You are so right, it's a giant leap from the States. You've got several large hotels right off 401 & Dixie there, and I remember my first visits staying at that corner, I hit Ambrosia, Two Stars, Bohemian Club and Blue Lagoon...thought I was in heaven. Then I found massageplanet.net and discovered how far down I really was, lol.
I think everyone should hit the lesser just to have a better appreciation for the upper scale.
