cruiseshmooz Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 We wish to stay at the Westin Prince in North York. On your Priceline list, it seems to be the only four star hotel in that location. Is that correct? I would be disappointed to get a different hotel. Thanks.
AaronJB Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 This is the only 4* that has been reported to the board in this zone. There is always the possibility of new/unreported hotels appearing when bidding on PRICELINE, though.Let us know how you would like to proceed and we'll try to help.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
cruiseshmooz Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Posted April 27, 2010 Because someone else reported success at the Prince Hotel, I decided to give it a shot at the same price $70 for my stay May 21-24. No luck.
thereuare Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Rates are date specific, was the other user's win at $70 for the same dates as your own?What is your maximum bid for a 4* hotel for this stay? Is this the only zone you're willing to stay in?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

cruiseshmooz Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Posted April 27, 2010 Hi! The dates are not the same. Ours are for a holiday weekend. I want only that hotel. I think (hope) it's the only 4 star in the area. We already have a senior rate, which is $119. Had I not read about the posters good fortune, I would have been very happy with the $119!!!!
thereuare Posted April 27, 2010 Report Posted April 27, 2010 Rates are date specific, so you often may not be able to replicate another user's win if their dates are different than your own... demand (and therefore prices) could be higher for your own dates than the win you're looking at.While this property is the only 4* hotel reported to the board in this zone... there could be others. See the comments at the top of the Priceline Hotel List.Are you willing to accept a different 4* hotel in this zone? If so, how high are you willing to bid for the risk associated with receiving a different property?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

See the comments at the top of the Priceline Hotel List.This is actually my home area. The only other outside possibility of a 4* would be a star level upgrade to the Novotel North York Centre. The Westin Prince is an oasis in a hotel desert, and definitely deserves all it's stars :) !!

Are you saying the Novotel is a 3* and the only 4* would be the Prince? If that is the case, I would try another bid.

It has undergone some renovations recently, but personally I don't think it would warrant 4* (3.5* maybe). However, as the caveat says on the Priceline Hotel List, you must always be prepared for a surprise!!
cruiseshmooz Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Posted April 28, 2010 If on the regular priced PRICELINE list, Novotel is 3*, would they upgrade it for Name your own Price, and not on their regular list?
thereuare Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 It should be rated 3* on both sides of their service.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

cruiseshmooz Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 We have been to the Prince twice since the last post. However, we settled for the Senior rate of $119. We feel that it is a decent price and we like that particular hotel.
cruiseshmooz Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Posted August 9, 2010 Earlier, I posted in the wrong place.Do you think the Prince is still the only 4 star in North York East? Thanks.
thereuare Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 There is no way to know of a hotel is the only hotel at that star rating in a given zone.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
