The map
The pin sits on Shorelines Casino Belleville at 380 Bell Boulevard. TownePlace Suites by Marriott Belleville is next door, a little to the west, at 400 Bell Boulevard. On foot, Google Maps puts them about 300 metres and four minutes apart (walking route).

From Toronto, Google's fastest route runs the whole way along the 401 eastbound. Bell Boulevard runs along the south side of the highway in north Belleville. The Quinte Mall is on the same boulevard, which helps when you are looking for landmarks.
Parking. Great Canadian lists complimentary parking at the casino. Marriott's pages we could read do not state the hotel's parking terms, so ask with your request, especially if you are towing a trailer or a boat.
By train: VIA Rail to Belleville
Belleville station is at 250 Station St., Belleville, ON K8N 2T8. According to VIA Rail's station page, it is staffed and both the station and the ticket counter are open every day from 07:00 to 21:45. VIA asks passengers to arrive at least 20 minutes before departure. The station has wheelchair access to the building and the platform, a wheelchair lift, a courtesy wheelchair for boarding and a hearing loop at the ticket counter. Belleville is on VIA's Quebec City–Windsor Corridor between Toronto and Montreal. Wikipedia counts five daily passenger services each way; check VIA's timetable for your date.
From the station to the casino and hotel:
- Taxi. VIA's page lists Central Taxi, (613) 962-5353, and says to reserve in advance. Google Maps gives 9 minutes and 5.2 km by car (route).
- Bus. Belleville Transit, (613) 962-1925, also listed by VIA. On a Sunday-morning check, Google Maps planned about an hour with a change, ending at a stop on Bell Boulevard a short walk from the casino (transit route). Evening and Sunday service is thinner, so check the city's timetable.
- Car rental. VIA lists Avis.
- Rideshare. VIA's page lists a local carpool service.
By air
There is no commercial airport in Belleville. The nearest options we measured:
- Kingston (YGK): 54 minutes, 77.4 km by car.
- Toronto Pearson (YYZ): 1 h 47, 191 km by car. Wikipedia also mentions a Megabus service between Belleville and Pearson; check the operator for current schedules.
- Ottawa (YOW): 2 h 32, 257 km by car.
Winter
Belleville is on the north shore of Lake Ontario, and the 401 between Toronto and Kingston gets winter storms. If a storm closes in, the advantage of this stop is that you can leave the highway, park once and stay put. There is a pool, a kitchen and breakfast in the morning. Check the provincial road-conditions service before you set off.
Moving between the two buildings
The walk is short. Still, it is outdoors, and Bell Boulevard is a commercial strip with traffic. At night, wear something visible. In heavy snow, consider driving the 300 metres; both properties have parking.
