Parking in just about all DC hotels in the downtown zones is very expensive. Not sure if you're willing to park your car away from the hotel. If you are, there is a 24 hr parking garage about 2 blocks south of where your hotel is. Address is 1725 Desales St NW #200, Washington, DC 20036. It will cost about half of what your hotel is charging.

Can someone please confirm whether this hotel is in the Columbus "North" zone or the Columbus "Worthington - Polaris - Westerville" zone. The title of this thread says "North" but the location of this hotel seems to be in the "Worthington - Polaris - Westerville" zone. Would greatly appreciate it if someone can help out, looking to bid in this area. Thanks.

Feb 10 - 12 is during Winterlude in Ottawa. Hotels get very busy during this time. Feb 10-12 is the second weekend of Winterlude. For a 3.5 star you are probably looking at the $95-$100 range and for the 4 star Marriott probably $105 and up.

Note that as of Feb 1st, 2012 this hotel is now called The National Hotel & Suites. By the way, an absolutely wonderful hotel, no complaints whatsoever.

Won the Delta Hotel & Suites. Last failed bid was $84. Used the PRICELINE link.

Booked the Hyatt Regency Montreal (1255 Jeanne-Mance) for this upcoming weekend. Failed at $85, was given a counter-offer of $98 but ignored it, re-bid at $88 and got it. Used the PRICELINE link.

Started at $35 and bid incrementally up. At $45 received a counter-offer for $60, I ignored this and bid $47, once again I received a counter-offer. I figured I was real close so I added $1...and got it. Room Subtotal: $96.00 Taxes & Fees: $24.18 Total: $120.18 Used the PRICELINE link

Isn't this Crowne Plaza North on Doubletree Avenue? That would put it in the "Worthington - Polaris - Westerville" area. I believe this one comes up often in that area. I don't think there is a Crowne Plaza North in the "North" area on Priceline. Am I wrong?

After many days of bidding and rebidding for a 4* in the Downtown area or a 3.5* in the Riverfront-Covington area and bidding up to $85 without success (prices seemed much higher than normal for these days), I decided to lower my expectations to a 3* in the Riverfront-Covington area and finally got the Radisson at $62. Last failed bid before $62 was $60 Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $62.00 Subtotal: $124.00 Taxes & Fees: $27.02 Total Charges*: $151.02 Used PRICELINE link as always.

Tried to book a room in Times Square at the last minute (literally the night before). Prices seemed very high. Started at $160 for a 4* and bid incrementally up by $10 until bid was finally accepted at $270. One of the highest prices I've seen show up on here for a 4* in NYC. This was for a business trip with company paying, figured I'd use Priceline to save them a little bit of money. Rates directly from the Hotel for those nights were around $399.

Hyatt Regency Montreal Montreal 1255 Jeanne Mance Street Montreal, Quebec H5B 1E5 Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$60.00 Subtotal: US$120.00 Taxes & Service Fees: US$28.04 Total Charges: US$148.04 Originally bid $55, wasn't accepted, but was counter-offered $70. Re-bid $60 and was not accepted again. This is kinda weird but went back the next day and bid $65 only to have a message come up saying that I had a successful bid already for these days in this city. Not sure what had happened, so I went to the "check your request" page and clicked the link and sure enough it showed up as a successful bid. So first it was not accepted and then somehow it was, no idea why this happend. First time this has happend to me. By the way, noticed that previous wins on here show this as 3*, but this came up as a 3.5* for me (they "upgraded" me)
