Residence Inn Toronto Markham

Its the first time I have stayed in a Residence Inn. I am a fan of Marriott properties but won’t be staying at this one or any other if this is representative of the brand. The whole hotel and even my room smelt of food and pretty unpleasant food at that. Breakfast was awful and couldn’t get a decent cup of coffee

We’ve stayed here twice now, and have to say that it’s been delightful! We have been fortunate to have come here after the renovations, so keep that in mind.
The location of this place is pretty easy to get to, and I like that it’s away from the highway noise, but it’s only 5 minutes to the on ramp. It is directly next door to the Courtyard, and we have also stayed there. We haven’t gone back to the Courtyard in a while because quite honestly, it’s dated, with the exception of the lobby areas.
We have stayed in the studio queen room, and it’s very spacious. Funny enough, each stay has us in the same room so far lol! We’re not complaining as it’s a corner room. I would suggest that if you want more peace and quiet, request the corner rooms, and definitely a higher floor. Of course, you’ll get those much easier if you have Marriott rewards.
The room itself is bright and relaxing in décor, and most importantly, CLEAN! In contrast to the previous design, these rooms have the same layout but the fixtures are more neutral and of good quality. Even the sectional is comfy. The vanity on the outside of the shower area is nice and roomy, and I like that they’ve included drawer and cabinet space versus the previous empty cavity. The only thing I would have to say about the overall layout of the room (and this is only because I’m a designer) is that the pieces of furniture are not organized with the space in mind. It’s not maximized to the fullest, and the use of wall décor could unite these different elements easily.
Other than that, I love coming here, and recommend those who want the flexibility to prepare food in your room and have more family members, to come here. Staff is friendly and professional. Parking is free, and so is WiFi. 20 minutes has you into Downtown core of Toronto and a plethora of yummy eats are abound to delight you. :)

Renovations are still going on.
The rooms are really nice, clean and spacious. Staff were very nice.
Bonus stars for the free wifi and breakfast.

Good hotel going through some renovation. The service was good, we left our iPad in the room and the hotel called us as soon as they could to let us know.

This is my second times stay in this hotel in one year. Like other Marriott residence inn, it’s very comfortable.

I agree with other mediocre reviews. For the money, this is a hotel that is run down, thin walls, but clean .
Nice people at front and at breakfast. Below average breakfast, even for these types of hotels.
Worth staying here but barely.

This is a decent hotel for the area. Its definitely dated but well kept. The rooms aren’t exactly sound proof so you will hear your next door and above floor neighbors a bit. The beds are decently comfy and they have wonderful blackout shades to keep any sunlight from coming in if you need to nap or sleep weird hours. The bedrooms are a bit small. Luckily the closets were large enough to store your bag and such out of the way.
They have a small gym with an elliptical, treadmill and bike. Its small but there’s never anyone in it. They have an indoor pool that’s almost big enough to semi do laps.
The complimentary buffet breakfast is decent. For healthy eaters they have oatmeal, yogurt, hardboiled eggs, and fruit. For those of you willing to eat anything there are bagels, pastries, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, etc. Its a good mix of food to make almost any eater happy.

We’ve been here since Tuesday, 08÷27÷13, and there are 2 hairs that have been on one of our shower walls since our arrival (if not earlier). The shower curtain doesn’t obstruct the view of that particular wall, so I can only chalk it up to sheer laziness or lack of attention to detail as to why those hairs are STILL there. We still have another couple of days left before our departure, so let’s test their social media savvy and customer service follow through. Here’s a hint: We’re on the 2^nd floor. Let’s hope that when I submit another review at the conclusion of our stay, the hairs will have been removed and I can give the establishment more stars.

VERY clean hotel. Great staff as well.
Each night we saw a person steam cleaning the floors. EVERY night! That tells you how they clean.
The breakfast was decent as well. About the same as other hotels — but stocked and pplentiful.

A comfortable stay here. We came for the weekend as we were in town to celebrate great auntie’s 80^th birthday. Check in was quick. We had a one bedroom suite. It’s nice to have a separate sleeping area. Bed is comfy and slept through the night. There are two TVs and had alot of channels to choose from. The sitting area is a nice touch with a cool long sofa that fit for that extra person. This is a good place for that short term business stay. What I didn’t like was that lingering cooking/​food smell coming from the kitchenette, which is probably common in most of the rooms and hallways.
Stay comes with free breakfast and free wi-​fi. Unfortunately, the mister and I did not take advantage of those freebies. We took advantage of the free water and coffee in the lobby area. Indoor pool and tennis court is here. There are places to eat that are walking distance, but you are better off having a car to get around.

Friends loved the nearby Hilton Garden Inn for their wonderfully clean and comfy rooms, but this time around we were looking for a suite, which Residence Inn Marriott was able to provide.
A two bedroom suite came with comfy beds and fat pillows, a bathroom per bedroom (attached) with sinks located outside of the shower/​tub/​toilet with closet space, a kitchenette and livingroom area in the shared space, a tv per room, a couch that unfolds out (with the usual flimsy mattress), free wi-​fi, but no dishwashing detergent.
A nice cold/​hot breakfast is included in the price — ending at 10am on weekends and 9:30am on weekdays. Cereal, pastries, bagels (with a toaster), oatmeal, yogurt, canned peaches, strawberry sauce, breakfast potatoes, french toast or pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, and make your own belgian waffles. Coffee (not super weak like coffee often is in Canada), juices, milk.
A small swimming pool and a small exercise room with maybe 5 pieces of equipment located on the first floor. Outside there’s a sports court with a mini tennis court sharing space with a basketball net beside a nice sitting area where you can hang out to enjoy the fresh air.
Parking is plentiful and you can use your room key to enter through the side doors till perhaps 10pm or so.
A super-​easy walk to Times Square Mall.

This is another hotel we usually stayed when visiting Toronto.
The rooms here are little bigger than the Courtyard across the street.
Nice staff. Plenty parking.
Spacious room, usually come with a couch (sleeper sofa), kitchenette (microwave) and a small dining table.
Plus = Free internet connection in room!
