Toronto is a really super city.  I was there for two weeks back in July 2001, and had a ball.  Because we were catching up with old friends, we did quite a lot of lounging around in bars, but still managed to squeeze a few things in!

We went up the CN Tower twice, once during the day, and then once again at night to eat in the 360 degree revolving restaurant, which is well recommended.

We did a tour of the Sky Dome stadium, and went to a baseball match one night.

We also took a cruise out onto Lake Ontario, for a couple of hours, which was lovely in the sun.  Make sure to pick a boat which is licensed!

Casa Loma was interesting for a few hours, but if you�re not interested in stately homes, don�t go.

When we were there, the city was hosting an Indy 500 race, which was brilliant.

The shopping is very good along Yonge Street, the longest street in the world.

It is a lovely city to walk around, and we found it to be extremely safe and clean.  Also, the subway is very easy to navigate, and is really efficient.  You will be spoilt for choice of places to eat and drink.

We also went to Niagara for one night, and to Montreal for four nights, both of which were well worth the effort.

Agree with luckystrike, Toronto's a great city.

The CN tower is a must, but also the science museum is brilliant. It has an Optimax cinema and is on about 5 floors, with lots of 'hands-on' things to do. It's a bit of a way out of the main city but the transport system (buses and metro) is excellent.

Chinatown has a huge selection of Chinese restaurants, but there are also Indian, Italian, French etc and the shopping is first-rate.

If you have time a day trip to Niagara is well worth it - I think it's about an hour and a half by coach. We were offered (and took) a helicopter ride over the Falls and that was spectacular.

Don't know the Delta Chelsea but I'm sure it'll be okay - have a great time!

yes i stayed in that very hotel, it was very accomodating reminded me of holiday inn's, it's very handy for everything.

You might like to take one of the tour buses - I know it's a bit touristy - but you're allowed to get on and off them as you please. It's a good way to get to various attractions such as CN Tower as well.

Have a good trip.
