Im going to have to try this area. When we go to TO, we usually bid on the airport and end up at the Hilton or the Raddison. Last time we got the marriott which I liked a lot. But, not paying for parking is a nice bonus.

When posting this win to the "master list" i noticed there is a heading for Toronto (North) yet this doesn't appear to be a valid Priceline zone.

Does anyone that bid this area before the 'north' zone was merged know within which zone it now lies? (or did i just make a mistake when first posted)

Thanks.

This zone used to be called "North York" and now has Vaughan added to it.

Randi ... it's a must to stay somewhere else in Toronto beside the airport. This Radisson though is at the exact midpoint of the city (GTA - greater Toronto area) however, it is surrounded by office buildings.

To mix things up a little, the Markham zone which includes hotels that are actually outside of Markham in Richmond Hill (2.5* Courtyard $23) are surrounded by what has become Toronto's new Chinatown ... huge, newly built markets, restaurants ... and massive homes ... it is very worth staying here to see a different look of the city.

Two musts for when you visit Toronto are .... Tim Horton's ... our famous coffee/donut shop which is on every corner .... I read a study that Canadians have a one donut shop for ever 11,000 people ... while, in the US, it is one per 25,000. England was second with about 1 per 16,000.

The second, is watch a movie at a Colossus ... we are far more advanced than Americans when it comes to theatres... http://www.famousplayers.com/theatres/index.asp
