smozoma Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Waves eGaming helped us* set up some hotel deals with 3 hotels near the venue. The details (and links for online booking)Ā are here:Ā https://ac.reg-system.com/Wave19Ā Here are the relative locations: Ā Here's my basic analysis.Ā The "nearby" things are within walking distance, up to ~10 minutes. I included the travel times to the venue (Waves) and the Hockey Hall of Fame (HHoF). I used the HHoF as a downtown destination. There's no big difference in travel times to downdown, but the Holiday Inn required more walking to get to transit. I have no idea how nice the different hotels are (beds, showers, breakfast quality..). From the above info though: Four Points (currently Super 8) seems the simplest place - cheapest, closest, and the only one with a direct bus route to the venue. I assume it'll have a lot of new stuff due to the owner switchover.Ā No particular advantageĀ to the Holiday Inn? Courtyard - price suggests it's a nicer hotel. It has better stuff nearby, but is farther from the venue as well as downtown. Would be great to hear thoughts from people who are more experienced with travel/hotels. I don't know if any of the places would have a suite for us to rent out for latenight exis.

There's no big difference in travel times to downtown, but the Holiday Inn required more walking to get to transit. Very handy, Smoz! I live in Toronto.Ā If I were going to this event from afar, I personally would stay downtown, and take the subway to the venue, then a short bus (or Uber) for the last 1.0km.Ā This venue is amazing -- it is designed for eGaming!! -- and if that is all you are going to do, yes, get a hotel close by.Ā But!! If you want to do any "Toronto" things, I would get a hotel downtown, and take Public transit.Ā (The vibe near Waves eGaming is not a "city" vibe; it is kinda in the middle of nowhere IMO.) I know last time around, a lot of guys stayed at the Doubletree on Chestnut St.Ā That hotel is in a decent area to walk around and see downtown Toronto.Ā It is also close to St.Patrick subway station, which literally is the same subway line that takes you to Pioneer Village station, which is 1km from Waves eGaming. (Mind you, the subway ride will probably be 40-60 minutes, but it is handy cuz there are no transfers.)

smozoma Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I checked out the double tree earlier, it was like $320/night. With the 2 day setup (3 nights), it adds up fast. I was hoping there would be a place along the subway but kind of half way between the venue and downtown but couldn't find one right by a subway entrance. I figure for people who would like to do downtown things they could get a hotel there for particular nights they'd like to downtown it up.

The 2 hours of commuting each day scares me off and makes me think a suite in the nearby hotel would be better value (just not as swanky) Typical Blitzian overcomplicated plan: in for Thursday and Sunday nights if there's anĀ empty roomĀ that needs an occupant/payer.

halifax Posted August 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 The idea is awesome and I would've like to have done this but I'veĀ decided to stay in a hotel close to the venue since I'll have to get up early on both saturday and sunday to make sure everything is set up and ready to go for the day.

smozoma Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I'm not sure if it has any effect on the reach or effectiveness of the event on facebook, but if you're on there, please consider marking yourself as "Going"! https://www.facebook.com/events/469893243778541 The Vancouver event had 30 people marked as "going" and 74 as "interested."

jer_33 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Tried getting the group rate at the Courtyard-Marriot where you guys are staying, but reservations could not find "Andromeda or Wave" on their list. They currently only have King/sofa combos available for the weekend. I've booked myself into the Monte Carlo (I booked through Hotwire - but I see the same price now on Expedia which offers free cancellation). I'm arriving Friday afternoon, and will be ready for exis and 2v2. If there is a room, or small meeting room in either hotel where we can set-up - I'm happy to pitch in some money.
