I’ve stayed in Ellicotville NY a few times driving the trip to TO. It’s a small town with decent places to stay and eat on the fastest route, about 5.5 hours drive from here.

Bradford, PA. Be sure to get tax-free gas on the Indian reservations.

We have family in Buffalo. We stop in Clearfield PA (about 4 h from DC).

Corning is lovely but it is a longer drive (and on a different route).

Why chime in? Well over 5 hours from DC.

So is Corning.

I stand corrected. Corning is 5 hours away.

Corning has a cute, walkable downtown, several hotels right there, and lots of restaurant choices. And the glass museum if you have time, but it's still a sweet place to stop even if you're just having dinner, going for a stroll, and spending the night.


+1, great place for an overnight.

There aren’t many great options. We usually stop (and often sleep) in Altoona, PA if you’re taking the shortest route or Erie, PA if you’re going via Pittsburgh. There’s a nice waterfront hotel in Erie that has beautiful views. I can’t remember the name but I think it’s a Marriott property.

We always drive straight through to visit family, so no reco on place to stop. I do encourage you to go further on day 1 as sometimes the border can take longer than expected and Toronto traffic can be really, really bad. You could end up with your second day taking much longer than anticipated.

We are driving to Toronto with kids and want to make an overnight stop. Can you recommend a safe quiet town on route and preferable 4-5 hours into it?
