covered strawberries and champaign arrived on time!!!! The weekend got better from there!! Maria P.S> I found the 23.00 parking rate to be high we thought we were in New York! |

| The best western primrose was everything we needed it to be. It was clean and affordable in the heart of the toronto downtown. Subway was very close to the hotel. We spent the majority of the day seeing the sights, so we barely spent anytime in the hotel. For the brief amount of time we were in the hotel it was everything we needed- a big bed and a shower. |

| There is nothing special about this Hotel but the staff are friendly the rooms are clean and the Internet connection works like I'm at home. I'm a small business owner from Boston who comes into town 2 -3 times per month to meet with Canadian distributors. The Primrsoe always makes me feel welcome. |

| The hotel was very easy to find and was easy access to and from the highway. The only problem I had was the microwave did not work. I forgot to report it. |

| It met my expectation, even though they do not have any non-smoking room, they helped us to find one with little smell. |
