“Different”
The Gladstone is different from the big hotel chains so if you are fed up with the same old thing, check it out. We stayed in 2 different rooms (spent a night in Niagara Falls in between). Although they were the ‘larger’ rooms, with bath tub, they were both smaller than you might be used to but were really interesting and most importantly, the beds were great! Also the linen, pillows, towels- all high quality. There was adequate room for clothes, cases etc.
The hotel staff were excellent, cheerful and helpful. The restored elevator is a feature- yes (as someone else said) you have to call the lift… but thats true for any lift! The food was good- especially the coffee and the Queens West tea and the grilled cheese for breakfast was great. (walnut raisin bread, applejack cheese and apple) At weekends try the pancakes with caramelised apple!
On friday night there is karaoke in the Melody Bar- dont miss it! Saturday its Country Music…. but plenty of other venues near by if thats not your style.
