jajack21e Posted June 1, 2010 Report Posted June 1, 2010 First time in Toronto, would like to try Hotwire. Budget is max $100/nt, preferably cheaper because of the unknown parking charge (no choice, renting a car fr Buffalo airport). We've stayed at all hotel levels from Days Inn to Rennaisance so we're very flexible. We are a family of 2 adults/2 children (9 & 2 yrs), & here's what I found:$94 3* Downtown West - smoke free, restaurant, laundry, business ctr, tennis, 70% recommend$74 2.5* Downtown East - fitness, pool, restaurant, business ctr, internet, near golf, 70% recommend$89 2* Downtown West - comp breakfast, fitness, internet, 75% recommendI also tried changing persons to 2 adults/1 child hopinging that they would still offer 2 beds, here are the options:$83 3.5* Downtown East - smoke free, fitness, pool, restaurant, business ctr, internet, 70% recommended$94 3* Downtown West - smoke free, restaurant, laundry, business ctr, tennis, 70% recommendedWe can split our stay & shorten to 6/12-6/14 as we'll be heading to Canada's Wonderland & don't mind not getting back to the same hotel downtown, & here's the options for 2 adults only, may get lucky & be given 2 beds otherwise don't mind if I sleep on the floor, LOL (with kids show same as above):$99 4* Downtown West - smoke free, fitness, pool, restaurant, business ctr, internet, 75% recommendedAlso, I do know availability changes constantly, but do you have any idea if there's any particular day or time when new inventory or better deals appear?Thank you so much for your help!

jajack21e Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Posted June 2, 2010 This is wonderful info, thanks so much for your help! We're thinking of settling for the Delta Chelsea as they appear to cater to kids, but as you mentioned, they come & go & the hotel is gone now. I'm going to check again tomorrow. We decided to look into 3* & up hotels at this time. Thank you for your time, this site is filled with valuable info. Definitely using your HOTWIRE links. :)
