If you had the choice of staying with us (a top-rated North American hostel) or the Fairmont Royal York hotel (arguably Toronto’s most elegant hotel) where would you stay?
Well, call me shallow and disloyal but I’m leaning towards the Royal York!
The catch is that a low end room at the hotel will set you back $250 per night plus taxes!
So I’d opt for it only when someone else is picking up the tab.
Pete Stewart from the U.K. was here doing interviews for his TV music program SYNCLIVE.COM.
He’s one of their on camera presenters/personalities.
The crew and other personalities were housed at the posh Royal York. But Pete elected to take a room at our hostel!
Why? He finds the entire atmosphere warmer, friendlier, more convivial and much more fun!
You can catch Pete’s efforts at music fests everywhere at the website mentioned above.
He’ll probably back in Toronto this summer for the Jazz or Blues Festival or perhaps the North By Northeast Music Festival!
See you then Pete! I hear you are still picking us over the grungy four-star Royal York!
