Is above most likely Intercontinental? I hope not. Why is Intercontinental even rated at 4.5 *? Intercontinental is available at regular Priceline (Hotels) at ~$155 / night - so not much of a deal here.

Is there a chance it might be Sofitel or even Crystal? I was at Sofitel for $150 / night recently.

Anyone ever bid/get "Marriott Residence Inn Toronto Downtown" at "255 Wellington Street West"?

Many "suites" include a "kitchenette", but usual rates are $200+ per night.

Thx for info Rob. Sounds like you been to "Hilton Garden Inn" before, do many rooms have a "kitchenette"? TIA.

Thx. I did see the 4* listing come up for about the same price. I was curious as to what the 3.5 * hotel would be (old rating for Renaissance, Sheraton?)

Thx for reply Warren. Yes, other sites listed Intercontinental at around $160, so only a $20 saving.

Read message. Used HOTWIRE link.

For "Apr 1 2011 - Apr 2 2011" search, came up with same result:

I am a newbie here, so bear with me.

According to Hotel list IC is a 4*: http://www.betterbidding.com/index.php?showtopic=92&

Does hotwire.com normally switch up the ratings/amenities to keep us on our toes?

Same dates Mar 18-21 shows Intercontinental rates to be $156/night on a related hotwire web-site. That's only $19 difference, is that the norm?

Did a search and came up with "3.5 * Toronto Downtown WEST".

According pinned/sticky "Hotwire hotel - Canada", there are no "3.5 * Toronto Downtown WEST" hotels. Or is my result reverting back to the older 3.5 * ratings for that zone: Renaissance or Sheraton Centre?
