Hotwire Hotel: Booking in Toronto for 2 unrelaed adults/1 room

[ballyk]

I am considering using HOTWIRE to book a room (yes I will use this site :) )

I am staying in Toronto for one night July 3, 2010. I will be going to the U2 concert and want to be downtown and spend as little as possible for the room. There will be two of us and I have read the facts regarding the number of beds. I am a female willing to share a room with an unrelated male but not a bed. I am wondering if Hotwire/Priceline are for me. I did put in 4 adults to insure 2 beds but it really affected the rate and choices.

Suggestions in general since I will be doing the same for Montreal, Chicago and Quebec and specific to Toronto will be appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Do you see the same rate jump if you search for 2adults/1child?

Thanks for using our PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links for your purchases.

I did try that and there was a 3 1/2 star Toronto east hotel that stayed the same. I am using the Hotwire list to identify hotels and there are only 2 of the 3 1/2 listed. I went to the hotel web sites hoping that rating would not have single queen rooms. One of them may work but the other says a single queen room could acomodate 3 people which doesn't really solve the problem.

I would assume that the hotel would provide a rollaway or the room has a pullout sofabed... it would not be reasonable, imo, to suggest that one bed could accomodate triple occupancy.

Thank you. That is a good point. I had just read some of the stories from other people about the difficulties with the number of beds. I want to save money but not ruin my trip.
