Thanks! I was able to book the Hilton Union Square directly for a cheaper rate and cancelable - if the rates on Hot.wire go down, I'll book and update the forum.

Oct 7 to Oct 10 $243 CAD/night Free Internet Boutique Hotel Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Centre Restaurant Business Centre Accessible for the Blind Accessible for the Deaf 95% recommended on Hotwire 4 out of 5 on Tripadvisor "Last person got Villa Florence Hotel" - just not sure if I should trust this. Thanks!

You were correct - Portofino Hotel & Marina. Actual cost was $122/night prior to taxes and fees. Total for 6 nights $873.

Looking for October 10-16th, 2013, price $167/night. Thought it might be the Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach, but remembered Hotwire now classes that as 4*. Amenities listed: 3.5-star Hotel in Redondo Beach - Hermosa Beach Near Beach Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Accessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Accessible path of travel In-room accessibility Accessible bathroom Handicapped parking Roll-in shower Thanks!!

Higher than I usually have to pay, but still a good deal - apparently it's a busy weekend in Toronto... I used the PRICELINE link above. Thanks!

Original bid $80 for 4* in Halifax - rejected. Second bid $80 for 3.5* in Halifax - rejected. Third bid $85 for 3.5* in Halifax & Airport - rejected. Fourth bid $88 for 3.5* in Halifax & Airport & Bedford - accepted. I used the PRICELINE link above, as usual. Very happy to have this resource - thx!

Looked up Hotwire to see the prices for this date in Downtown Toronto...$144/night for 4 star. Went on to Priceline (via link above): First bid $100 in Downtown South - rejected Second bid $105 added Downtown North - rejected Third bid $110 added Burlington (no 4 star hotels) - accepted! $133 total with fees/taxes - much better than Hotwire!

Started bidding at $75, rejected. Re-bid $80, rejected. Re-bid $85, rejected. Re-bid $90, accepted. From other posted wins, I predicted I would get the Marriott for $90, but thought I would try my luck for a lower price. Quite happy with the price as this is the May long weekend.

Bid $75 accepted. Total for 2 rooms with taxes/fees is $179.20USD. Very happy with this deal! Used the PRICELINE link above.

Great rate for this hotel, however $77 was my first bid - probably should have started even lower! :o Total $95 usd with taxes. Used the PRICELINE link above!

First bid $85 for Toronto (Downtown South) - rejected, but offered $100 re-bid. Declined re-bid. Second bid $90 and added Downtown North - bid accepted. Taxes/Fees - $20.15 TOTAL - $110.15 USD I used the PRICELINE link for my bidding. Great property - happy with the results!

First bid accepted - probably should have started lower, but happy with the results. Additional $18 in taxes/fees - total $95 USD charged to credit card. Used the PRICELINE link above...
