Check out the Novotel. It's only a few blocks from Guv and you can walk there. Plus there are some awesome bars right across the street....one year we had the TA meet up there and Ferry actually came and hung out with us.;) |

hm just searching flight/hotels for fun since i dont have much to do at work today for
August 31 (FRI) - September 3 (MON)
I looked up the hotel we stayed at last year
$557 a person including airfare (MARRIOTT BLOOR YORKVILE)
others:
$492 including airfare Courtyard Downtown (usually the one I stay at)
$483 including airfare Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel (which is odd cuz this hotel is 4 stars while the above is 3 stars)
Most 2 star packages are $350 pp - $400 pp (which isnt BAD at all!!!)
of course there are plenty of other sites to choose from. I'm just looking at priceline right now (im assuming all these prices are estimates depending on flight schedules). for some reason I cant find the downtown Novotel with an avaiable air package. but priceline prices the hotel at $157 a night, while hotels.com prices it at $147/night. but im sure if you call the hotel directly u might even get yet a BETTER price, who knows, things do happen.
priceline has air starting at $291 roundtrip per person NYC <--> Toronto
im sure hotwire.com, expedia, travelocity and others may have competitive if not better pricing. |

The Sheraton is great hotel and not too far from the GUV, same with the Courtyard. The Marriott is the furthest from the GUV. I dunno if distance is important to you. |

Courtyard IS awesome. I've never had a bad experience there EVER, whether in the Bloor Yorkville one (last year) or the Downtown one on Yonge Street (my total FAV, which was introduced to me by my friends who took me on my very first GUV trip back in 2003 :toothless prices are damn reasonable and the service is impeccable. )
i have never minded sharing a taxi to go to/from the GUV, ever. It ends up the same price as parking in the lot across the street. I just dont recall how difficult it is to catch a cab once you decide to leave the GUV once the party ends. Sometimes I just ended up walking BACK to the hotel (despite looking somewhat disheveled cuz of staying up all night lol i actualy welcome the fresh air and a chance to wake myself up haha)
I usualy choose a hotel in the heart of downtown cuz i LOVE LOVE LOVE being near Eaton Centre and seeing city life. i so adore the streets of Toronto. <3 |

| couple hotels in the downtown TO area by the Guv are the westin (right across the street) but somewhat pricey, delta chelsea, and the days inn (about a 5-7 min cab ride and very reasonable room rates) |

| this is really the only plus of the year to live in buffalo....only an hour and 15 min drive up to the Guv...cant wait for more of the lineup to be released |
