A solid choice, especially for the convenient location. The hotel is directly attached to the Sheraton and its convention facilities. No on-site breakfast included, but there's a Tim Hortons next door, plus a few Chinese restaurants within easy walking distance. Our room had two queen beds, which were comfortable, and it felt very clean and fresh, clearly recently renovated with modern finishes with a fridge and microwave. The narrow balcony was a nice touch for fresh air. The building only has two levels, but the corridors are extremely long, feels like a maze at times, and there are more stairs than you'd expect for such a low-rise property. Parking can be limited and a bit tricky, plan ahead, scout out spots early, and try to find an entrance closest to your room to avoid long treks through those endless hallways. One minor annoyance: the sliding shower door was installed at a weird angle, so it kept sliding open on its own during showers. Would stay again for the convenience to the convention center and the updated, clean room. Great value if location is your top priority.

“An Enjoyable Stay”

I stayed at the Best Western Parkway Hotel North while in Markham for a large conference. While it would’ve been ideal to stay at the hotel playing host to the conference, the Best Western proved to be a nice choice. Thankfully, a free shuttle was offered to attendees of the aforementioned conference. I was booked in a “Traditional – Two Double Beds” room and, I have to say, it was very comfortable! Especially after a “red eye” flight from BC! The room was decked out in neutral tones of grey and black, which made for a soothing environment. Importantly, the bed was very comfortable and allowed for a good night’s rest over the course of my 2-night stay. For an “unassuming room” (to use Best Western’s own words), it was pretty impressive and well-appointed with all the modern amenities we’ve come to expect: WiFi, smart flatscreen TVs, microwave, mini fridge, and a dandy work desk. Really, when traveling for business (or vacation), what more could one want? The hotel also offers a pool, fitness centre, spa, and a Starbucks on site. While I didn’t patronize the on-site restaurant during my stay, I will note that there’s a good Tim Hortons next door (see my review). I came here for lunch once and twice for dinner (I know, I was going all out!). In brief, if you’re staying in the Richmond Hill area, this Best Western is an excellent choice and option. Situated just off the highway, it provides easy access to most “greater Toronto areas.” And I just have to say it: This stay was so much better than my last stay at a Best Western property (BW Dorchester Hotel in Nanaimo, BC). There’s no comparison!

“Family holiday”

Had the most amazing front of house service, particularly from Vicky on reception and Chantelle in the lounge Bar. An absolute credit to the hotel
