Best Western Primrose Toronto &Lord Elgin Hotel Ottawa.

Lord Elgin is a very plain hotel with few amenities. It's in a good location though. I would recommend, however, the Chateau Laurier or the Westin.

Same for the Primrose in Toronto. You'll be comfortable, but you won't be telling friends about the great hotel you stayed in, either.Primrose location, at Jarvis and Gerrard, is medium convenient, ten minutes walk to the subway, and a streetcar at the door.<BR><BR>BAK<BR>

wouldn't recommend staying at Primrose. It's dumpy, considered low class, and is a neighborhood where there are alot of prostitutes.

When i stayed at the Lord Elgin about a dozen years ago it was very popular with the gay community. Is it still? Not that there's anything wrong with that .... but I did feel a little strange when I arranged to meet a business acquaintance, (also from out of town), in the bar and noticed a lot of men trading hot looks with each other accross the tables.
