Eaton Chelsea Hotel, Toronto, Canada

Eaton Chelsea Hotel is located at the heart of Toronto city. The hotel conveniently located within walking distance to the College Subway station, several restaurant and Eaton Centre shopping mall. You can easily book tour to the Niagara Falls and Toronto Premium Outlets from the concierge.

The hotel's room size is OK for me and the recreational facilities is clean and conveniently located on the top of the hotel. 

Room price starting from CAD149.00. But from my experience CAD196.00 is more easier to get. If you lucky to get the CAD149.00 room, you can add CAD30.00 to upgrade to club room with 2 breakfast.

By using public transport you can easily reach CN tower via Union Station. The view up there is spectacular. There is also outdoor observation deck. But you may need warm clothing if you visit the tower during fall or winter.

Queuing to buy ticket will be quite long if you arrive late morning during weekend. At the base of the tower, there is a photo shoot session. But it is up to you either to buy or not the photograph. The cost of the souvenir photos is CAD30. It is not cheap but maybe worth it if you rarely have opportunity to visit the tower.
