OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

Any recommendations on a hotel in Toronto near the race site? Holiday Inn on King?

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

OSS has a 15% discount at any Choice hotel for an event. I got a card from the OSS display at the Toronto show in January, just go to their website choicesportstravel.com or call 877.240.2929

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

Depends on how much you wish to spend?

If it was me either the Sheraton near Eatons Center mall and subway it to the site. Renaissance Hotel would be another choice, Holiday Inn on King is not the nicest of area's.... The Westin Harbor Castle might be the best bet I think.

Should not have broken up with my X-girlfriend cause her sister is head of reservations at the Four Season's and I used to be able to get crazy rates..... :D

I stayed here just a few months ago. it was a really nice place, but parking is limited.

CN030; Comfort Suites City Centr; TORONTO

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

There are many hotels. Since the race is out of Ontario Place, you are going to have to take a taxi or drive to the race location because there are no hotels on or within walking distance of the site.

Most of the hotels close by are pricey (around $200/night CDN) but all of these are relatively close:

The Renaissance Hotel (connected to the Blue Jays stadium)
The Westin Harbour Castle
Soho Metropolitan Hotel
InterContinental Toronto Centre

Don't know if it's close, but I always liked the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto.

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

It is another 15 mins by car/taxi then the others, but a very nice hotel.

I just booked a slip for the weekend at Port Credit Village. Anyone else thinking about taking in some of the action by boat.

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

All the places said in previous threads will do just fine and are within reason for distance from Ontario Place. I have booked a slip for the weekend right at Ontario place. i have a 35 fountain and will be with another 38 fountain sport cruiser and a 47 fountain we are all side by side, come say hi for sure!

Use to be a fun bar downtown called "The Loose Moose" years ago ... that was a blast...

I seem to recall also an Urban Ballet company by the airport named the "Landing Strip"...

That's all I can remember... hope this helps.

Ahh, yes...I've landed on a few of those girls....... :rolleyes: :eek:

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

The Moose is still Loose on Front Street, right next door to the Canyon Creek ChopHouse....
No need to head to the airport for the ballet, check out the Upper Brass, above the Brass Rail...

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

men be carefull the urban ballerinas are only 16 yo in canada. its legal there :evilb: :eek: :drink: :D

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

Locomotion is more interesting or if you like less audience but good old fashioned "blue collar" style ballet, Mathesons can be really good. On your way into Toronto from the airport, you can also catch pretty good performances at House of Lancaster........ The "Landing Strip" is good but its also been featured (Playboy) so pricey and tourist trappish! :D

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

The Whiskey A Go Go, The House of Lancaster 1 and 2, Filmores,The landing Strip, Runway66 and on and on. There's lots of nice Ballet shows in and around TO. We are a very "cultural" city :)

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

Ahh yes, the Runway 66. Another place I have landed on a few girls....... :rolleyes:

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

You won't be disapointed at the Westin Habor Castle . Very nice spot.

The Loose Moose, I forgot all about that bar. Fun place for sure!

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

The Lancaster...... :D
next you'll be sending him to the Locomotion....

Damn I missed the Locomotion in the post above, now we are talking about a real Mississauga Ballet Tour .... :D

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

I was looking for a place to bring the wife and kids :eek: :drink:

When I find a place for them, I'm going to Toronto! :evilb:






P.S. Any pictures from the ballet?

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

Lots of places. Try to find a restaurant called East Side Mario's. They are an Italian American restaurant chain that caters to families, and the food is really good!

Or just ask the concierge at the front desk.

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

The Loco, the DixieDale, early 20's haunts for cheap beer :) If I recall, it was $1.85 a beer 20 yrs ago. $3.50 for 20 hot wings or a roast beef on a bun and fries.
I know the D Dale is long gone but I do not know if the Loco is still there. Haven't been out that way in Mississauga in years.

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

There is a Rain Forest Cafe downtown, there is also a LoneStar BBq.

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

Oh Yah, Lone Star Rocks. Not that same as the US chain.

Re: OSS Toronto - Where to stay?
 

I've posted some pics from after the ballot in the uncensored section!!!! :D

East Side Mario's has a front street location, but you can also drop the family off at the North Queen one and find your way up the road a little to Kipling and you'll find yourself at Casino's!!!! :D


Mississauga is in Peel Region so a good local Ballet Tour is a must!!!! :drink:
