BinCanada Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Started bidding at $77 plus had $7 Pline bonus cash/night. Did 7 free re-bids increasing by $3 each. Then on 8th bid-upped it to $108, then on 9th upped it to $115 plus the $7. Won Hyatt Regency on King St. $115/night plus taxes: total for 2 nights = US$273.18 paid by me.(Plus extra $14 was Pline "money".)Did not include Downtown North in bid as couple of those hotels do not have pools.Think I got a bit carried away bidding-thinking I should use the $7 bonus cash which expired at midnight.Cheapest rate at Hyatt.com is $175/nt plus taxes, so saved a bit of money.I assume hotels are busier than 2 years ago, as when I attended Roger's Cup tennis 2 years ago I got the Sheraton Downtown for $79/nt on Hotwire!Now to look for another hotel for Aug.11-13. I think I will just watch and wait a while. :) Link to comment
Verbat Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Congratulations on the win.This is a great hotel and the location is amazing. Just in the downtown area. King street is great for restaurants and night life. Of course the rest of the downtown area is just a walking distance away from the hotel.Enjoy the city. Link to comment

Paul G. Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'm interested in Toronto/Downtown South for about the same time period. Any general advice on whether it's a good idea to try to book now vs. waiting until closer to the date of the stay? Link to comment
