Send me a PM and I can tell you all you need to know, possibly more!
In a nutshell hostels can be a great way to go, many have private rooms and all in Canada have kitchens (this is not always the case in Europe so it does depend). The added value is that you get to meet people from all around the world and share travel tips and stories.
