First bid: Amount: $60 Area: Downtown Toronto Star Level: 4 Rejected. Second bid: Amount $65 Areas: Downtown Toronto, Toronto East Star Level: 4 Accepted. I used Better Bidding's PRICELINE link.

Here I am, 4 months after my original post. I've read some comments about people worrying about being assigned less than stellar rooms because of bidding through Priceline.com, so I wanted to throw in my two cents. Upon check-in, the hotel person said that I was placed in a smoking room with king sized bed. I politely asked to be moved to a non-smoking room, as I had called the hotel several months in advance asking for a non-smoking room. He looked through the available rooms (the hotel had overbooked), and placed us in a gorgeous corner-room, with full views of the north and the east, on the 17th floor. Keep this in mind, and do remember that while your mileage may vary, politeness can take you a long way, too. Thanks again to Better Bidding, and I'll be sure to use the Savings Barn link when booking my next trip.

I'd just like to share my first bidding experience using PriceLine (earlier today): Bid 1: $90 USW - REJECTED Bid 2: $100 USW, Cat. Hill - REJECTED Bid 3: $110 USW, Cat. Hill, Civic Center - ACCEPTED Considering that the best value 4* on Hotwire for USW or USE was $155, and that Parc 55's Deluxe Room (least expensive) is $187, I'm VERY happy! Thanks to Better Bidding for all of the tutorials!
