Toronto Check-in
Our last couch-surfing visit to the Big Smoke had us vowing never to sleep on a futon again.
Instead, we'll check in to Hotel Ocho, a new 12-room gem in prime downtown location. The rooms are lofty, spacious and bright and designed with hip, young travellers in mind. Ask for a third floor suite with views of the Spadina streetcar and the backstreets of Chinatown. Manager Kenneth McElheran and his team are so laid-back and friendly you almost feel like a guest in someone’s home.
Only you won't wake up with a kinked neck. —AT
