Top University District Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto Airport & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean with respectful staff"

Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely — I’d add that detail naturally to the review: We stayed here for one night after arriving late from the airport, and it was a great choice. The location is excellent, only about 10 minutes from the airport. The room was very comfortable and clean, and we really appreciated that the restaurant on the property stays open until midnight, so we were able to get something to eat after our late arrival. Kids were also allowed in that section, which was perfect for our family. Overall, it was a very convenient and comfortable stay. Highly recommend!"
