- Free breakfast
Wrapping 5-night stay at the Delta Toronto for vacation with family, catching the tail end of the long Canada Day holiday weekend (and, of course, patriotically celebrating 4th of July in Canada too). Booked 2 rooms - 2Q and 1K, former on points, latter on extended-stay rate. Didn't take pictures of rooms before personal items exploded everywhere, but was generally true to what is captured on property website with exception that both rooms' floors were hard surface and not carpet.. which is likely reflective of fact that 1K was accessible - which was apparently the only type of 1K room available that had connecting doors to 2Q, as I had requested ahead of time and property accommodated). I was not upgraded for either room, but expect that was largely due to (1) specific request for connecting rooms with limited inventory of these; (2) length of stay (very busy on night of arrival due to Jays game and Twice concert at ScotiaBank arena, got quieter rest of week). That said, I *did* capture images from the 46th floor elite lounge - currently serving breakfast for 4 hours in the mornings, heavy appetizers, desserts, and honor bar in the evening for 3 hours, and accessible for soft drinks, coffee, and snacks at other times of day. First day, lounge was a zoo and full to capacity - we were directed to the SoCo Kitchen restaurant on first floor and received complimentary buffet at restaurant as a plan B (though expense did show up on folio at check out, which required FDA to remove). While I was impressed with the variety and quality of food was fair-good, lounge breakfast items offered were same every day. Restaurant buffet provided exactly same items, with addition of eggs-to-order and "juice of the day" (which was a very delightful apple-carrot-ginger on the morning I sampled). Location was great for seeing the city's attractions - less than 10 minutes walk away from CN Tower, Harbourfront, and TTC/Union Station (with UP train to Pearson, great market and food hall). Family even walked from Delta to Billy Bishop airport for outgoing flight earlier today (gorgeous day and easy walk along the harbour). View from Lounge - that's the base of the CN Tower to the right of the Rogers Centre Breakfast in Lounge - hot entrees included scrambled eggs (suspect powdered though not overtly grainy), tater tots, bacon, and chicken sausages - same options every days
