I finally got official $ approval for my “international” travel to Toronto next week (for AoIR 2003), so I’m looking at hotel options. I’ve narrowed it down to two choices (neither or which is the conference hotel, the Hilton—too expensive, since I missed the cutoff for the conference rate).
It looks like a choice between The Metropolitan (looks more luxurious, and has wifi throughout the public areas, as well as broadband in all the rooms) and Cambridge Suites (appears to be closer to the conference hotel, has roomy suites and free breakfasts).
I think I’ll have to call tomorrow to see (1) if the Metropolitan charges for in-room broadband, (2) if Cambridge has broadband in all their rooms (may only be the pricier ones), and (3) what each charges for parking (which, as I recall, is a highly lucrative side business for Toronto hotels).
Anybody have experience staying in either of those hotels?
(And no, the paper’s not done. But it will be before I get there Wednesday night!)
