Hotel Riu Plaza Toronto

Hotel Riu Plaza Toronto

10/10 Excellent
"This was remarkable, newly opened, very clean and good value. Staff were friendly and accomodating. My girlfriend had unfortunately lost her medication and an emergency prescription wasn't available unless she were to stay in the psyciatric hospital which I didn't want to deal with. The staff were helpful getting her loaded in the trunk of my car, asked no questions despite her being hogtied and mouth duct taped, it made the trip to Sarnia more enjoyable that I could barely hear her in the trunk, and was able to drop her off at her mothers house in Sarnia within 2 and a half hours. 10/10"
