Why You Must Stay At The Delta-Marriott In Toronto

After spending months ransacking the internet searching for a spa tub room with a view – I hit the jackpot at the Delta-Marriott in Toronto. A hotel that offers so much more than just a room, and I might be a little bit bias here, but you’d have to see it to believe it. If I like something and find value in it, I do my best to share. I’m not a finders keepers kinda girl. I’ve lived in Toronto my entire life, and let me tell you, this hotel really did a number on me.

Birthdays are a big deal to me. I have hopped on a plane for every birthday over the past four years but this year was different (cue COVID-19). So, I wanted to have a birthday that was distinct from what I would typically do if I were at home in Toronto. Low and behold, google hooked a sister up. I found a spa bathtub room across the CN Tower, Ripley’s aquarium, and near the lakefront – solid steal.

Whether you’re a tourist or live in the city, Delta Hotels by Marriott on 75 Lower Simcoe Street is situated in a prime spot. You are a 7-minute walk to the CN Tower, Rogers Center, and Ripley’s Aquarium.

Imagine what a beautiful sunny day would have in store for you. Just park your car up and walk yourself everywhere.

Customer Service

We checked in around 5 PM and requested a late checkout, which they graciously granted for 2 PM the next day – this has never been offered in the history of my hotel stays. So, I took it and ran. The staff were friendly, helpful, and courteous. We called down a handful of times – forks, knives, bottle opener, bathrobes – towels, and more towels (for a one night stay, we were quite needy). The items were bagged and dropped off at our door with the staff 6 feet away at all times. I mean they had me at late checkout, so you aren’t going to hear a peep out of me.

Skyline Soaker Room

All the bases were covered. The basis being, cleanliness, room temperature, down comforters, fluffy pillows, spotless bathroom, and the most important part – a spa tub overlooking the city. The first thing I like to do when I get into a hotel room is jump right into bed. The bed covers serenaded my body, and my head melted right into the pillows. My birthday was at midnight, and I contemplated the need to stay awake (that darn tub).

Soaker Tub

If we’re staying at a hotel in the city – it’s to relax and enjoy the amenities. The spa soaker tub was the end all, be all reason we booked our stay here, and it certainly had me running around in circles with heart eyes. In all honesty, I certainly spent more time in the bathtub than the bed.

If I could open the window in the bathroom, I was certain I could have touched the CN Tower – that’s how close we were. Okay, I exaggerate a little, but it’s as close as it gets. At night you get the glimmering lights show, and during the day, you watch all the action while soaking it in from the top.

Amenities

Delta- Marriott provides onsite parking for a fee, laundry services, grab-n-go breakfast, a barber/beauty shop, an indoor pool, and a fitness center. Your room comes equipped with a coffee maker/tea service, mini-refrigerator, a television, WiFi, iron, alarm clock, and a safe. There is a smoke-free policy, and pets are welcome (major win).

If you are looking to book a room at the Delta-Marriott, specifically the soaker tub room, I suggest you book a non-refundable room and monitor the prices. From my initial booking up to 2 weeks before my stay – the price dropped about $50 CAD. I’ve seen the prices for as low as $160 CAD/night – so keep your eyes peeled.

Verdict

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend the Delta-Marriott hotel far and wide. The staff were keen to please. Anything we requested was delivered to us. We were granted a late checkout. The hotel room views left a glimmer in our eyes. If you’re staying at this hotel – don’t bother going out; better yet, don’t leave the tub, or you might regret it. Granted the opportunity, I would stay here again, without so much as batting an eyelash.
