"Suite Dreams and some Wi-Fi sadness: A Stay in Room 13135"
Bed, Bath, and Beyond Expectations
The sleep experience in Room 13135 at the Royal York was a dream wrapped in 1,000-thread-count linens. With the mattress and pillows scoring an impeccable 100%, you’d think they were handcrafted by cherubs. Noise insulation, however, played the villain, clocking in at a dismal 40%, proving that even the best beds can't muffle rowdy neighbors.
Room Raves with a Few Static Notes
The room itself nearly lived up to its luxurious promise, scoring an impressive 82% overall. Cleanliness, style, and amenities were all 100%, while the HVAC and minibar added to the modern charm. However, outlets (60%) and the workspace (60%) were underwhelming, making the room a touch less functional for business travelers. And that 60% view? Let’s just say it inspired more “meh” than “marvel.”
Bath Bliss
The bathroom was a spa-like haven. With sparkling cleanliness, perfect water pressure and temperature, and plush towels, it earned a flawless 100%. This is where Room 13135 truly shines, offering a retreat you won’t want to leave. Be sure to treat yourself to the aroma pods in the spa-like shower.
Hotel Hits and Misses
The hotel overall is a gem, scoring 85%. Service, location, and style all achieved 100%, as did the inviting lobby. Fitness and dining facilities held their own with respectable 80% marks. But alas, the Wi-Fi signal barely limped past the finish line at a frustrating 40%, likely causing digital detoxes against guests' wills.
Final Take: A Stay Worth Savvy Snoozers, Not Streamers
With an overall StayIQ of 92%, Room 13135 at the Fairmont Royal York provides an indulgent escape that checks most boxes, barring the bandwidth blues. If you're seeking comfort, style, and top-notch service, this is your spot—just don’t rely on the Wi-Fi to upload those envy-inducing vacation photos.
