For about $340USD, we got a room with two double beds and a view of Rogers Centre for the Tigers @ Blue Jays. Seeing a baseball game from your hotel room is excellent. Staying in a stadium-view room is really unique and a must-do for any baseball fan out there. The double rooms hold up to four guests for the game and have seating in the form of chairs, a bench, and a nice chair with an ottoman. The windows are floor to ceiling and open onto the stadium so you can see and hear the game. At night, just close your windows and curtains and you're good.
So, $340USD is a bit of money, but let's break it down:
-You don't have to buy tickets to the game (a savings of at least $50-$100, depending on where you sit in the stadium)
-You don't have to buy stadium food (no $6 hot dogs or $10 nachos)
-You don't have to buy stadium beer (so that's a significant savings)
I'd say we saved probably at least $120 not buying tickets and other nonsense in the ballpark, which is totally worth it. Plus you don't have to deal with the riff-raff of other people near you in the stadium. It's a nice, private space to watch the game and you're literally in the same outfield area as other ticket buyers, so you can see the field well and it's easy to pay attention to the game.
The hotel staff also do not think it is weird at all to roll in with a huge cooler or tons of cases of beer. Nice.
The hotel itself is nice. The self-parking is about $22USD and there's spaces right underneath the lobby of the hotel so you don't have to walk far to get in. The $22 also includes in/out privileges for your entire stay. The lobby is crowded on game days, so beware. There's a lot of people checking in/out and staying in the hotel even though they have regular game tickets, so the lobby and sidewalks can get pretty busy.
Our room was very clean, the beds were SUPER comfortable, and there were lots and lots of pillows. The bathroom was large and clean, shower had good pressure. There's room service available until 2 a.m., you can call down to the desk and get toiletries or extra pillows, and there's a restaurant, bar, and Starbucks in the lobby. The pool was super busy but it was nice to swim and was large enough that you weren't touching the people right next to you. There was also a nice hot tub and towels galore so you didnt need to bring one down from your room. There was a nice-sized gym with a good amount of equipment if you need it during your stay.
All in all, I really, really enjoyed my stay. We bought the stadium-view room for our fifth wedding anniversary celebration and it was so worth it. We got to watch an entire baseball game in the comfort of our own hotel room, we made our own lunches for cheap, had our own snacks, and brought our own cheap beer. A wonderful experience, especially for baseball fans.
