***ACCOMODATIONS***

Due to this being the first year of the Festival, the TCAF organizational staff has opted not to book an 'official' block of hotel rooms… Essentially, we don't know if we can fill them up! Instead, we've done some digging in the Toronto area, and offer you this array of low-to-medium-priced establishments, along with approximate distances from the main Festival site.

Please keep in mind a few things.

First and foremost, The Toronto Comic Arts Festival and The Beguiling bear no responsibility for the quality of these establishments, and no acknowledgement of such is implied.

Secondly, all prices listed are in Canadian Dollars, and one dollar Canadian is worth roughly 65 cents in US funds. So essentially, subtract a third from the price to figure out what it will cost you if you're visiting from the U.S.

Tertially, in Canada, we have Taxes. Quite a few of them. All prices listed below, unless otherwise specified, will be subject to an addition %15 sales tax, added onto the price.

Finally, if you can't find a hotel or hostel that suits your needs in the list below, do what we did: Visit Toronto.com at http://www.toronto.com/. It's a wonderful resource and guide to all of the hotels and hostels in the Toronto area, as well as food, entertainment, and much more. For reference's sake, the event takes place in "The Annex" neighborhood.
