BEWARE! When the Toronto Film Festival is on .. .and most times when there are baseball games .. the city is SOLD OUT.

I was there last year during the Film Festival .. and was staying at the IC Toronto (former and should have stayed Crowne Plaza). I had been there for about 4 weeks already and had another 4-6 weeks I was trying to book. They refused me the week of the Film Fest. I had to talk to the Manager and pay FULLLLL rate for the week (no corporate). Checkin was a ZOO!

I would seriously doubt Priceline or other places could find you anything in the city during Film Fest. Game weekends WILL be hard to get too I bet. The subway is VERY VERY good .. and there is a covered walkway from subway and train station to the Stadium (follow all the people!).

Personal preference .. is the Fairmont Royal York. There is a Tim Hortons out the back door for great brewed tea. Under BC Place (I think) is a really kewl restaurant called Marche' Movenpick (there are several in the city). Also, should you decide to venture to Hooters for some wings, be prepared for oriental ladies in Hooters shorts/shirts that certainly do not fill out the uniform very well.
