Question for those who had surgery with TSWLC

LeslieLee · April 17, 2007

Just curious about hotel stays. There are three hotels listed in the info pack, does anyone have any feedback on where they stayed ?

Holiday Inn... Novotel... and the Waterside Inn. They also have Heritage House which provides care.

I am trying to decide which might work best ....:help:

I stayed at the Novatel. The rooms were nice & clean and the staff were good. It is also close to the Square One Mall, which is about a 5 minute walk, which was nice to help pass the time in the 2 days before my surgery. The weather was crappy, and the way my appointments lined up did not allow us to see anything else.

As far a I know, the waterside in is pretty fancy, boutique style hotel major $$$. I asked at the clinic before my surgery, and they said that they novatel was nicer than the HI, but I can not confirm that

Look at the website for the Novatel. I was able to get a package deal that was cheaper than the rate offered throught the clinic. I booked 2 of theier 2 night getaway packages for Valentines (not my most romantic on record).

Also look into using a car service to get to and from the hotel. They are nicer & cheaper than cab as they only charge a flat rate. To get from Pearson to the Novotel was about $35. I used Aerofleet.

Hi Leslee,

Are you coming by yourself or will you have someone with you? I live about 8 miles away from Dr. Cobourn's clinic and have visited people at Heritage House and also at the Holiday Inn who have come from out of province. They both seem pretty good and while I haven't been in the Novotel I pass it all the time and it certainly is handy being across from the largest shopping mall in Mississauga and looks like a fairly fancy Hotel.

Best Wishes,

Donna

I stayed at the Holiday Inn every time I have been down and was always happy staying there. You can request a microwave and a fridge in your room if you have to stay a few days. I didn't bother because I was just there overnite but it is close and convenient to the clinic.

I stayed at the Days Inn - Mississauga. Got a really good price... $80-something a night, 2 beds.... nice enough room. Unfortunetly (for the other person) there was no restaurant in the hotel, but lots of choices nearby and within walking distance. Also, no elevator!
