934.0. "Trip to Mississauga and Toronto" by SMURF::RODGERS (Nothing is written.) Tue Jun 13 1995 08:56

I'll be traveling to Mississauga at the end of this month and would like
recommendations on decent places to stay.  (Last time I was there, my friend and
I wound up at a pretty miserable little motel on Dundas St. and I'd rather not
repeat that experience.  Still, I'd like to be somewhat near Dundas St. where it
interesects Hurontario (Rte. 10).)  I understand there's a Holiday Inn in
Mississauga.  Does anyone know where it's located?  Is it within a reasonable
distance of Dundas/Hurontario?

Also, could you please recommend places to have lunch in Toronto.  (The purpose
of the trip will have us spending evenings from 5:30 to 9:00pm in Mississauga. 
Are there places serving good food late in the evening on weekdays in Toronto?)

Thanks for your help,

Val

	The Delta Meadowvale, if memory serves, is at highway 10 and the 401, Digital corporate rate there should get it into the affordable range. There is a Holiday Inn near the QEW but in Mississauga but I can't remember if it's at Hwy 10 or further west. 6 of one they would both be about the same distance to Dundas/Hurontario. As for late night dining in TO head for the Danforth (between Chester and Pape subway stations) it's wall to wall restaurants and most are open quite late. Most people think of this as the Greek area and you'll certianly find lots of that, including some new very updated "Nouvelle Greek" and "Greek Tapas" places but also Indian (Sher-e-Punjab is my favourite) Cali-Mex (Mickey's hideaway) Tex-Mex (the Willow) and more.

	Last year I stayed at the Novotel on Hurontario st. and it was pretty nice. The Digital rate 1 year ago was $109/night + $12 taxes. It's 5-min walk to many restaurants and a large mall. /Mario
934.3	Much obliged!	SMURF::RODGERS	Nothing is written.	`Wed Jun 14 1995 16:18`	4
	Thank you both for the replies. My trip this time out is certain to be more enjoyable, given your good advice. Val
934.4		TROOA::COLLINS	Green Eggs and Hamlet	`Wed Jun 14 1995 17:21`	7
	If you're in Downtown or Midtown Toronto, and desperate for a 24-hour restaurant, there's always the three "Fran's" restaurants, located at Yonge & College, Yonge & St. Clair, and Yonge & Eglinton. Average food at reasonable prices, but they're ALWAYS open! :^)

	Another, 24 hour food possibility is Dunn's Deli at Adelaide and University.
934.6	At Holiday Inn Noise was a constant...	OTOOA::RANGER		`Thu Jun 15 1995 13:09`	11
	I stayed for two weeks at the Holiday Inn on North Sheriday in May. The suite are ok but, it's a noisy place. People were running around in the hallways in the middle of the night yelling like yahoos. This was consistent throughout the two weeks I was there. I too heard that the Novotel a few miles away was very nice & closer to civilization. Have a good & safe , J.P.
