Hotel berhampiran Cathedraltown, Markham

In the center of Markham. Good to stay for one or two nights. Need car to get there

Newly renovated hotel (still smelled new!) - everything was tip-top shape. Great comfy bed, nice bathroom with strong water pressure. Fast WiFi. As a Titanium elite, didn’t receive an upgrade, but received access to the pantry, a 24-hour room with coffee, snacks, pastries and desserts. It worked great. Fantastic gym and pool, even with a peloton! Starbucks in the lobby, this is a great choice for business travelers like me. Highly recommend!

Housekeeping knocked yr door every 8:30am, even though u hv put the ‘No, service’ card outside the door on the check out date. It is insane.

In general, the hotel was quite nice. Just if there were a hand shower head it would be perfect. Plus I would expect complimentary water.

Quite location. Front desk was welcoming upon check in. Studio suite very comfortable and clean. Nice lay-out, adequate lighting. No hotel pen and pad, envelopes, or desk stuff like that available in the suites. Not enough bathroom amenities. Towels were plenty. Kitchen needs a few more things, such as a kettle, especially for longer stays. Coffee machine or using the small pot to boil water just isn't the same for making tea and other things. I requested if a kettle was possible to get, they said no, to just boil water in a pot. Most of the front desk staff were very friendly and provided great service. Housekeeping staff provided great service and very friendly. Marriott needs to be more honest with their website list of amenities etc. offered at each hotel, i.e. there is no post/parcel or bottled water, or a few other things listed. When I asked, they would not even provide service for a letter size envelope to be mailed for me. I did offer to pay a service fee as well as postage. They said to go to a post office or drop in mail box, but too far a walk and I had other things pressing to do. They did though when I asked for bottled water one morning as I had run out of my own, say that I could come down to front desk and get some (complimentary). One other morning I did not bother as I was tired and still in pjs, and wanted to remain so for a while longer, but missed my morning coffee. However at other times requests were handled very willingly and promptly with service with a smile. I think it depended on who was involved. In general though, very good service. Breakfast is ok, but could be better. It is a small buffet but several things. Breakfast staff were great and friendly. I find their coffee very bitter. Some mornings scrambled eggs were cooked enough and sometimes quite raw. A breakfast staff member noticed I wasn't impressed and closed the lid and she brought a bowl of properly done scrambled eggs to my table! That was very nice of her. They need to change up and rotate the breakfast option a little more often, because it is a Residence Inn in that a lot of guests are long staying guests. Pool and exercise room available and clean. Being it is a 3-star hotel, I felt a four star rating was deserved. Marriott Bonvoy on the other is very difficult with their rewards program and I am not a fan any more. As already mentioned, their websites for their hotels is also very misleading. Considering all the bother and stress caused by that aspect of things, I will not be using Marriott Hotels anymore despite being an Elite Platinum Member. The hotel though was upping their rates too quickly and too high during my stay there. It is a good value hotel when prices match what they offer. However, whenever overhigh rates start occurring, it is no longer good value for what you receive in return. I can recommend this hotel for stays when rates are reasonable and fair, and for storter stays rather then longer stays (unless they improve a few things)

The hotel is about 40 mins walk from the quaint, historic town of Unionville and about 45 mins drive from Toronto. There is a train that runs direct from Unionville to Toronto. There are a few restaurants in Unionville and Markham, close to the hotel. The lobby area is a great space with wide open bar and restaurant with an impressive ceiling helix-like decoration above them. The gym on the third floor had ellipticals, treadmills, bikes and plenty of free weights and several weight machines. There is a lounge on the fourth floor, sadly the coffee maker was not working on our visit, but thankfully we were offered delicious coffee from the coffee maker in the bar on the ground floor. We moved rooms because our first room looked out across the street to another block of offices and shops, which we did not like. The second room looked out over the parking area but at least there was no construction and the view was open and bright. A big thanks to Ashan (receptionist- I hope I didn't spell your name wrong) for kindly moving us and to the bar staff- Bernice and Watson for being so attentive. Thanks for introducing us to some delicious Canadian wine from Niagara! The rooms were clean but we were surprised to see that the cupboards and shelves were open and did not have doors to them like in most Marriott hotels.

Like the convenient location, modern interior design. Some basic amenities such as slippers, toothbrush and shower caps were made available upon request. While the staff are friendly, it took me a few attempts before my calls to the guest service were attended to.

Good stay. Only things that makes it 4/5 are that they don't give slippers and the breakfast is too basic.

This hotel was very easy to book through Titanium elite services. They made the process very easy and gave us a nice upgrade. They were very helpful with accommodating with the suite that offers a small full kitchen including dishwasher, silverware, microwave, regular size fridge, kitchen sink, coffee maker Lots of living room space and tv in living-room and bedroom. Easy for parking. They have space outside for large F250 trucks since a truck won’t fit in their covered parking.

My wife and I recently spent three nights at the TownPlace Suites hotel in Markham, Ontario. We booked the room with our Bonvoy points, so I can’t comment on price. Markham is a suburb about 15 miles north of Toronto. We picked this location since it was near relatives we were visiting. It’s located on a fairly busy highway with various commercial businesses nearby. There is a Chinese restaurant (QJD Peking Duck), which we did not visit, on the first floor. The thirteen-story building actually holds two Marriott properties: Courtyard by Marriott on floors 2 - 8 and TownPlace on floors 9 - 14. The registration desk serves both hotels. The lobby has several areas for socializing. There also is a Bistro/Bar area. Conference rooms, a business center and a spa are off to the side. A fitness center and indoor pool are on the lower level. Wifi is free. Surprisingly, parking is not. Signs say that it costs $6 Canadian per day to park in the attached multi-level garage, but we apparently were not charged. Check-in was courteous and efficient. You need your keycard to access the elevator. TIP: There is no 13th floor; the elevator buttons go from 12 to 14! We were assigned room 915. TIP: the room was almost across the hall from the ice machine and one wall of the room directly abutted the elevator bank. While the noise was neglible, you might want to keep this in mind if you’re a very light sleeper. The room was clean and decorated in what I would call ikea style. It was like living in a studio apartment. A flat screen TV was on a two-drawer chest/dresser. A wall-mounted desk had overhead shelving, a vertical cupboard, desk chair and rollout table. The kitchen section had a sink, two-burner electric range top, coffee pot, microwave, dishwasher (!) and fairly large refrigerator. There were multiple cabinets and drawers filled with practically every kitchen item you’d need: pots, pans, dishes, flatware, soap, etc. And if they’re still something you might need, chances are you can get it from the front desk. (See pic.) A full-size closet contained an iron/ironing board. No sign of a safe. The sitting area contained a loveseat, ottoman and floor lamp. The king-size bed had five pillows. The bed was a little soft, but comfortable. It was flanked by nightstands and wall-mounted lamps with electric outlets. 
The bathroom was average-sized. The vanity had lots of counter space and several drawers. And a hair dryer. The shower was quite large, taking up about a third of the room. There was wall-mounted hand soap and hair/body wash (in the shower) by ALICE & Co+ botanicals. Shower pressure and temperature were fine. TIP: Don’t be alarmed when you flush the toilet - the sound is comparable to that generated by an airplane commode. Breakfast was included with the room and was served on the 14th floor. (Also requiring keycard access.) The offerings consisted of the usual combination of hot & cold items. Overall, we wer
