  1. Please move this over to Price.line forum as I ended up with International Plaza Hotel for $60 (Cdn$77 all in). Started with Bidding.Helper, bid for 4* from $60-68, adding zones that don't have 4*, then added 3.5* knowing only one of the zones selected, Airport East, had one (all other zones had only up to 3*) and set bid back to $60. Priceline Express had 3.5* for $67 at the time. Pleased with this buy. As always, thanks for help and tips!

  2. One night July 21, US$55, via BiddingHelper > Hotwire Easy View > FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, Self service laundry, Internet access, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Handicapped parking

     

    Do you think this is Holiday Inn? Also, what are the sure ways to see if it's free internet in "public spaces" or "in room"? Thanks!

  3. - There are three 'downtown' zones, which one(s) are you bidding?

    SouthWest and North
    - Using our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com what is the best rate you're able to find for a 4* hotel in the Downtown zone(s) you're bidding?

    $152. It seems it simply is a highly booked weekend. I'm surprised as it is not part of the "March Break" school vacation. Thanks for your comments. I'll try for the best, and continue to link via the board.

  4. Three days trying Priceline procedure. No bites on 3.5* up to $77. Hotwire had 3.5* for $76 so bought. Here's what I got:

    The National Hotel & Suites, an Ascend Collection hotel- 3.5-star hotel

  5. Answering my own question here:

    If you add a zone that does not have the star level (or higher) you want, you can add that zone(s) without risk of getting a hotel in that zone.

    Here are the steps to determine the highest star level in a zone:

    In the upper right of the Betterbidding window, click Priceline Quick Quote

    Type in Where are you going, select check-in and out dates

    In the Priceline window, click the Name Your Own Price tab

    Look in "Step 1: Choose where you want to stay" and write down the names of all the zones listed

    In Step 1, checkmark number 1

    Look in "Step 2: Choose the star level", and write down the highest star level that turns blue, not greyed out.

    In Step 1, uncheck number 1 and checkmark number 2. Beside that zone name, write down the highest star level turned blue.

    Repeat for all the zones.

    Now you know which zones can be added when you want to up your bid without risk of getting an undesired zone. Say you want a

    4* in zone 1. If zone 1's highest star level is 4, and zone 2's highest is 3, you can up your bid (after closing the browser

    and starting again using the Betterbidding Priceline Quick Quote link) by adding zone 2 with no risk of staying there because

    there is no 4* hotel there. You could continue to add zones which you know do not have the star level you need.
