A Toronto Budget Hotel View That's Worth the $30 Upgrade

Where: 280 Bloor St. W. , Toronto, ON, Canada, M5S 1V8

We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.

The photographer who snapped the shot of the Toronto Days Inn with the budget view actually switched hotels in between two conferences — and then upgraded (well, the view at least) to a Holiday Inn with this view.

He reportedly paid $30 more here at the Holiday Inn Midtown than he paid at the Days Inn, and we'd most certainly be happy with a window like this.

But it's possible that all you're really paying for is the location and view; TripAdvisor reviews seem to mostly say positive things about the hotel's area and convenience to U of T (though, to be fair, those are only the most recent reviews — earlier posts say the hotel is "consistently fine").

Rates here look to be startin' at $135.99 CAD ($120 USD).
