Description: I expected more, actually. There was no mini bar (not that I use them, but sometimes it's nice to have a place to put things needing to be kept cold). The rooms did not have separate controls for heat or cool - and although the windows opened and we had the window unit on, we just couldn't cool the room enough. The bare minimum was provided in the bathrooms. The soap was very drying. There were no mints on the pillows. They charge for access to the gym equipment.
The hotel was fine for sleeping and it was handy in that it was where my conference was held. It is just that I have come to expect a little more from the nice hotels in the world. They do have dataports on the phones and cables that will link you directly to the internet - if you have the fast connection slot on your computer (I didn't). You are charged CDN$1.50 per telephone call you make - no matter if it is local or an 800 number.
This hotel does have a stop right outside for the Airport Express, which was about CDN$25 round trip per person. Expect about an hour from the airport to the hotel, and the same for the return. Taxi would have been CDN$40 one way. The hotel also links into the Toronto Path - the underground that webs across the city, allowing the locals and tourists to stay out of inclement weather.
The price per room is roughly the US dollar equivalent of what I paid - and I had a special conference rate. Go to http://www.sheratontoronto.com/ for more information.
