- Given the circumstances, it was a good experience. The hotel personnel was polite.
About the food:

- Coffee machine with coffee pods and tea in the room.
- The food is fine, and you can also order Ubereats or other delivery services since the portions of food can be kind of small.
- The meals were on time and tasty.
About the room :
- I wish there were a fridge and a balcony.
- Good room, comfortable beds and good food. Everything is very clean.
- The room was clean and modern.
Fairfield Inn and Suites Toronto Airport
Average price: Around $980 CAD (taxes included) for a three-night stay, single occupancy.
What travellers thought, according to testimonials collected on the Facebook Group “Canada Hotel Quarantine/Hôtel Quarantaine”:
About the service:
- Overall experience for us (my husband, I and my 1.5-year-old son) has been kind of satisfactory till now (we are at our minimal expectation after a 15-hour direct flight).
About the food:
- The food has been quite good, and they’ve been good at accommodating my dietary restrictions. I was ready to start ordering from outside in case it wasn’t good, e.g. Skip the Dishes, but thankfully have not had to do that. They haven’t offered menu service – food has been whatever they’re offering for everyone at the given time (with dietary restrictions accommodated), but they say they’re working on that.
- Food can be ordered from UberEats / Skip The Dishes and groceries from Walmart.ca. The lunch was basic but good, and they provided fruit loops, fries, fruits, and milk for the baby on request.
- The food so far has been good.
About the room:
- The room is clean and comfortable.
- The room is nice, comfy beds (very soft if that’s something that would hurt your back), and pretty big.
- My only complaint is that the room wasn’t cleaned to the proper standard. There were hairs in the bathtub, and the desk had gunk on it, so it definitely hadn’t been cleaned properly. I ended up requesting cleaning supplies from reception, which they brought up quickly (and offered to change my room), and I’ve now cleaned every surface myself. Not really something you should have to do in an isolation room!
Toronto Airport Marriott Hotel
Average price: Around $1020 to $1124 CAD (taxes included) for a three-night stay, single occupancy.
What travellers thought, according to testimonials collected on the Facebook Group “Canada Hotel Quarantine/Hôtel Quarantaine”:
About the service:
- The check-in process was smooth and easy. The staff was also very helpful and nice throughout the whole process, from booking the hotel to checking in.
- No one was helping the shuttle bus to unload the luggage.
- It has been a good experience. We are comfortable, safe, and the food has been good.
About the food:
- The food was fresh and warm and tasted great (wings and fries with buffalo sauce on the side).
About the room:
- The rooms had no toothbrushes and not enough shampoo for 2 people, even for one night.
- Nothing in the room to sanitize except for only 2 hand wipes on the table.

Average price: Around $930 to $1084 CAD (taxes included) for a three-night stay, single occupancy.
What travellers thought, according to testimonials collected on the Facebook Group “Canada Hotel Quarantine/Hôtel Quarantaine”:
About the service:
- They had trolleys available at reception to take luggage to your room.
About the food:
- Meals were provided 3 times. They were always on time. They had halal, vegetarian and dietary restriction options available. The food portion size was quite good for 1 person. The taste might not be the best, but I feel that is ok.
- There was no menu, but they asked about my dietary restrictions at check-in. Food was delivered contactless outside the room in paper bags.
- Receiving cereal that I would take on a camping trip was certainly not the waffles and bacon that I was hoping for, but it’s edible.
- Overall food quantity per meal was good.
About the room:
- The rooms were nice and comfortable.

- The room is very comfortable.

Sheraton Gateway Toronto very inconsistent with their quarantine refund policy. Asked for refund and was denied and yet hours later others posted on Facebook group that they had received refunds that same day. Others had also previously posted about refunds. Being snowbirds and paying $1741 was bad enough but even more insulting is the inconsistency in their refund policy. Although they deny it when we leave a prepaid room early they are rebooking that room so getting double the revenue for 1 night. Where else are you forced to pay for a service that you are not receiving?? This is such a scam.
