Grand Hotel

[papasmerf]

Spent the last 3 days in Toronto st the Grsnd Hotel...............all I can say is I would reccomend it to everyone.


The rooms are well apportioned and motr yhsn you get at most other hotels

At around 230 a night for 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen and living room you have a winner.

I love the Grand hotel. Especially since it's close to Filmores (though a seedy neighbourhood).

The place was RCMP headquarters, they had lots of bars.
They should of called it The Greybar Hotel.

Is it haunted?

 

[anon1]

Only by the odor of 20 tons of confiscated weed in the basement.

Another reason not to trust wikepedia - it was the RCMP building for years. The building in the pic even says, "Grand Hotel".

From the Globe and Mail archives:

Recently, two vacant buildings on nearby Jarvis Street were renovated into hotels. One is a former RCMP office that became the Grand Hotel; the other was federal office building that was transformed into a Comfort Suites hotel.

well then, just edit it.....after all anyone can edit anything on wikipedia

 

[Diode]

For the first time in a long time I can tell you that ANON1 IS WRONG *lol*

The former RCMP building is at the corner of Dundas and Jarvis and is now the Comfort Suites, while the Grand Hotel is just south of it.

I was sitting alone in my log cabin...on the 14th floor of Mountie headquarters..with my dog Cuddles.

 

[oldjones]

I shot in the RCMP building just after the mounties moved out, and had meetings with directors in the Grand. Same building.

Even wikipedia is incorrect, figures cuz the guy that wrote it isnt from Toronto *lmao*

Sorry but it is correct. The Grand was RCMP's "O" division HQ and the Comfort Suites was a federal building that included a UIC office and other stuff.

And if you are old enough, you might remember the Warwick Hotel across from the Comfort Suites, a real low end fleshpot in its day . . .Now a parking lot.

um... wikepedia is not correct as it names the building as 'comfort suites' and show a pic of the grand.

Well once again we've completely jacked someone's thread.
Good work boys!

 

[Damondean]

shall we deviate further further off topic?




umm from my understanding not quite. people that have proven themselves on a topic have more seniority in the edits. everyone can contribute but its not a complete free for all.


and back to the original point, i have always enjoyed my time at the grand.

Would you say that you had a grand time?
