Clean and bright and well-appointed
The service was incredibly friendly, the bed super comfortable, and the room really clean and welcoming! We had a great stay. There were a few drywall patches on the ceiling in need of paint, but I wouldn't hesitate to book the annex again the next time we are in Toronto.

Great location with tons of easily walkable dining options. Loved the proximity to the trains. Smooth, contactless check-in and check-out. It was a little annoying some days to have to shlep up to the 3rd floor because the building doesn’t have elevators, but wasn’t too bad.

Super friendly and helpful staff (and you're actually communicating, in text conversations, with the person who's there to greet at the reception when you arrive!), and very quiet, very cozy. Tres cool lounge. Great location in the city - easy to get to the subway.

Not your average hotel. Looks unassuming from the outside but it was clean and stylish inside. They have old school turn tables in the room which was cool. Staff is very friendly.

Area around was a little messy and run down but that is to no fault on the annex. The annex itself was perfect for me and my wife's stay. Perfect decor and vibe.
