Thanks for all the help, found TripAdvisor before. I was looking up
hotels for Vegas for my sister but I did use for Toronto today. I saw
that result of "bugs in my bed" at one place. lol.

Also got some good words for Hotwire.com, that's a bit of gambling
though. It gives you good steals on hotel rooms that aren't booked,
but you don't know the exact name or location till AFTER you buy. It
only says for example "3 star hotel in Toronto Downtown-East" and the
price.

But someone I know had very good luck with it. And her friends used
it last week in Toronto too.

I'm going to book some sort of room tomorrow, have to head to bed.
Clear my head before I figure where to stay. :)

Thanks again.
