Welcome to BetterBidding!

CAREFUL!! Ottawa West is not a re-bid zone... although it contains no 2.5* hotels, it does have 3* properties. Threrefore, as you see this bid was upgraded to 3*, you could have been upgraded to a 3* hotel in the Ottawa West zone... which doesn't appear to be what you wanted. You can review re-bidding here: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained

Glad it worked out ok for you, enjoy your stay.

Thanks for the tip. I guess I lucked out because I wanted to stay downtown, but I'm really there for the Sens vs. Flyers hockey game which is in Ottawa West anyways -- but good to know this for the future nonetheless!
