Advantages: Location, Room, Staff, Price! Disadvantages: Car Parking
...My partner and I have been to Toronto twice now, both within the last 24 months. Both times, we have booked up through Canadian Affair and got the fantastic price of £28 a night per person! (Must book flights with them to do this, but apparantly there's another website - priceline where you can book the rooms w/o the flights for reasonable prices.)
Obviously, we loved the Sheraton the first time round otherwise we would not have returned! The rooms are spacious and have the comfiest beds known to mankind :-) The room service was thorough and efficient daily. Staff at reception were polite and efficent, and the staff at the Toronto Tours desk were fantastic. We organised numerous outings with them the first time and, although we weren't going on any tours this time round, we asked them for advice on resaurants etc. which they gladly...

Advantages: A superb hotel for a bargain price via Priceline Disadvantages: I can't think of any!
...Mothering Sunday, 2004, was approaching and the 2½-year-old baby Josh nudged his proud father and suggested taking Amanda away for the weekend, which seemed like a great treat. Believe that if you will, but a bit of rather crafty pre-planning on my own part meant that I just happened to have a pair of cheap “Eurostar” tickets to Brussels already sorted out and I pointed my web browser in the general direction of “Priceline”, looking for a decent hotel. Not for the first time, I might add! It’s an exciting experience if, like me, you’re fairly cheeky. To cut a long story short, my offer of just £32 was accepted and we were allocated to the excellent “Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Brussels” – to give it its full title. I might add, in retrospect, that this was an absolute steal - just check out the rack-rate! Incidentally, Brussels...
