BOOK YOUR TEAM with us

Summer is the perfect time of year for outdoor activity, and every summer, people travel all over Canada to participate in different sporting events and tournaments. To maximize the summer fun and weather, sport travellers will find they are travelling to a different sporting event almost once a week! Often times, many sporting events will require guests to stay overnight, which can become very costly, over an entire summer.

RCC is the ideal solution for sport teams, officials, and accompanying friends and family travelling on a budget. Our two bedrooms suites are perfect for travelling teammates, and with 19 different locations in Ontario, we are bound to have a location close to your tournament. RCC even has a location in Kamloops, British Columbia, also known as Canada’s Tournament Capital!

Working with group travel coordinators, the one thing the RCC team consistently hears, is the need for affordable accommodations and the ability to keep an entire group together. This can be a challenge, especially for larger groups, who are often too large for any one hotel to handle. Some of our RCC locations have over 1000 beds and are well equipped to handle groups of any size. In addition, our properties feature large, well lit parking lots, with ample parking for vans and buses. RCC is popular with many tour groups, especially student youth travel, because of our affordable pricing, our two private bedroom suites, and our destination locations, including Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ottawa, Toronto.
