We got 2 rooms at the Downtown Toronto Mariott last year in July for $32 each a night, 3 nights. <3 priceline.com

Gee, I thought the ~$64 (US) I paid in June for a sweet room at the Courtyard by Mariott (Yonge N. of Carlton) was a good deal. Gonna have to look a bit harder, I guess.

if you book on priceline you can get the Marriot Eaton Centre for $35 just about 90% of the time through priceline..
i've book at least 50 -60 times with the same price on priceline with a 3 star hotel downtown and 85% of the time i get the Marriot Eaton Centre... the other 15% of the time i get the Marriot Courtyard at Yonge and College..
you have to have a US credit card to use priceline though. Canadian CC's NOT are accepted.

That would have been nice. I used Hotwire to book $25-$30 rooms in Travelodges in North York and Scarborough last May. Decent rooms, but being a walking distance to Eaton Centre and the subway would have been so much better. Thanks for the info, I'll try that next year.

And it's legal for women to go topless in Ontario.

Two more reasons I should go! First is the availability of tropical fruits that somehow are rare or banned in continental USA.

Oh, for those planning to go, try to see what happens if you tell some Canadians you're an American politician, especially a Republican j/k

 

[huesmann]

Is there a SARS discount?

 

[larsrulz]

I think that is a pre-included discount in these deals.

 

[Celstar]

And it's legal for women to go topless in Ontario.

But is it common?

 

[Kaiser__Sose]

Celstar:

it is very common at big events.. ie .. pride day, caribana etc...
even though 50% of the time I wish it was still illegal for some of those, and i use the term loosely "women" to go topless...
