Where to stay in Guildwood
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Guildwood is a neighbourhood within Scarborough, and the reason to sleep out here rather than in downtown Toronto is the train: Guildwood GO Station puts the Lakeshore East line and Via Rail Corridor services on the doorstep. Kingston Road runs past it. Anyone catching an early departure towards Ottawa or Montreal saves the run in from the centre, while visitors with the city itself in mind will do better closer to Toronto's core.
