Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Toronto (Downtown North) Delta Chelsea

[neverwhere]

Used the board's PRICELINE link for my first ever try at bidding.

Thought I'd try my luck and started at:

4* for $70 in Downtown South -Declined,

4* for $75, added Downtown North - Declined.

4* for $80, added Toronto East as there are no 4* - Declined

4* & 3.5* for $85 for Downtown North, South and Toronto East - Declined

4* & 3.5* for $90 for Downtown North, South and Toronto East & Toronto West - Accepted at Delta Chelsea.

Noticed that other posters have had lower bids accepted in Downtown South/North, but perhaps the fact that I'm booking 1.5 months out affected it? Either way, saved myself $78 compared to the regular rate, so I'm happy with that! Thanks for all the FAQ and tips on the board!

When lowering the quality level of the hotel ,I would not have raised my bid.

At most,I would have kept it at the same rate.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Congratulations on your success! While a very good price for this hotel, you could improve upon your bidding as JOSEPH SOHMER points out above. See this If You Lower Your Star Rating then Lower Your Bid Price thread for a further discussion on the topic with an example which i think helps explain the point. Feel free to ask any questions you may have in this regard.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
