Not rude at all, I'm more than happy to answer your question! The Four Seasons Toronto used to be hosted in a much older building. About 11 years ago, the old building was too outdated to continue living up to the Four Seasons' standards, so it became a condominium, and soon after, the Four Seasons Toronto moved into a newer, nicer building, which is the "predecessor" featured in this video.

@@DogTravels Thank you for the reply. I enjoyed the video.

This was a standard room, which they label as a "Guest Room" on their website.

@@DogTravels Thank you so much🩷

@@jariyathanasunthornsut1047 glad I could help!

Glad you enjoyed the video! This was a Cottage Deluxe Executive room.

ยินดีด้วย! ขอให้สนุกนะ!

Unfortunately, I don't recall the room number. Have fun in 2025!

glad you enjoyed the video!

I'm sorry my video wasn't up to your standards. Would you like to share any feedback for how I can improve in the future?

The footwell could certainly be quite a bit deeper, but I managed to sleep diagonally which was easy for me because I'm a side sleeper and I'm pretty skinny, increasing my legroom by quite the margin. Regarding the food situation, I will say that I encountered a similar experience on the leg back to SFO from HND, which I didn't mention in this video because it's redundant to film both legs. It's quite strange, but after flying into and out of SFO for about a decade now on multiple airlines, I've noticed that catering out of SFO is always pretty decent. In ANA's case, it appears that SFO's catering is better than their own catering in Japan. The food on the SFO - HND leg (filmed in this video) was exceptional! Seriously some of (if not) the best food I've had in the skies. The food on the leg back, not so much. Perhaps I should've mentioned this in my review but I didn't have the HND - SFO leg's footage. Thanks for your input!

The problem is you’re 6’4, you don’t even fit 1st class of any airline, except for those most expensive 20k first class flight.

I fly ANA RT from SFO/LAX to NRT/HND 4 times a year. I have never once been given a meal in business class that was the same as the economy offerings, or close to economy offerings. The red eye flights don't have a full meal service, but that's because they are red eye flights. I'm 5'11, and the new hard product is amazing.

@@pgsanta Try Qatar business class and you'll see the difference in quality.

@@JeffKoutz What makes you think I haven't flown Q suite before? It's a joke to suggest there's a big difference in the quality of anything between them. They each have their little things going for them, like Q suite being slightly more plush, while The Room offering more space. I would probably still place Q suite as the overall better product, but only by a hair, and it doesn't really matter if Qatar doesn't service the route you need to take.

ofc

I agree, their amenities are certainly some of the nicest in the area! Unfortunately, as far as I know, they don't do memberships. From my experience, Four Seasons properties, as do most hotel chains, restrict their amenities to their own guests and property residents. Have fun with your move! I'm sure you'll love the area!

No way, I love ABBA! Never knew they stayed here, thanks for sharing!

yessir

oops wrong one

yeah, I met this really cool famous professional Canadian called Satariation and had lunch with him at the Four Seasons

@@DogTravels ayooo

Correct! It's the one that's 740 square feet.

Sorry I didn't see this comment but I hope you enjoyed your stay!

Hello Daniel! I sincerely apologize for not meeting your standards for "good content." Feel free to leave feedback in this reply thread.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for letting me know!

Although I haven't stayed at the JW, if I had a choice, I'd probably go with the JW.

Good question! We were upgraded because of our Marriott Platinum status. Sorry for apologizing to your comment a week late, haven't checked comments lately.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the video!

The music in this video is a reference to United's theme song, Rhapsody In Blue, which is a piece composed by George Gershwin in 1924. As I grew up and as I flew United on more and more trips between Europe and the United States, I began to grow more and more curious about the piece in United's safety videos until I finally discovered the name of the piece (and proceeded to listen to it thousands of times). My love for this piece and the fact that this review was on United Airlines led me to utilize this piece for this review. Although I appreciate your feedback, I do not plan on making any changes to this video because (1) it fits the review in the sense that this has been United's flagship theme song for decades and (2) the piece has a special place in my heart because I quite literally grew up with it. I am saddened that you do not share the same joy that I do for this piece, but I do encourage you to finish the rest of the video. If the music is so "intolerable", you have the option to mute the video's audio whilst still watching the review. You can even listen to your own music that you deem fit while watching the video if you think it'll help you enjoy it more.

@@DogTravelsI instantly recognized it and love it!

frfr, it's the main reason I always record my reviews at midnight. only issue is security sometimes gets suspicious lol

@@DogTravels i went on a cruise last summer and during the day it sucked, cause there was just so many people walking around/ eating but when i walk around at night ITS EMPTY AND I HAD THE WHOLE BAR TO MYSELF

@@amiticlol nice! which cruise was it?

@@DogTravels uhh one of those celebrity brand cruise ships i forgot which model it was

getting an internet upgrade, will start up again very soon

We actually went skiing together during Covid at Squaw Valley; I should've filmed it tho

Glad you enjoyed it! As far as I know, they don't have any plans to renovate the villas. They're very nice (and the largest in the entirety of Bora Bora), but there definitely are some minor maintenance issues. For instance, the door between the living room and bedroom couldn't close properly and the glass door in the living room connecting to the outside patio couldn't lock properly. The light that was supposed to illuminate the water was also broken, but to be fair, these were the only main issues with the room, and they weren't that big of a deal. Another main issue was the service. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't "amazing" as many reviews claim it is. The best way to describe it is that it felt "scripted." Sure, the butlers would visit you in the restaurant some mornings, but they're really just there to tell you "if there's anything I can do for you, feel free to let me know." It's all sort of a charade. It's always the same, and it always felt scripted. I've experienced much better and personalized service at properties within the United States, which are at a lower caliber than what you would expect from a property at Bora Bora. For instance, the service at the St. Regis Deer Valley (I made a video on this if you're interested in checking it out) felt very natural, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasurable as possible. Again, the service wasn't bad, but it felt average, especially for a resort at this price range and caliber. However, one exception was housekeeping. She was very obviously a local (as opposed to most of the other staff who appeared to be from France) and she delivered some of the friendliest service we've experienced to date. Every afternoon she'd come over to our villa with an incredible enthusiastic attitude. In most hotels, we tend to temporarily leave our room to make room for housekeeping, but she insisted otherwise and said, "Don't be shy guys! Come on in!" She was the highlight of the trip. But across the board, we felt that service was definitely lacking. However, I can't necessarily say that this issue is completely isolated to the St. Regis. There have been reviews (from reputable reviewers) on properties like the Four Seasons which have reported similar short-fallings in service level. My best theory is that Covid severely impacted the service level in Bora Bora as a whole. Personally, I'd suggest that you steer clear of Bora Bora for the time being.
