Madison Manor Boutique Hotel

I booked this as I was curious about the boutique hotel having stayed in others previously and it was very close to my meeting venue. What I didn't realize was that it was in the heart of darkness related to drunken and disorderly conduct of university students which kept me up until 3am due to fights that broke out, screeching sounds of cars drag racing which was reminiscent of a fast and furious movie. Situated right between a chaotic bar for young adults and a frat house, in retrospect this was a horrible choice and it turned out to confirm my choice in spades. The beautiful victorian charm was there but at the least they should have decent quality beds and mine was not that. Two twin beds pushed together with one resembling more of a boat due to the springs having given way and the other side which likely is used by most in compensation of the boat slants you into the boat. Due to having lower back problems I had to fandangle the pillows to prevent myself from rolling into the discomfort and combined with the drunk and disorderly conduct, this translated into an absolutely horrible experience I was too glad to walk away from. Thank god for my company picking up the tab as I would NEVER pay for this experience with my own money but still, I felt it was a strong waste of money overall. Response from the management was luke warm and they tried to justify the chaos as "vibrant Toronto" which felt like a slap in the face and no accountability which may also be telling...

We had the Jr. suite which was excellent. Two very comfortable chairs and good lighting which is so often missing. The fireplace was lovely since the weather was dreadful. The coffee pot seemed missing. There was coffee but no pot, however since breakfast was free, it didn't really matter. The room was upstairs with no elevator which was a bit of a problem for my friend- steep steps and quite a few. The area of Toronto is terrific. I gather from a friend that the rooms tend to be small but the Jr. Suite was not and was perfect. The Madison restaurant does not seem in keeping with the hotel at all. It caters mainly to the local university students and is not good but there are lots of lovely restaurants along Bloor. The included breakfast was extensive and very nice indeed.

Very convenient, except the room was really cold

I was surprised to find out that weekend breakfast hours are different from weekdays. I was on a business trip for 3 days and had to wake up very early so I didn’t have a chance to enjoy included breakfast even though that was the reason I booked your hotel. Little disappointed

Great location. Good value for money. Courteous staff. Recommend.
