Keirsten_m Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi, I am looking for a room in Downtown Toronto Southwest - Entertainment and Financial Districts for 2 adults and 2 children, 4* or better for August 21-22, 2017. I would like to spend less than 150 USD. Any help/tips are appreciated! Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Welcome to BetterBidding! Bidding on PRICELINE is probably not going to be the best option for this trip since you need accommodations for quad occupancy and all PRICELINE reservations are for double occupancy, so you run the risk that you are assigned a room with only one bed. However, all is not lost, as you could use: PRICELINE EXPRESS - choosing an offer that shows a Bed Choice option and one of those options is a room with two beds (technically your reservation is still only for double occupancy, but i don't know of anyone who has yet had an issue showing up with 4 guests when the room is designed to accommodate that many... so still a risk, but a very slight one, imo) HOTWIRE - two options here... 1) you can search for 2adults/2children and are guaranteed that the room will accommodate the number of guests included in your search (this usually means 2 beds in the room, although the second 'bed' could be a pullout sofabed, a rollaway brought into the room, etc) or 2) search for double occupancy and find a hotel that offers a bed choice option just as is mentioned above for PRICELINE EXPRESS (same caveats/risks apply) Of course you could also bid on PRICELINE and hope for the best and that the hotel will be willing and/or able to provide you with a room that will accommodate everyone in your family, but that would be a much larger risk than the other options above (and not one i would be willing to take myself in a large city, where rooms are typically smaller than usual and hotels tend to have a high percentage of rooms with only one bed) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

Keirsten_m Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi, Thank you for the response, it's very helpful! I guess my best option would be to book through PRICELINE EXPRESS using the Bed choice option or through HOTWIRE. 3.5* or better and less than 150 USD would be ideal! Another option would be to bid on two hotel rooms instead of just one. Would this be better? Link to comment

Would this be better? ... but if sticking with your $150 budget that leaves only $75/nite for each room, and that is not likely going to happen for these dates for a 3.5* or better Downtown hotel. Also, you may or may not be able to get connecting rooms (or even ones that are next to each other), so unless the parents are willing to split up with one kid in each room, you could have another issue if the kids are too young to stay in a room by themselves. Using our BiddingHelper.com tool i searched for your dates and none of the 3.5* PRICELINE EXPRESS offers in the Downtown Toronto Southwest - Entertainment & Financial Districts zone offers a room choice of two beds in the room. Unfortunately the same goes for HOTWIRE when searching for 1room/2adults... and changing the search to 1room/2adults/2children the least expensive 3.5* or better property in the Downtown West zone is priced at $195/nite: 3.5* HOTWIRE Downtown Toronto West for $195.00 Free Internet Indoor Pool Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Golf Room Accessible ==> best guess would be the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Toronto Downtown If you're willing to look at the other downtown zones i also see this (2adults/2children search): 4* HOTWIRE Downtown Toronto East for $181.00 Free Internet Suite Smoke Free Fitness Restaurant Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf Kitchenette Room Accessible ==> looks to be the Cambridge Suites Hotel - Toronto which isn't too far from the Downtown West zone, gets great reviews, and might work well for your plans given the extra rooom If staying below $150 is the primary objective there is also this offer: 3.5* Downtown Toronto East for $146.00 Free Internet Indoor Pool Smoke Free Fitness Pool Restaurant Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Deaf Accessible Travel Accessible Room Accessible Bathroom Accessible Handicapped Parking Roll-in Shower ==> Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto would be my best guess here Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.
