Travel Accommodation: Choosing a Hotel or Motel
There are a number of considerations in selecting accommodations that can
make the difference between an enjoyable stay and a major headache, whether
your trip to the North York area is for business or pleasure. You can select a hotel
based on its name, features,
price range, or its location.
There is accommodation in North York to suit any budget. You can stay at the local Hostel for only dollars a day, or you can stay in hotel suites that are good enough for visiting prime ministers and presidents. Pricing is somewhat seasonal. The summer travel season is offset by the year-round business needs of area head office, as well as by out-of-town travellers staying in airport-area hotels just before or after international trips. Each hotel's dates for high, low, and shoulder seasons differ a bit so watch your timing or your hotel. Our pricing guidelines (exclusive of taxes) are as follows:
Location The desired location of the hotel depends on the purpose of your visit. We have grouped the hotels by "Area" to assist you with selecting appropriate accommodation. The Area is in most cases the part of town. If you are in North York on business, you should ensure you are staying in the RIGHT part of North York, to be closest to your meetings. In the west, you night stay in Downsview or close to Yorkdale, in the middle, you might need to in or near Willowdale, and in the east in Don Mills. For hotels right around Pearson Airport, use our Mississsauga Hotels search. If you are travelling along the major highways, Downsview is along the #400, and there are a number of hotels close to the 401, with a cluster at Yorkdale (use the Keele) Exit) If you are visiting the area's many attractions, then you'll want to choose accommodation that is fairly close to your favoured attractions. For Black Creek Pioneer Village, choose either Downsview or YorkU, for Yonge Street, choose Lawrence Park. If you are trying to find something VERY NEAR your meeting, use the "Postal" feature in the Hotel Search screen, where we match the first the digits/characters of the postal code! This also works on our Restaurant search, to find a restaurant near your hotel (and in every other search form on our site).
