Many of our valued gaming enthusiasts like to arrive on the Wednesday night and start gaming first thing in the morning thursday, relax, meet up with friends and enjoy a meal out before they get down to serious gaming on Thursday. PLEASE NOTE: Game Hall is NOT open Wednesday night. Our room rate block will apply on Thursday thru Saturday, just let the hotel staff know when you are booking your room.

How to book your stay?

IMPORTANT 2025 RATES ARE NOT CONFIRMED YET. The information below is from last year !!!

We have locked in the biggest block possible at this hotel but we are pretty sure it will sell out faster than the old location.
DO NOT WAIT... there is a Quali nearby but if you want to stay and play... you won't want to miss this great rate for our group right in the convention hotel.

DON'T WAIT. The room blocks sell out... once our block is filled, the hotel uses standard rates if they have any leftover availability.
The old hotel HAS sold out in some prior years... BOOK NOW TO LOCK IT IN !!! (Group Rate Held until SOLD OUT)

Special BLOCK RATES... with NO PARKING FEES ANYMORE (Saves $17-20 per night over old hotel rates)

Standard Regular Room:

  • $89 CAD PER NIGHT

Amazing deal to stay for the whole convention...
