When is the best time to go to Southside?

The best time to visit Southside is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and ideal for outdoor activities. During this period, the average daily temperature hovers around 25°C, making it superb for exploring Southside's many parks and nature trails. The extended daylight hours also mean you have more time to enjoy attractions such as the lakeside promenades and outdoor markets. It's an excellent time for couples who enjoy leisurely strolls and al fresco dining. Autumn, from September to October, is also a wonderful time to visit, especially for those who appreciate scenic beauty and fewer crowds. The temperatures are cooler, typically ranging from 10°C to 18°C, and the region's foliage transforms into a spectacular display of reds, oranges, and yellows.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Southside hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Southside hotel?

Cambridge Hotel and Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, friendly, easy to get to from highway. Only complaint is the shower/tub needs a grab bar for safety."

The Walper Hotel, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The room was really clean and the staff were so friendly, accommodating and helpful. The AC would shut off a couple of times but it was understandable to save energy when we weren’t in the room. We had to get to our convention early on Saturday and Sunday and we were able to get our breakfast delivered right at 8am to us which we really appreciated. I will definitely be coming back to The Walper Hotel when I come back to Kitchener. Amazing and lovely staff! Thank you all!! <3"

The Laundry Rooms Gaslight Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

The facilities were immaculate, which always makes for a much more pleasant stay. I felt completely secure and at ease during my entire visit. I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a clean and friendly environment."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Waterloo - St Jacobs by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"First time stayed at this hotel in St. Jacobs. Location is excellent. Places we wanted to visit were just steps away. Ample self-parking spaces on-site. Very convenient. Staff is very informative. Dining room staff is courteous and efficient to bring out fresh batch of cooked or baked food. One of the best self-serve continental breakfast. Bedroom is clean and decorated in simple but calming design. The 2-Queen-bed suite we stayed in is very spacious. The cooling system inside the room is easy to operate and quiet too. In short, we had a very pleasant 2-night stay at this hotel. Will go there again. Highly recommend it."
