I'm a bit disappointed because this is $6 more than the Residence Inn priceline win I got last week. It is thanksgiving weekend so that hotel was all booked up. I've read a lot of mediocre to bad reviews about this hotel (smell/noise/bathrooms and overall out of date). I guess that is just part of using PRICELINE. Sometimes you luck out.

Thank you for sharing your results with the board... sorry to hear that you're disappointed in the outcome, but keep in mind that rates are date specific. WIth at least one other hotel in the area sold-out for this nite, other hotels likely have high demand as well, and you should therefore expect a higher bid to be necessary to win a hotel vs. a previous set of dates when demand may have been lower.

Also, the majority of reviews i'm seeing for property range from "ok" to "very good", so while it may not be the Residence Inn which you apparently liked, i think this is still a pretty good win... especially at $54/nite.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Enjoy your stay.

This hotel turned out to be really nice!

The elevator was a bit slow but the actual room was clean and nicely renovated! I liked it more than than the Courtyard Toronto =)
