Best Western Parkway Hotel Toronto North
Practical comfort on the Highway 7 hotel strip
About this hotel
Best Western Parkway Hotel Toronto North sits in the the Pearson airport strip stretch of the hotel corridor that most Splash Works visitors use as a base for a trip to Canada's Wonderland's outdoor water park. It sits within the broader the Pearson airport strip hotel cluster that most Splash Works families use as a base, a short drive rather than a long haul from the park gates. There is no confirmed hotel pool here, so this property leans on its other amenities rather than a backup swim for the days the outdoor water park is closed. Younger kids get the most use out of the hotel's own pool as a second, lower-key water session, while older kids and teens mostly treat the room as a base between park visits. What ultimately sets Best Western Parkway Hotel Toronto North apart in this cluster is less any single amenity than the combination of free parking, pet-friendly rooms under one practical, mid-range roof.

Our take
Best Western Parkway Hotel Toronto North suits families travelling with a dog, given its position in the the Pearson airport strip cluster and its 3-star tier. It is not the pick for a family wanting more than a fitness-centre-level wellness offering, since the amenities here stay practical rather than aspirational. For a family whose main spend and energy is going toward Canada's Wonderland itself rather than the hotel, that trade-off is exactly the right one, and the rating of 7.8 among recent guests backs it up.
- ✓Book the the Pearson airport strip area early for peak summer weekends, since rooms here sell out faster than the wider Greater Toronto Area hotel market.
- ✓Confirm the pool schedule at check-in rather than assuming it matches the listing, since hours shift seasonally at several properties in this cluster.
- ✓Confirm the pet fee and any breed limits directly before booking, since policies are not identical across every pet-friendly hotel in this cluster.
Why we love it

Why guests love itOn paper Best Western Parkway Hotel Toronto North is one of many similar 3-star options in the the Pearson airport strip cluster, but the no confirmed hotel pool and free parking give it a genuine edge for a family planning around Splash Works specifically. The location keeps the drive to Canada's Wonderland short without pushing the nightly rate into a premium bracket, which is the balance most families weighing this cluster are actually looking to strike.
