Markham Hotels with Gym

I have spent 14 days in this hotel. Good: 1) The room is pretty spacious 2) Quite lot of parking space (can't reserve it but i never see it full during my stay). 3) Free breakfast of reasonable quality. You can also bring it to hotel room if you want. 4) There are quite a few restaurants in five minutes walk. 5) There is coin-based laundary with dryers on 2nd floor. And you can change coins on the front desk if you don't have. 6) There is a small swimming pool and a gym. 7) The building is not very new but they have renovated it. e.g., The TV in the room is a big flat screen. 7) The room is generally clean. They offer housekeeping service every other day. 8) The room is equipped with stove, oven, microwave, dish washer, bowls, cups, knife and chopping boards. Basically all utensils for cooking are ready. Nitpicks: 1) The air conditioner is a bit noisy but it is ok for me 2) The socket for TV are broken when I got in. But they have fixed it in a few hours by laying some extension cords around the room so it's considered ok 3) The mattress of the double bed is not pocketed 4) Some minor issues on the elevators sometimes it stayed on the original floor, instead of moving to the target floor (I encountered twice) 5) The bleach of the swimming pool is a bit strong I always got red eyes for a few hours after swimming.

Good location but you have to pay $8 daily for parking. Not as clean as other Marriott hotels. The swimming pool is really bad. Too small and shallow. They didn’t have non slip flooring around the swimming pool. You’d have to be super cautious walking around the pool. The Chinese restaurant downstairs was a pleasant surprise. They had really good food and service. Not sure if they’re affiliated.

Very convenient location in Richmond Hill. Can walk to a lot of good restaurants in Times Square. Clean rooms with decent amenities. Friendly staff. Good value for family and business travelors.
