Cafe Atlantis 5/21/2015 + brief travel log

After two great nights in Niagara headed for Toronto. Stopped briefly on the way at Hamilton Strip but was early afternoon (about 2PM) and only saw 3 dancers and 3 customers. Didn't stay long and hit the road for Mississauga.

Set up my home away from home for the next 10 DAYS at hotel. As always got good deal by Priceline bidding and won at $55/night. This time I am closer in - Square One area instead of the major chain hotels I usually get either further West or close to airport. Out or curiosity checked normal rates just before left Phoenix and it was sold out for my 1st night (5/21) and averaged about $160/night for my other 9 nights. Unfortunately this is the first trip I had to pay more for parking $13/day. The reviews on travel sites were mixed and a concern. However, the bad reviews were for the older section so when I checked in asked for the renovated area and its very nice. It may be my imagination but this is a European brand hotel and it seems the desk, beds etc are about a foot lower than in North America chains (I'm almost 6-2). Nice 42 inch TV vs the usual 32 " - I usually keep CNN News in the background while doing other things. I even found it on my Sirius Radio in my rental car (Elanta)
