Hotels Near Ajax Downs Racetrack in Ajax

We have stayed twice a month for 3 to 5 days at a time every month from April to August. Absolutely love the hotel. We did a previous review and issues were resolved. No resort fees so far. Beds are so comfortable and pillows firm unlike the ones that disappear when you lay your head on them. The ****** is what will keep us from going back. Very tight machines. Small wins but nothing worth mentioning and certainly not amounts that I even remember. Bring snacks as there isn’t a place to get reasonably priced snacks. A chocolate bar in the Vending machine costs 2.75.

We stayed here to avoid staying downtown Toronto and get a little better value for money. I was a quick 10 minute walk to the GoTrain station for a $10 ride (1hr) to Union Station. This is a viable option to avoid driving downtown. There are a number of restaurants in walking and a short drive away too. Check in was fantastic and quick with a nice employees who were fantastic. In fact, we left our car there for the day before checking in that night, and they had no issues. We would certainly say, the employees we interacted with were top notch. We had a nice room on the second floor and it was clean and comfortable. It was obviously recently renovated. We had a great nights sleep. There is a weight room and outdoor pool too, that looked good, but we didn't get a chance to use them. While the breakfast area was tight, it was clean, maintained, and had a good selection of food you normally see at a Holiday Inn Express. This will be an option the next time we are in the area.

Staff was friendly, room and common areas were very clean, internet was reliable and quick, breakfast was terrific! Only complaint is the bed covers. They were extremely thin - 2 bedsheets and a very thin blanket. Throughout the night they would slip off or get entangled, so I was waking up to fix them. It interrupted my sleep which is the only reason I am writing this in the review. Otherwise, our stay was terrific!

My first time visit. Location, facilities, cleanliness, breakfast served, as nice as the reviews read from internet before I chose this hotel. Complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate is provided. Parking is good and nearby. Breakfast is great especially the hot pancake, but no signature cinnamon rolls, feeling a bit disappointed. Staff in reception and breakfast area is nice (with smiling faces) and efficient, responsibly cleaning up tables and even CHAIRS with disinfectant. Customers are also highly cooperative in returning used dishes and utensils, really amazing. Swimming pool and hot tub is clean, seeing a staff member replenishing towels and picking up a barrel of used ones. The hotel is not noisy, had a good sleep indeed. Overall, it is a very positive, valued for money stay.

My wife and I recently spent three nights at the TownPlace Suites hotel in Markham, Ontario. We booked the room with our Bonvoy points, so I can’t comment on price. Markham is a suburb about 15 miles north of Toronto. We picked this location since it was near relatives we were visiting. It’s located on a fairly busy highway with various commercial businesses nearby. There is a Chinese restaurant (QJD Peking Duck), which we did not visit, on the first floor. The thirteen-story building actually holds two Marriott properties: Courtyard by Marriott on floors 2 - 8 and TownPlace on floors 9 - 14. The registration desk serves both hotels. The lobby has several areas for socializing. There also is a Bistro/Bar area. Conference rooms, a business center and a spa are off to the side. A fitness center and indoor pool are on the lower level. Wifi is free. Surprisingly, parking is not. Signs say that it costs $6 Canadian per day to park in the attached multi-level garage, but we apparently were not charged. Check-in was courteous and efficient. You need your keycard to access the elevator. TIP: There is no 13th floor; the elevator buttons go from 12 to 14! We were assigned room 915. TIP: the room was almost across the hall from the ice machine and one wall of the room directly abutted the elevator bank. While the noise was neglible, you might want to keep this in mind if you’re a very light sleeper. The room was clean and decorated in what I would call ikea style. It was like living in a studio apartment. A flat screen TV was on a two-drawer chest/dresser. A wall-mounted desk had overhead shelving, a vertical cupboard, desk chair and rollout table. The kitchen section had a sink, two-burner electric range top, coffee pot, microwave, dishwasher (!) and fairly large refrigerator. There were multiple cabinets and drawers filled with practically every kitchen item you’d need: pots, pans, dishes, flatware, soap, etc. And if they’re still something you might need, chances are you can get it from the front desk. (See pic.) A full-size closet contained an iron/ironing board. No sign of a safe. The sitting area contained a loveseat, ottoman and floor lamp. The king-size bed had five pillows. The bed was a little soft, but comfortable. It was flanked by nightstands and wall-mounted lamps with electric outlets. 
The bathroom was average-sized. The vanity had lots of counter space and several drawers. And a hair dryer. The shower was quite large, taking up about a third of the room. There was wall-mounted hand soap and hair/body wash (in the shower) by ALICE & Co+ botanicals. Shower pressure and temperature were fine. TIP: Don’t be alarmed when you flush the toilet - the sound is comparable to that generated by an airplane commode. Breakfast was included with the room and was served on the 14th floor. (Also requiring keycard access.) The offerings consisted of the usual combination of hot & cold items. Overall, we wer

The room condition was terrible I had to move out aftery first stay. They had this moldy smell and the sheet and curtain was uncomfortable.

I’m appalled! Im a member of Marriott, so I chose to stay in this hotel every single time when I was in the area. Lately my experience with this hotel has been terrible! Last time they charged me $250 because someone reported my dog attacked a kid! They didn’t even investigate it until I called 6 times!(the girl worked at the front desk told me the manager will be there in 1-2 hours so I left my number. A few hours later I called to ask, I called the wrong number so it went to booking department, I explained what happened and asked to be transferred to front desk girl, because she is the one charged me $250. And guess what! Instead of talking to me, she made the booking department lady to tell me”She said that the manager will call you as soon as he’s back” I insisted on checking the security cameras and there were nobody got attacked!!! got my money back and their explanation was”someone too advantage of the hotel for a free night.”. So they made me pay for the night??? And I don’t even know why I stayed here again last night! I couldn’t believe my eyes ! What is going on with this duvet??!!!! I didn’t want to have any trouble with people when I’m traveling by myself so I only requested for another blanket, but it never came, so I spent a night without blanket. I was going to show the front desk these pics but my phone was dead and I was in rush to go to my appointment. Anyways I’m done with this hotel!

Toilet not flushing properly. Corrected after I raised the problem with staff. Toilet paper roll holder loose. Corrected after I raised the problem with staff. Elevators often very slow. One time it was on service and cleaner asked us to take another elevator. This hotel is slipping due to benign neglect. I only stay there because of location.
