I liked how the hotel was built into the neighborhood. It didnt seem out of place. The room was clean and well stocked. The bed was comfortable. Sound carried fairly well as we could hear our neighbours.

The room is clean and tidy, and the bathroom is well constructed and also clean. Providing a netflix account for guests to use and a personalized booklet with local information/recommendations was a nice touch. The bed is also comfirtable.
Cons: the lighting is quite harsh, due to the fact there are no light shades to diffuse it. The lighting in the bathroom is the most pleasant. A kitchen towel or an easier-to-use drying rack would be nice to have

I enjoyed the experience very much. The Beach room was clean,spacious, with a great new bathroom and glass 2 head shower. The bed was very comfortable . There was a spacious refrigerator, and cutlery/ plates/ Keurig. The parking at the rear was available fortunately. It was a Friday night and the room was perfectly quiet despite there being a male dance club . I below. I enjoyed the great television channel selections and retro arcade game in the lobby.

This property was great for the price comparatively to other hotel options. There were multiple coded doors for safety. The hotel room itself was clean, had a microwave and fridge! The bed was comfortable and the dual shower heads were a nice touch! It is a fairly easy drive to get downtown (there is traffic but that’s expected in any big city). And there are options for public transit as well! This hotel is located near multiple running trails. Would very likely stay here again!

What a fun place to stay! Hotels in the West End of Toronto are limited and we were in town for a wedding so we booked the Westlake. Each room has its own vibe. We had the beach room which was super fun. Parking is limited, however we got there early and were able to secure a spot. They advertise an adult only hotel yet I did see children in the hotel and since there is no one at the front checking you in. There is no real way to monitor this. We would stay again if we need a hotel in the West end of the city.

The room was clean and as nice as advertised. Stairs only access so mobility concerns could be a factor if stairs are a challenge. Great insulation so you dont really hear your neighbours ( only if they are flighting at midnight and yelling )but still muffled that white noise can drowned it out. The shower is deadly in the fact you'll never want to get it. This could cause delays if your on a time crunch so make sure you plan for extra time as it is so relaxing I wish I could take it with me. My husband now has one more item to our hunny do list. Thank you for an amazing experience. I highly recommend a stay at The Westlake.

I was initially concerned when I received the Expedia booking confirmation containing an exterior photo of the property showing a seemingly unconventional accommodation. My concerns proved unwarranted. Our room was clean, modern and comfortable. We got one of the 5 parking spaces, Ubered easily to and from Massey Hall and found an excellent breakfast nook the next morning ("Decourses") less than a mile away. Neighborhood is eclectic with lots of food and shops, trolly and bikeshare out front. My pillow was a little stiff but I'll being my own when we retun.

We had a really great time, the amenities were excellent and clean. Stayed in the bye Felicia suite which had a kitchenette, beautiful shower and bathroom, 3 bedrooms with 5 beds in total and they were extremely comfortable beds.
