This is our second time staying at the Pantages, and not likely our last. Thanks to Hotels.com, we scored an upgraded room, and it was amazing. A large entertaining area and a separate large bedroom with queen bed had us feeling like we were living the Toronto life for a weekend. It was definitely more apartment/condo than typical hotel room. Couches were comfortable, Bed was comfortable (excellent pillows), and everything was super clean.
The location is great - you're walking distance to everything you'd want in the downtown core, and most importantly, my favourite breakfast spot in Toronto is in the same building. Seriously, go to Fran's for breakfast.
The staff are excellent - everyone was super friendly, and always helpful.
