"Where to stay in (or near) Toronto?" Topic

I'll be traveling to Toronto at the end of May and would like to stay as inexpensively as possible.

I'll need to be downtown each day, but I don't need to stay downtown. I'm happy to say a bit out of the way and travel in on public transportation if that makes the most economic sense.

Any recommendations on where to stay?

Now the important questions: What are the "must sees" and are there book/game stores worth checking out?

Thanks!

Whenever I'm in Toronto I hit "The World's Biggest Bookstore" near Dundas and Yonge. Great selection of history books.

The Terracotta soldiers are at the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum), IIRC, – which is right down town. Supposed to be very impressive. And there is an exhibit on Moghul India around as well (not sure where.)

As far as gaming I don't know that there is much: Silver Snail? Crossed Swords – but that might be out of your way…

The Moghul exhibition is at The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). I'm seeing it in February. The Hilton Garden Inn which I think is on Richmond street is a nice place but I'm not sure what your price range is.

Also, there's Hairy Trantulas on Yonge St. There is also a GW Battle bunker off Yonge but it's almost in North York.

The question to you is what do you want to do?

Say in the city as commuting is a real pain even on public transit. However you can not get lost if you take the subway there are only 2 lines.

Fort York is a must!

If you are a Buffalo Bill fan (not the team) you can visit the church where he was baptised at which is in Mississauga. Then thats about it for Mississauga lol.

There is a lot of history here you just look.
