If a priest decides to go on vacation one summer alone. Can he say Daily Mass in his room in the place he is staying? For example in a rented apt or his hotel room?
 
I agree - Yes.

I have sometimes asked for such a Mass to be offered up for the repose of the soul of one of my relatives.

Can. 932 §1. The eucharistic celebration is to be carried out in a sacred place unless in a particular case necessity requires otherwise; in such a case the celebration must be done in a decent place.

§2. The eucharistic sacrifice must be carried out on a dedicated or blessed altar; outside a sacred place a suitable table can be used, always with a cloth and a corporal.

So the question is whether the circumstances of his visit really create a sort of necessity to celebrate outside of a church, or whether this is merely desired as a convenience.
