Hotwire Hotel: Downtown Toronto 4* - ID Help

[undeadlylike]

I'm searching for August 21-23 and it says its a 4-star hotel in downtown east for $94.

Amenities include: spa, high speed internet, restaurant onsite and a fitness centre.

Any ideas?? I was sort of hoping to get the Cosmopolitan but it doesn't look like Hotwire matches people up with boutique hotels a lot...?

My other option was a 4-star in Downtown West for $82. Amenities include: non-smoking rooms, a fitness centre, pool, restaurant, business centre and high speed internet.

Thanks!

Welcome to BetterBidding, undeadlylike.

Based on the amenities listed, Le Royal Meridien King Edward and the Westin Harbour Castle are possibilities for the Downtown East hotel; the Sheraton, Renaissance, and InterContinental Yorkville are all possibilities for the Downtown West Hotel.

However, if you change the search parameters to 2 adults/1 child, the rates are the same, but more information appears for both hotels.

For the Downtown West hotel, the amenities remain the same, but the following TripAdvisor information appears: 4 rating, 600+ reviews (last reviewed July 2009). This is a match for the Sheraton.

For the Downtown East hotel, the amenities are: Smoke Free, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business, High-Speed Internet, Tennis, Spa. The TA info is: 4 rating, 340+ reviews (last reviewed July 2009). This is a match for the Westin Harbour Castle.

If you are interested in the Sheraton or Westin, it would be safer to book as 2 adults/1 child, as there's no way to be sure that the hotels you saw in your original search are the same. Nobody has reported receiving the Cosmopolitan Hotel either though Priceline or Hotwire; popular boutique hotels generally don't have many excess rooms to sell.

If you decide to book through Hotwire, please start your purchase though the HOTWIRE link on this site.
