Hotels
(back to main tournament page)
Below is a list of hotels reasonably close to the tournament site. I
have grouped them by region; the areas closest to the tournament are
listed first. This year, EasyClickTravel has a number of excellent deals
on hotels. There are also good deals on hotels at skoosh.com
and gtahotels.com; note that
listed rates at skoosh.com include taxes and fees, while those on
gtahotels.com do not (caveat: I have not used any of these sites to book a hotel
room, so I can't personally vouch for their reliability or quality of
service). You can compare rates from various websites on Kayak.
You may be able to get 4* hotels in the downtown area for $50-70 US per night on Priceline.
Good deals may also be available on Hotwire. This list from
BetterBidding
can help you identify the hotels.
The rates listed below are for double occupancy from March 5th to
March 8th. Unless noted,
the rates are in Canadian dollars and do not
include taxes (16% total). If you'd like further assistance in finding
lodging for the tournament, please e-mail
me.

received somewhat mixed reviews from people who have stayed there in the
past, mostly because the rooms are very small.
