The Shangri-La Toronto lives up to the expectations of its name. The staff, from the bellboys, to check-in staff, the maids, and other persons at the hotel, were all quite friendly, courteous and helpful. The staff was considerate in facilitating an early check-in as my flight arrived much before check-in, while I also received a complementary bottle of wine for celebrating my girlfriend's birthday at the hotel. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the rooms are equally beautiful. It is situated nearby a number of restaurants and coffee shops, and has a mini grocery store opposite the hotel. I would only say one, likely a one off issue that I had, which was that the top bedsheet caused me to itch a bit.
