cruiseshmooz Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 Looking at Priceline, I notice that in the York Mills area, they no longer offer a 4 star choice. Does that mean that they no longer offer the Westin Prince Hotel?
thereuare Posted October 20, 2012 Report Posted October 20, 2012 It's possible this property no longer participates in the "name your own price" side of the service, or that the property has been downgraded, but the situation in this instance is a third option in that the zone boundaries have been redefined and the Westin Prince is located in the North York East zone, which does offer 4* bidding.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how your bidding goes or if you need help with a suggested strategy.PS- please follow-up your previous Priceline Albany thread confirming if you ultimately stayed with your hotel direct reservation at the Fairfield.

cruiseshmooz Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Posted October 20, 2012 Me, again. Would you kindly tell me the date I posted about Albany because I couldn't find it.We ended up with a senior price of around $92 plus tax at the Spring Hill Suites.

cruiseshmooz Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Posted October 21, 2012 Done!Back to the Westin. When I looked at Priceline's hotels, they had the Westin designated as Vaughn/North York. Now I am really confused. I think I will pass unless someone else reports a successful bid for the Westin.
thereuare Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 The 'retail' and 'bidding' sides of PRICELINE each use different zone names and boundaries.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

dc3 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Posted October 25, 2012 I can confirm that the Westin Prince is in the North York East zone and it is the only hotel I know of in that zone that would be 4*. The bidding site shows a 4* in that zone.
cruiseshmooz Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Posted October 26, 2012 Thank you for the information. That is good to know. Yesterday I prepaid at $123 plus tax per night for Nov. 16 & 17. Not so terrible.
