I came with my friends cause i had a groupon and wanted to try it out. it was worth it. Even after the 2 hours were up we stayed longer (paid of course) and had a great time. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

I normally go to Captain's or Wacky Wings to play pool, both of which are nearby. I'm surprised I…read morehad never heard of this place prior to seeing it on Groupon. I purchased a Groupon for $15, which included 2 hours of pool for 2 people and $10 toward appetizers. Monte Carlo is located just east of Dundas and Dixie, but is not visible from the main roads, which made it hard to find. It's located in a fairly old strip mall that I usually drive by without giving a second glance. The bar itself is an older looking establishment, but very well kept. There are many pool tables and a handful of snooker tables that take up the large space, which consists of one long main room, and two smaller rooms. The staff were accommodating when I informed them that I had a Groupon. They even gave us a reminder when we had 5 minutes left in our promotional 2 hour limit, which was very nice of them. The drinks here are decently priced, with a beer costing about $3.50. The appetizers are decently priced as well, but don't expect anything special. I ordered the jalepeno poppers and they were clearly just heated from a frozen state, with some being colder than others. While the food was just alright, the actual pool tables were quite good! The tables are well kept, and ours didn't have any rips or bumps that would've impacted our game. There was ample space between tables, so at no point did we ever feel cramped for space. The cues are also decent and plentiful. I'd definitely recommend this place to others for those who want a pure pool experience. For a night out, I'd still recommend Wacky Wings because the food and entertainment is incomparable.

An overnight stay with extended parking turned into a nightmare when I received a call from the…read morehotel two days into my vacation to let me know that my vehicle had been stolen from their gated, security-patrolled lot. The manager wouldn't call the police to report damage to their property OR the theft of my car, saying 'the Toronto PD wouldn't take it seriously'. They refunded my parking fee (only after I asked them to), and acted like they'd bent over backwards to do so. They 'apologized for the inconvenience' of my car being stolen, and then basically washed their hands of the situation. While I understand that vehicle theft can happen anywhere, their response to this situation was absolutely not reflective of the hospitality that I would expect from the Marriott family of hotels.

After quite some time coming here my husband and I decided to get some lunch and play pool. Well,…read morewe never got to playing pool as the owner's attitude turned us RIGHT off!!! Well, as well as the new supersized prices!!! I used to love this place!! Ordered a couple meals. Sat down. Bunch of Chinese ordered after us. They sat down. 20 minutes later they got their food first. Eating happily they seemed satisfied but we, like idiots were still waiting. Now KEEP IN MIND they BROUGHT OUT THE FOOD TO THEIR TABLE AND SERVED THEM.......About 10 minutes later she drops the food on the counter and says, "you're food is ready.".........WHY DID SHE NOT BRING THE FOOD TO THE TABLE???? WHY?? BECAUSE WE ARE NOT CHINESE!!!! RACIAL DISCRIMINATION AT IT'S FINEST!!!!! My husband asked why??? Why would you serve them first and not us?? Why are you making us pick up our food at the counter??? She says, "self serve"..... Please shut this dump down. Sorry, not all patrons will be chinese. And no, you will not get a tip BEFORE eating. That's not the way it works here in Toronto. Good service=good tips. We will never be back. Please do not support this racist business!!!!! Crazy right???Unfortunately for all of you who work there, you will be stuck in that hole forever, until the day you die. ENJOY!!

The room and the hotel was actually a great (not exactly the best) value for the price. I made the…read morelast-minute one-night hotel reservations with low expectations and from the first 10 minutes of checking-in with the front desk staff, I could not have expected a more curt and brusk front desk staff person to live up to these low expectations. I was treated like a nuisance from the get-go. She slapped my ID card onto the counter to return it back to me and she spoke to me like she explained the fine print/terms and conditions of the hotel reservation as if she was auditioning to be a fast-talking radio ad disclaimer. No hello, no goodbye, no thank you. However, the hotel room itself was actually quite nice. The bathroom and bedroom was absolutely spotless. Immaculate even! Not a single strand of hair or lint found. The "kitchenette" was a tv stand with cut-out drawer spaces to hold the microwave, ice bucket and glasses, and a fridge. The WiFi was pretty slow but it worked. And the pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. The free breakfast was a small counter in front of the front desk, which includes a coffee and juice dispenser, cereal dispenser, and your choice of sandwich bread to toast. But overall, I have to say just impressed by the amount of cleanliness in the room, an area in which most guests are concerned with. The rooms seem newly renovated but the cleaning staff seem to do a very good job maintaining its condition too. I would choose them again if they replace the front desk staff with talking robots, or if I needed a clean room to rest my head and free parking.

I have a lot of fond memories of the Canadian National Exhibition. I used to go every year since I…read morewas born. I'm not kidding, there's a picture of my mom holding me at the tender age of one in front of the ferris wheel! I've been every year for more than twenty years but it's hard to keep up tradition as you grow older. I feel like there's something for everyone. An abundance of fun (but somewhat campy) rides and midway games for kids and adults. The swing that goes through the park is enjoyable to see the view of the whole park from up high. There's also a ton of shows, events and shopping. And of course, the zany carnival food. I've had things from alligator jerky, chocolate fried chicken, thanksgiving style waffles, poutine dumplings, biscoff fried chicken, labubu cheese curds, and more. One thing I ALWAYS get is Tiny Tim donuts. It just feels like a classic CNE item for me. I especially enjoy visiting during their craft beer festival and food truck festival. It has gotten a lot more expensive over the years but you can find discounts easily online.

This year, I came to the CNE with more intention, checked the show schedule, and caught a few…read morehighlights: Super Dogs, the ice skating performance, Mythos, and a dance performance on the international stage at the Enercare Centre, so much to see! We spent a good amount of time in the Enercare building, scoring deals at Liquidation Nation (massage gun, Adidas golf pants, Chinese New Year decor) and Terry's right across from it (portable earphones and back massager). We also tried the escape room-style game inside the Enercare centre, where you unlock multiple boxes with different puzzles. It's free with no timer limit, though we needed a small hint near the end. Food-wise, we mostly skipped the main food building but grabbed a brisket sandwich from Black Camel to bring to our show. It's becoming a tradition, and it's delicious! We also tried some food trucks near the Princes' Gates: the Overload butter chicken sandwiched between samosa from Rick's and KFC from another truck, both fantastic. Not gimmicky at all. Deep-fried birria outside the Enercare building was another winner. The deep-fried pizza from Pizza Pizza? Not that great, just taste like fried cheesy bread with no toppings and don't expect a cheese pull, a bit disappointing for a puzzle lover like my husband. Overall, a fun day at the Ex! We also picked up two butter tarts from Carla's at the Arts, Crafts, and Hobbies building as a take home treat for later. Definitely something for everyone, despite the expensive food prices.

Looking online, I found The Sandman on Captain Kirk's Priceline. It looked nice and had decent reviews, so I decided to book it. The reviews were right; It was nice, spacious, clean, and the staff was friendly. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how nice and clean The Sandman was, despite such a reasonable price. (Although I wasn't thrilled about the $200 hold when I checked in, but...it happens). My only complaint is that this place was nowhere near the convention centre...but that's my fault for waiting so long to book. Otherwise, I did enjoy my stay at The Sandman and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
