how 'bout Toronto hotel.....

[BahamaMama]

recommendations?? looking for something hopefully $175 per night or less CDN......would like it to be somewhere near the airshow, but that isn't necessary. hot tub availability preferred, and in room would be best. swimming pool, and suite with kitchen would be fantastic, but unlikely at the price i'm willing to pay....LOL

 

[Myron]

The CNE isn't in a great area of town so I think I'd stay downtown. Here are some hotel suggestions that are down on the lake so you'll see some of the air show even near your hotel.

- Based on what you've asked for check this place out. It's cheap too at $149 per night.

thanks heaps, Myron ...... this is the best one i've been able to come across so far....will compare it to the one you posted. how is this one for *area*, although no kids along this trip, so not as worried about whether or not it is a great area of town.

Myron, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, and DAMN.......that is EXACTLY what i was looking for only problem is, they are full for saturday night, could get in for sunday night, but have to leave back for michigan so dang early on monday morning, it probably isn't worth it!!!!

i'll have to just sleep in the rental car this time around or something, so that i can come back and do about 5 nights in that place during the winter. it sounds marvelous.....thanks again

Bahama the Delta East isn't even remotely close to where you want to be. That hotel is in Scarborough which aside from not being a recommended area of Toronto is also about 15-20 miles from downtown. Look at it this way - it would be like wanting to be close to Broadway shows and staying in Queens.

Some other downtown hotels that are nice include
- The Westin Harbour Castle
- Crown Plaza
- Holiday Inn on King (a damn nice holiday inn) and
- Sheraton Downtown

I would avoid the Royal York as it's a fancy shmancy (or pretends to be), old peace of crap.

Check out www.toronto.com and go to hotels. All of them are listed there.

 

[Myron]

I almost forgot. Call the number they have listed also. Sometimes cancellations aren't put on the internet

Myron, do you by any chance have either MSN messenger or AIM??

 

[Myron]

No, should I?

Feel free to email me though at "myronhamilton2002@yahoo.ca"

MAMA,
Check THE GRAND. It is downtown-very nice place of the main street. 2 minutes from Eaton Centre. For like $110 US-we got a very nice room-GREAT INDOOR pool. Outdoor Jacuzzi on the roof over looking Toronto-Parking and a wonderful free breakfast.
Just a thought-check the website.

thanks, Whale....sounds great, but i reserved a couple of hours ago.....couldn't wait much longer, as i gotta be at the airport in 7 hours....LOL

will certainly keep that one in mind for the next time the kids whine to go back to Wonderland

 

[Myron]

So where are you staying?

As for the Grand it's a nice hotel but in hooker and drug central.

 

[BahamaMama]

Myron, you have mail, and TTM, in regards to your mail, will do

time to shut down if i wanna be semi awake in 4 hours when the alarm rudely interrupts a good sleep.

 

[TIME TO MAKE $$$]

Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow!
