nadmak Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 I would like to stay at Delta Toronto East for one night July 18 with my 2 kids as we will be visiting the zoo. From what I could see, I only found one 3.5* in that area (Scarborough-Pickering) and nothing higher to upgrade to.I want to pay no more than $70 for it. What strategy would you propose I use?Thanks!

thereuare Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Few points/reminders first:PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. Is this a risk you're willing to accept? If not, HOTWIRE may still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)Even though the property you want is the only one reported to the board at this star level, there could be others in this zone and star rating which have not yet been reported to the board (or have been upgraded since last reported).Please confirm that you're willing to take the risks above and that you're willing to bid on any hotel in the zone at the minimum star rating you designate, and we'll advise accordingly... or if you prefer to go with HOTWIRE.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
