Welcome here is some additional help in understanding the venue and where best to stay.
How to decide where to stay?
Start by looking at the different ways to get to the Automotive Building. The Automotive Building in an area that is isolated from the city. To the south is the lake, to the north is a major highway and rail corridor. I marked these in Red. The Red lines are major highways or rail lines. Green lines are ways into the site. “X” marks Exhibition GO (train station) and the Automotive Building. Green Shaded areas are residential and will have accomodations. The green lines mark the way into the area around the Automotive Building. The closest residential areas are shaded in Green.
Key: Red lines are major highways or rail lines. Green lines are ways into the site. “X” marks Exhibition GO (train station) and the Automotive Building. Green Shaded areas are residential and will have accomodations.
Below are the major roads and highways that lead to the site.
Ways into the Automotive Building:
Walk: If you walk from the Automotive Building north on Strachan Avenue you will find residential area within walking distance. For example, walking from the northern termination of Strachan Ave (Trinity Bellwoods Park) is an 18 minute walk.
Uber
Uber from Exhibition GO (3 minutes) or walk 11 minutes
Uber from any address in Toronto. Use Google maps from your address to the Automotive Building 105 Princes Blvd. Check to see how far, cost etc.
Bus (TTC – Toronto Transit Commision)
Bus: The Dufferin Bus #29 goes to within walking distance of the Automotive Building. It travels down Dufferin Street and is a DIRECT service.

Train Access via Exhibition GO network
The Automotive Building is an 11 minute walk, 3 minute Uber from the Exhibition GO train station. GO trains are comfortable and you will always be able to find a seat. When I checked the trains depart every 30 minutes.
Here are some example stops near which you could find accomodations:
GO stations to the West of Exhibition Station
Mimico GO station – 8 minutes
From Long Branch GO station – 16 minutes
Port Credit GO station – 23 minutes
GO stations to the East of Exhibition Station (probably requires a change of train at Union Station)
Scarborough GO station – 32 minute trip on the train.
Danforth GO station – 27 minute trip
