Ended up splitting our trip up into two sections (Aug 7-12 & Aug 12-14), bid on PRICELINE using the link, and getting into two 4* hotels instead for cheaper than this one. The Westin Harbour Castle for 8/7-8/12 and this Priceline win at the Hilton for 8/12-8/14.

So we had to split our trip to Toronto into two hotels, but this ended up being a difference of getting our first hotel at $84, and this hotel at $94 versus paying $120-130 on HOTWIRE / PRICELINE pricing for a straight week. The bidding strategy used here was: First bid, $90 downtown South, denied. Second bid, $92 downtown North, denied. Third bid, $94, added random rebid zone, accepted. A bit of a pain to switch hotels, but they're only a few blocks away from each other and this way saves us probably $200. Here is my winning priceline bid for the other leg of my stay at the Westin.

After repeatedly checking Hotwire and Priceline for Aug 7 - Aug 14th, and getting bids as high as $110 denied, I changed my dates in HOTWIRE (checking out on the 12th instead of 14th) and noticed a drop in prices. So, I revisited PRICELINE and started with a bid of $80 and the new dates. First bid was $80, downtown South, denied. Second bid was $82, added downtown north, denied. Third bid was $84, added a random zone, accepted. I'll make another thread showing my win for my other dates (Aug 12-14th).

Hi there, The dates I am looking for are August 7-14, one room, two adults. There is a 3* in downtown Toronto East showing for $97. The amenities listed are fitness, pool, restaurant, laundry and internet. Any ideas? I will be sure to use the HOTWIRE link if I do book! Thanks.

Not sure if anyone will know, but just a quick question: I have someone else who wants to book on Hotwire and is hoping to end up with the Days Inn Barrie as well for the same dates as me. Hotwire does show the same amenities for a 2.5*, but this time it says "We are still gathering reviews for this property." When I booked it told me that the property had a 95% recommendation from Hotwire users. Do you think my friends will end up with a different hotel if they book? Thanks.

After seeing the previous Barrie post, I used the HOTWIRE link on this site to snag the Days Inn Barrie; this is the exact hotel we wanted. Amenities were as the previous poster listed: Complimentary breakfast, fitness, pool, business center and internet access. Thanks to the previous poster and to this site!

I am looking at going May 26-29th. For some reason the prices are fairly high those dates. Anyways, there is a 2* hotel in Downtown Montreal but there are no amentities showing at all! Any chance of identifying this? I've tried Priceline already and have gone as high as $85 for 2.5 star and was denied :)

I was thinking, is it possible that the 3* hotel in downtown Montreal with the amenities Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center, Spa is the Novotel? According to this thread, when the Novotel was 3.5*, those were the amenities listed: http://www.betterbidding.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry262212

I posted a few days ago about a 3* Montreal downtown hotel. I am getting a different hotel listing by requesting a hotel with 1 adult and 2 children. This 3 star hotel is listed for $65 and lists Fitness, Pool, Restaurant and Business Center as the amenities. I cannot find a match! Any ideas? BTW, I will definitely use the Priceline and HOTWIRE links listed on this website....this website is awesome!!

Hi all, I am on Hotwire, and searched downtown Montreal using the dates January 30 - February 3. One of my results is a 3* hotel for $69. The amenities listed are Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center and Spa. I checked the current listings of known hotels and couldn't match it up. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
