Best Western Parkway Hotel Toronto North

I stayed here for 2 nights recently. There were some really good things about this hotel and some bad things. Overall though, I don’t think I would stay here again.
The price of this hotel is excellent. For about $ 100/​night also included is free parking, free WiFi and free hot buffet breakfast. There’s also free fruit-​infused iced water in the lobby, which I thought was a nice touch.
The buffet breakfast is excellent. It’s shared with the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel & Suites, so it’s a bit nicer than your average free buffet breakfast. It’s actually in the Crave Restaurant which is in the Sheraton, but don’t worry, the two hotels are connected, so you don’t have to go outside. The selection of food items was huge. They had scrambled eggs, egg white frittata, hard boiled eggs, bacon, sausage, sauteed mushrooms, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, vegetable fried rice (!) and deep fried tofu (!) — yeah, the last two items are weird breakfast items, but that’s what they had. If you aren’t into a hot breakfast, they have continental breakfast items too like English muffins, bagels, muffins, toast, danishes, spinach pastries (!), cold cuts, cheese, fruit, yogurt and cereal. I didn’t eat everything obviously, but the items I did eat were fresh and tasted good (except for the cherry danish — the pastry was hard and tasted kind of stale). They also have a staff person there to make you omelettes to order (you get to select the ingredients) and they can also make you waffles. There are servers who come around and serve you coffee, tea, and juice. Since there is actual table service and it’s not entirely serve-​yourself, be prepared to tip (they bring you a bill with the amount that it would have costed you ($ 16.95/person) and then a 100% discount applied). There’s a place on the bill to charge the tip to your room or you can just tip in cash.
All staff at the hotel from the servers in the restaurant, to the front desk staff, to the cleaners were very nice, friendly and helpful.
WiFi was fast and very reliable.
Now onto the bad stuff: the rooms were not in good shape and the hallways smelled bad (musty). The comforter on the bed was stained, the place around the toilet paper holder was badly rusted, and I found the hallways creepy. I found the aesthetics of this place to be terrible. It looked rather run-​down. There are no elevators in this hotel so if you have heavy luggage you will need to drag it up and down stairs (unless you are on the main level, I suppose).
Parking, while free is hard to come by. The parking lot is shared with the Sheraton and other businesses, so you might have to wait around for a spot or drive all the way to the back of the hotel and walk all the way around to get in (and it’s kind of creepy to do so at night).
Despite the excellent service, awesome breakfast buffet and cheap price, I probably won’t stay here again because the rooms felt too run-​down.
The hotel is right at the corner of Leslie Street and Highway 7 East, in Richmond Hill. It is within walking distance to many restaurants, particularly Asian restaurants. It’s not far from Toronto if you have a car.

I would say so far this hotel isn’t HORRIBLE, I have stayed in far worse.
Do yourself a favor, if they offer you a first floor room don’t take it. It feel like you are walking into a mental hospital when you walk DOWN to the first floor (yes I said down). The door way to the hall way has that metal mesh thing in the windows on the door. When I walked down the hall to my room and opened the door nothing really jumped out at me. Normal all around, bed, flat screen TV and window. Wait, did I say window. Not so fast. I have a fake window due to the fact that I am below ground. I feel like I have been thrown in the hole in a fancy hotel and Lenny and Squiggy will come walking in any minute.
