Priceline Hotel: 4* Toronto (Downtown North) The Sutton Place Hotel-Toronto

[Atraveller]

I have been bidding for the past couple of weeks for two nights at a 4* in Downtown South with no success. (I know it is early.) I have been going up to $84.

Tonight I went up to $85 and included Downtown North and won the Sutton Place. Total cost for two nights is $202.08 US. Sutton Place's lowest rate is $126 Cdn on their website. I used the new BiddingHelper.com tool and saw that HOTWIRE was offering a $96 Cdn rate in Downtown East and a $95 Cdn rate in Downtown West. Hotels.com rates were well over $100 per night. So I think this is a very useful tool.

You should be aware that Sutton Place's days are numbered. Currently this hotel is part apartment, part hotel. They have announced they are converting to condos. Conversion should begin before the end of the year. So their days as a hotel on PRICELINE are numbered. This may also mean they will become more aggressive for bids in Downtown North as they end their days as a hotel.

I have stayed here before. The hotel is well-located and the rooms are fine, but the parking charges are high (but you are "uptown").

And just to confirm, I used the Better Bidding PRICELINE link. As always thanks for your great site.

Congrats on your success. :)

Nice result for this Toronto property, and hopefully it will work well for your travel plans.

Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.
