Hotels for Toronto Blue Jays vs. Reds (Fan Appreciation Weekend)

Expect giveaways, on-field ceremonies and a crowd thanking the team for the year gone by, whatever the standings say. Families tend to turn out in force for the daytime kickoff, and there's usually a lighter, more celebratory feel than a typical weekday game. It's as much about closing the chapter as it is about the baseball itself.

Home to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Rogers Centre is a landmark retractable-roof stadium in downtown Toronto, sitting in the shadow of the CN Tower and hosting baseball and the biggest stadium concerts. The surrounding area is thoroughly walkable, close to the waterfront, the entertainment district and countless restaurants.

Union Station's rail, subway and streetcar links are right beside it. Booking a room downtown lets you walk to the game past the city's landmarks and back to your room easily once it ends.
