If you’re looking for a cheap stay for a night, this one fits the bill. However, the area is quite sketchy. I lived in Toronto for a few years when I was younger, and still found the homeless/drug addict population to be off putting. Packs of them hang out in front of the building, in the alley and the adjacent park. While I didn’t feel “unsafe” (due to exposure when I lived on Queen Street East), it could definitely be intimidating for someone visiting the city for the first time. It’s a very run down building that shows its age and its typical clientele. I can say the CN Tower view from the room was a “plus”, otherwise this place isn’t ideal for anything more than a cheap night in the city.
