To Downtown Sept 16...140...no To Downtown Sept 9....140...no TO Downtown Sept 12 (tuesday)...$99 accepted. Harbour Castle Westin.

Sydney NS bid 1* (only available!) May 12, 13, $35...bid rejected -bid 1*, May 12, $40...bid rejected -bid 1*, May 13, $45...bid rejected No more rebids allowed, as all date combinations were used. Will try again in 72 hours. (This is graduation weekend, so the hotels will probably be busy and not inclined to sell off rooms cheap!)

Most excellent. I will check those out.

Hmmmm...."other hotels not listed in the non-opaque section of priceline."....now I am confused. If I can only do a 1*, I would want to pay, at the very most, $50 per night. But would go 60 for a better hotel, which doesnt seem to be offered. I believe the hotels I listed above are all the hotels in Sydney. I am not sure if any of the others are 1*'s or not... So short of bidding on only the Days Inn, what other options do I have? Short of kipping on someone's couch, which at this point I would like to avoid...

That would be for travel May 12, 13 to Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. The price quoted for the one-star Days Inn, Sydney was $82. (the 3* Delta Sydney was $128) I would like to bid on one of the better hotels, but it doesn't seem to give me that option, only one star hotels appear to be available. It doesnt rate any of the other four hotels...I can get prices by clicking on the check availability button...they are 82, 90, 92 and 121. But I have no idea if they are included on priceline.com's "list". Seems like only the dodgy Days Inn. Am I reading into this correctly?

When I go into priceline, put in my dates and location, it gives me a list of 5 hotels and quotes me prices on only two of them, a one star and a three star. NO ratings or prices are quoted for the other 3. When I then go to "Name my own price", Sydney (Cape Breton) Nova Scotia, only comes up with the one star option. Does this mean I am only bidding on the one 1-star hotel? Anyway I can tell how many hotels I am bidding on? Expanding the location isnt really an option for Sydney, (as you would probably have to include Halifax, over 3 hours away!)
