Markham Spa Hotels

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.

It's very convenient. There are two rows of restaurants downstairs and Costco is only 300 meters away. The room was clean and the air conditioner was adequate. Breakfast is also very American. Like it very much!

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

The room is in the Chinese district of Markham, opposite to the movie theater in the shopping mall. The hotel is very new. The room is very large and clean. The decoration is very Marriott, gray color, the bed is large, the bedding is comfortable, the bath water is very large and comfortable, from the front desk to the guest room There is nothing wrong with the service. The standard of a five-star hotel is certainly not comparable to that of a five-star hotel in China. I am very satisfied~ Markham is still a long way from the city. It costs about $40 to take a taxi to the city center or North York. If you come to Toronto for the first time to check in attractions, it is not recommended to live in Markham, Markham is a Chinese district, a paradise for Chinese stomach~

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

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.

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.

Before going to the hotel, we called to see if we could do an early check-in. They couldn't guarantee but said they would call if the room was available for check in. We killed some time before going to the hotel as they didn't call. We went to the hotel after the check-in time (3pm). The room wasn't ready, even though check in time had passed. They told us it would be ready ”soon” but ultimately it wasn't ready until almost 5pm, two hours late. This type of inconvenience is challenging, particularly when travelling with young kids who just want to get to the room. They told us that staffing was an issue because of a snow storm, which I could see being realistic in the morning, but by afternoon, most roads were clear. The room itself was fine, but realistically it was pretty small to be called a suite. The fridge doesn't even open the whole way before it hits the counter. My other major issue with this hotel was the amount of waste generated. The CEO of Hilton said (2021 Sustainability Report): ”There has never been a more important time to double down on our commitments and raise the bar on our environmental and social goals. In the coming year, as climate science and best practices continue to evolve, we will set more ambitious environmental targets that will help preserve the destinations where we live, work and travel, and pave the way to a net-zero future. ” Hilton has a priority of Preventing Waste and Contributing to a Circular Economy. Hilton's ambitions include a 50% reduction in waste by 2030, but there are some very easy quick wins that could be implemented at this hotel today (breakfast had disposable plates/bowls/cups/cutlery). In my observation, I did not see anyone take their breakfast to go. Simply swapping our their disposables with regular dishes and cutlery would be an easy way to reduce a LOT of waste. Going further, there's no reason that the bedrooms need to continue using the small shampoo/condition etc -- they should be transitioned to the larger, dispensing models.
