We stayed at this Best Western on June 8-9 and selected the property because of its convenient location near Highway 401 after flying into Toronto Pearson, as well as the pool for our children.
While there were positives, including a good breakfast with plenty of options and friendly staff, our stay was overshadowed by two significant safety concerns.
The pool deck was extremely slippery. Both of my children slipped multiple times while walking around the pool area, and my youngest daughter fell and struck her face on the pool deck after losing her footing. I immediately reported this to staff, who went to inspect the area.
We also experienced concerns with the elevator doors. While loading luggage, I found I had to physically block the doors from closing, and at one point my daughter’s arm nearly became caught in the door as it closed.
As a parent, these incidents were very concerning. We specifically chose this property because it appeared family-friendly, so experiencing multiple safety issues during a one-night stay was disappointing. I hope management investigates both the pool area and elevator operation to help prevent injuries to future guests, particularly young children.
