Priceline Hotel: Residence Inn (around Toronto)

[Noela]

Hi,

I would have to be in toronto for the month of July with my two kids. I have to stay for 31 days. All temporary accomodations exceed the $1000 that i budget.

I need a suite with kitchen facilities, and the living room with sofa bed. I am thinking of staying a Residence-Inn kind of place.

Can I book Residence Inn through Priceline ?

I have a car, hence location is not so important.

Regards, Noela

Is your stay July 1-July 31? If not, what are the actual dates of your stay?

Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

Thereuare,

Yes, it is from july 1 - 31st.

I am comparing the hotel accomodation with renting a furnished apartment.

thanks - Noela

The problem is that with Priceline you:

1) won't guarantee a room with a kitchenette

2) won't guarantee a pull-out sofa

You could try Hotwire and look for a property with a kitchenette icon, but to hit your $1000 budget you'd need a room less for about $30/nite, and a recent search of the area doesn't show anything within that price point.

If there is a college town nearby i would look there first as you can usually get a VERY cheap sublet from students that have one year leases but won't be there for the summer.

I don't know about the exact rates, but if you're going to bid for a hotel, you probably should split the few days in the beginning of the month from the rest of your stay since the Canada Day long weekend is probably a bit more expensive.

P.S. I can't recall the date, but I think The Ex might start at the end of July. You might want to split that part too.
