About Buddies in Bad Times

Tips for staying near Buddies in Bad Times

  • Check the theatre's schedule before you book: performance evenings draw crowds to the surrounding bars and restaurants, so allow extra time for a meal or a drink nearby.
  • If you are arriving on a late flight at Toronto Pearson International Airport, the UP Express train runs frequently to downtown, but have a taxi or ride-share option as backup for the final stretch to your hotel.
  • Parking in the downtown core is limited, so if you plan to drive, choose a hotel with parking such as Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto or Diamond Vacation Homes Eaton Centre, and leave the car once you are settled.
  • Summer months from June to August bring warm weather and many outdoor festivals, so book your Toronto hotel early if your visit coincides with a major event.
  • For a winter visit, pick a hotel with indoor facilities like an indoor pool or fitness centre, and use the PATH underground network to walk between downtown buildings without going outside.
