tilepusher: You're right. It was likely the Delta Chelsea. I've read some bad reviews about it though... Hyatt Regency is great. More than ok. But I don't think it can possibly be a 3.5*. I just tried splitting, to no avail either. Do you think prices are likely to drop closer to Sept?

Thank you so much. I have bid up to $70. No luck. Looks like I will just have to swallow the price. What do you expect I should bid based on prior wins with a likely expectation that I will get my bid accepted? Am so sad I let that $56/night deal go under my nose.

Thank you so much. Might be too risky to go with this one considering the low stars and unknown nature of it. So unless I post otherwise, I think we're going to not take a chance with this property. Nothing else seemed to fit 2 adults, 2 kids...

I searched August 2-4, for 2 adults, 2 kids, and I only get two hits. The one with the most stars is 2.5* @ $68. Restaurant and laundry amenities are listed. Any idea what this property might be? Is it the Dalton Hotel & Suites?

If a bid split seems really unlikely, I guess lets go with the $70 option...

Also, I'd go down to 3.5 stars if I could predict what I'll likely get and it has decent tripadvisor reviews.

I feel like such an idiot. I had seen a Hotwire deal just a week ago for my stay during these dates, 4 stars...It was $56-58. Should have grabbed it then! now i'm really kicking myself. splitting wise, i'm willing to split the stay a bit, and can bid up to, say, 65. $70 if i have no choice. i was originally hoping to get the sheraton. PS. for my last booking, I actually ended up booking directly with the hotel via an industry connection. (My stay ended up being free)

Sorry for not posting my end results for the other thread. I actually ended up booking a hotel directly on that trip.

Sorry for never updating my status on this thread. I actually ended up booking a hotel directly for the two days.

I was really hoping to win the Sheraton Hotel in Toronto for $55 based on some people's bids for Sept 10-19, but having bid on the downtown region of toronto at $55, my bid was not accepted. I need help. I can't go much higher and can only do sept 10-19 or sept 10-18... Any suggested path of action? (I used the link to PRICELINE from this site, of course) :-)

You're right, omit the Financial Area. Sorry about that. I'm looking for a 4* at the lowest price, but... They label a lot of hotels as 4* and that's not really accurate, so I want to make sure it's something that also has 4* (at least according to reviews) on tripadvisor-- is that possible at all on priceline? If not, a normal strategy for 4* would be fine...

I have no idea. It's been over a year ago... but a good idea.

Actually - I've posted my winnings here before, but it's been a while since I've last signed in and have forgotten my old username entirely, so I had to create a new one (I also couldn't figure out which of my email addresses I used to sign up originally). Sorry for the confusion. Westminster, Bloomsbury, Kensington, Mayfair, Notting Hill, Regents Park, even the Financial Area are all fair game for me, London wise.

Hi--I've used this site before for HOTWIRE (and it's a gem!). I need some help bidding for a room using PRICELINE as I've never done so before. I want something central and 4-5* (but more importantly, with tripadvisor rating of 4 or more), assuming that taxes are not included, I'm looking for something under $125 (and preferably closer to $80). Any advice is much appreciated. I need one room, for 1 person.
