Priceline Hotel: Downtown Toronto North 2.5* Bidding Help Needed ASAP

[canadadrygreentea]

Hi there,

First time Priceline user here need bidding advice on the following...

Dates: Fri. Jan. 28 - Tues. Feb. 1, 2011 (4 nights)

Location: Downtown Toronto North

Median retail hotel price (from Priceline): $63/night

Ideal Budget: $40-45/night (is this realistic? Any higher and I will have to cut to 3 nights)

Your help would be greatly appreciated and I will use your PRICELINE links/post back if I'm successful.

Please reply ASAP (I'm posting via mobile phone so excuse the messiness)

PS I tried scoring this area last summer during peak season but was unsuccessful

I'm also willing to bid $40/night on 2* hotels in the same area but the median price was $20 higher @ $83/night

Not sure if $45 will be enough for a 2.5* property, but if you want to give it a try, in the Downtown North zone you have ONE re-bid zone. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

Select 2.5* Downtown North...

Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $45

If the above is rejected not sure if you want to try for a 2* hotel OR reduce the number of nites to three. If you want to try again at the 2* level i'd just bid $45 as you don't really have any time to cut corners.

Please use the search box on the top right corner of this page as it will enable you to bid thru the 'regular' PRICELINE interface from your smart phone.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.
