Priceline Hotel: Hotel IDs in Sault Ste Marie, ON

[opus]

HI,

I'm looking for a hotel in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. I don't want US side hotels. I put in Aug 23-26 2010

Priceline shows 2* Moderate and 1* Economy. All in one zone. Does anyone have any insight as to which hotels Priceline is selling for this area now?

The Hotel list for Ontario on BB shows a 3* and a 2* (the Park Inn which is actually in the USA)

thanks for any help

Done! Same Result...just 2* Moderate and 1* Economy. I'm fine with the lower stars; I'm just looking to make an informed bid.

thanks

The zone appears to only include land on the Canadian side, so it would appear that you could receive a hotel on the US side, but you'll need to confirm this yourself.

If you go to MAPS and HOTELS.com and enter "Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario" you'll see hotels that PRICELINE uses on the retail side... the two sides of their site ('retail' vs. 'bidding') each use a different universe of properties, but this will at least give you an idea of what may be possible outcomes (but should not be considered finite)

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thanks for the advice, in the end we got a Friends and Family Rate from a colleague of CA$55/night for The Sleep Inn which seemed to be better choice than the guesswork of bidding.
