Detailed Reviews
The rooms are too small and the furniture is overdue to be replaced. The bathroom was remodeled and good except for the toilet seat. It was undersized and flimsy. (Must have picked it up at one on the cheap China import stores.) There was a musty odor to the room. The complimentary breakfast was good and the high point of our stay.

Hello.
Last week, I was check in on friday April 6 for staying in Markham for 2 days and checking out on Sunday April 8 with my family. I was in the room 138 and it was terrible experience. Not only i found 2 spiders where my husband crush it with his shoes but also ants were crawling in the bathroom. I called in the front desk to tell them however they say no worry we are ensure that we dont have any bugs . so i was like ok,but my night there sleeping with my 2 kids and husband is terrible. The bed mattress was way too soft and i can feel the box spring under. Secondly, i found out on the blankets theres trace of burning. Is it normal? i dont think so. im pretty sure this blanket came from the smoking room. Im really disappointed with this hotel. I like the location however not the cleanliness of the room at all. I pay 109 before all taxes per night and wanted to spend a nice vacations with my kids before they go back to school but really im totally disappointed with the service of this hotel.

I stayed in this hotel for one night on a business trip to Markham. The room was clean and reasonably appointed. The front desk staff was efficient and friendly enough. The only discomfort that I had was at the continental breakfast (which only cost $2.75 and is served in the lobby), when I was given the evil eye for asking for a glass of milk instead of tea or coffee. Reviewers - quit your bellyaching! This is a Comfort Inn, for God's sake! If you want the amenities of the Ritz, pay five times as much and stay somewhere else!

This hotel is brand new and the first Spark in Canada so we couldn't wait to check it out. What a stunning transformation! We had a great stay. Loved the room colour scheme and comfortable mattresses. Also enjoyed the bagel bar breakfast. Will return again soon!

I come to Toronto frequently on business and stayed in many hotels.
I'm not a very picky person, but my stay at the Comfort Inn was one of the worst i've experienced in my travels.
My room was disgusting....the sheets were soiled and stained, it stunk like smoke eventhough i asked for a non-smoking room, and the bathroom was grimey.
As i brought up these issues to the staff, they were not apoligetic at all and very rude to boot. They did nothing to rectify the situation and i was basically stuck with what i got. This was the first and last time i stay at any comfort inn.

Started off great, asked for a basic smoking room and the lady at the counter said $99/per night. Coming from a Ho/Jo down the street, mentioned they were offering $89 (but they didn't have smoking), "If you could match them I'll take it"... "Done" she said. After heading out to take care of some business, I came back to check in. Since some time had passed, it was a different rep at the counter, but when he looked up the name he saw the amount stated and off to the room I went. Dropped the bags/stuff in the room, left to grab some take out and brought it back to the Inn. After eating and television, it was time to crash as it was late already. Here comes the part you want to take note of... Adjusted the heat to high, the room was cold (understandably, considering it is Toronto in Feb. and they're not going to leave the heat on when there's no occupant(s)). Sleepy time... around an hour in, I start to feel discomfort, a lot of restlessness. Soon after, I remember scratching and itching... In a half deep sleep... tossing and turning, thought it might be the heat. Got up to reduce the setting, continued back to my in and out sleep experience. Recall thinking "I should go and get another room, something is wrong here." But because I was in that slumber, figured it was not worth the hassle of grabbing the gear and arranging for a swap... all this in a semi-conscious state of mind, sort of like a dream. Finally, had woken up from one of the worst sleep experiences, to realize the bite on my wrist was from a bed bug (saw it earlier, but shook it off as not a big deal, possible pimple). Continued to have the itchy feeling, at the back of my neck and also the inner thigh. When finding the bite on the knee, figured I had enough to show them what was up (It is known for indications to be visible after 24 hours). Now the not so fun part... In a city where your guilty before proven innocent, where the truth is found further than pluto... bringing it to the attention of the staff. That I did, and out came Nick the manager. He headed to the room to inspect, and after a few minutes, a staff member had asked if I could go to the room on his request. When I entered, there was Nick, a maintenance guy, and what appeared to be a cleaning lady. With the mattress flipped up, he pointed out the bed bug cover (which I saw before leaving the room earlier), stating that it is not possible because of this. In fact, it's more proof that they were trying to contain the problem, where he was claiming it as preventative measures. You see, bed bugs nest in the seams (edges) of mattresses and can live without feeding on blood for up to a year. If contained in this cover, after a year they should die out. But they are not full proof, plus they also live in the wood works of the frame. They can only be stopped through regular chemical treatment... Which is costly for the service, and closes the room from revenues. Plan B, a $10 cover and cross your fingers. There was no beating the arrogance of Nick. I looked him in the eye and asked (already knowing the answer from the bed bug cover) "Have you ever had a problem with bed bugs at this hotel." he answered "No, never." As soon as he said that the maintenance guy flinched and turned his head, a subconscious body movement when he heard the lie. In the room he lead me to believe he would comp a night, or even another at a different hotel if I was not comfortable with this one. This was quickly revoked in the lobby, when he acted like that was not what he meant. Here we go... the pay off for reading this review... The "Delta Hotel", where I'm sitting and writing this. Down the street on Hwy 7, $94, four stars... pool, spa, gym, room service and no bed bug covers. Not bad for five bucks more, eh. Stay away from The Comfort Inn (this one at least), unless you want to catch a glimpse of Nick, someone who needs to find God.

Dear Tripadvisor Member, Thank you for taking the time to post a review of our property. We take every guest complaint seriously and it is our sincere aim to deliver the best customer service. Upon check out you complained to the front desk staff about feeling itchy from bed bug bite. Since your complaint required immediate attention, the Maintenance Supervisor & the Head Housekeeper performed a thorough inspection of the bed linen and there were no blood stains or bugs that could be found on the linen or the pillows. We then proceeded to take the bed apart for further inspection and did not find any evidence of bed bugs. At this point we requested your presence in the room to show you that the room was bug free. Due to warnings posted by the city about bed bugs, the hotel has made a major investment on purchasing encasements for all our mattress and box springs as a preventive measure to ensure that all our guest enjoy a bed bug free environment. Based on the investigation conducted in your presence it was very clear that there was no evidence of bed bugs. Therefore the complaint did not warrant any compensation. Regards, Nick Udayakumar

We stayed in a whirlpool suite on November 25-26 2004. The room smelled like an old dirty mop and we fled to the nearest walmart to pick up frebreeze to freshen the room, even that did not help. Also, there was this nasty smear (looked like taco bell) on the carpet. The housekeeping staff was not pleasant at all and just glared at us as we left or arrived at our room, never said hello or aknowledged us in any way. Also, right across was a man (drunk) who keep telling someone to shut up, f...and his last trip to the ice machine was at 6:04am...guess where our room was....... I was very disgusted with whole hotel and will never ever consider another comfort inn again.....helen

My husband and I passed a night on Dec 26, 2011 at this hotel. The hotel is very, very clean and we are very obsessed with cleanliness. Our room was spacious and you could walk on the floor bare feet (no stains)! The staff was polite and attentive. Now, here it comes, my husband forgot his medication bag and Nathan at the front desk, I do not know if he is the manager or not, he surely act like if he is, took time out of his schedule to send my husband medication via mail the next day and that is what I call CUSTOMER SERVICE. we live in the Niagara area and it would have been a pain to go back. We will definitely go back to this hotel next year for our yearly Canadian Family reunion in Unionville. Thanks Nathan!

Wow..... Stay away is all I can suggest. I stayed there as part of a corporate event in August 2008. I stayed 3 nights, along with approx 20 other people.
Check-in was simple, given my key and told where my room is. I march on up to my room at the farthest point from the front desk (I'm OK with that) . Along the walk however the hallways were full of garbage bags, and beer cases. This was at 4:30pm, maid service was cleaning rooms and as they went down appeared to leave all the garbage bags from the rooms along the hallways. This is prime checkin time for a hotel (4:30pm) what on earth were they thinking?? So I get to my room, and my room card/key does not work. I ask the maids can they radio from desk to confirm that I just checked in, so that they can let me into my room, drop off my bags, then I will walk back to get a new key... they would not do this for me. So I march back down to the front desk with bags in hand. The girl at the front desk says "let me guess, your key doesnt work" I say no... then behind me, a guy says, mine didnt work either. I get TWO new keys this time, and make my way back up... they work.
My room was nice, aside from the smell that other reviewers described. The room was furnished well, and relatively clean, aside from a beer bottle at the foot of the bed.
The 2nd night I returned to the hotel, take the long walk to my room, and neither of my keys work, I make the trek back to front desk, tell them my keys dont work, and they blame me. She tells me not to keep the key in my pocket with me cell phone, dont leave it ontop of a laptop. So i challenge her on her assumptions, and inform her its not the first time I've used a hotel key thank you, it was not on a laptop, and I do not keep my cellphone in my poket, and let me remind you its not the first time I have had to come to you to get my keys fixed. She keys them, gives them back to me, I go back to my room, but pass two co-workers staying in different rooms walking down the stairs to the front desk to..... get new keys.
It is a problem this hotel must fix, but instead they attempted to lay the blame on me.
The breakfast was good, waffle maker, toast, engligh muffins, fresh fruit, cereals, hard boiled eggs. It was good.
My largest objection (aside from the trash and keys that dont work and front desk staff that dont care....) believe it or not was simply location. There is NOTHING around this hotel. NOTHING. On their website they list all the restaurants nearby, all the services..... there are none. There are restaurants that have gone out of business however. I walk out the front door, look left, look right in one direction I see highway, in another I see a road with rtraffic lights so I go in that direction. About 5 blocks away I find a place to eat dinner. Unless you are able to drive to eat, or willing to pay for a cab, do not stay here. this is not a good location to host business partners who arrive from out of town, and take a cab to the hotel.
The general consensus of my co-workers (20 who stayed there) was that we begged our company to never send us there again.

We live an hour outside of Toronto and usually commute in and out, but this was a bitter cold February and, rather than chance the weather getting even worse, I jumped on Hotwire.com for the first time. On Hotwire you don't find out the hotel name until after you book; I was given the Comfort Inn. THEN I read the reviews and was pleasantly pleased. However, upon check-in I was told that ALL Hotwire bookings are smoking rooms. No warning I could see to this effect on the HW website. I pulled out my wallet and begged: 'anything, anything but a smoking room and while you are at it can I buy an upgrade to a king?' We were given a non-smoking, king sized room for - NO EXTRA CHARGE! Yes the hotel is a bit tired, but no worse than any other in this price category and it seems everyone knows it's a great stay for the money because it is usually crowded. Because of the nature of our visit breakfast had to be early, but it was still easy to see how, with the tiny and poorly laid-out breakfast room, 8-9 am could be sheer chaos. That said, at 6am you get a good, hearty, reasonably peaceful breakfast. BONUS - have dinner at the Chinese Buffet across the street - pricey but unlike any other Chinese buffet you've had in Toronto and well worth it. Our room was comfy, quiet, clean and everything worked - overall, you could do a lot worse. For the price and kind service, I'd stay again.
