Priceline Hotel: 3* Toronto (Airport ) Renaissance

[whplanet]

I originally booked the Sheraton Center in downtown Toronto for $68 on 7/29, but I decided to start my vacation a day early. I couldn't add the additional day for the same price using Priceline (they offered $80 per night), so I booked a hotel near the airport for the additional day.

Here is the final successful bid info:

Hotel: Renaissance Toronto Airport (3*)

Date: 7/28/06 - 7/29/06

Price: $40 (bid) + $12.95 (fees) = $52.95 (total)

I originally tried to get a hotel in Oakville-Burlington with an initial bid of $31 (based on a 2004 post to the forum), added Mississauga ($35), then finally added Airport ($40).

Adding more areas with the same hotel level and also increasing the bid is a quick way to overbid, but in my case, location wasn't important and I was bidding low anyway. I did it to ensure a successful bid in the end. It may be possible to get the same hotel for slightly less.

I'm sorry... I forgot to use SavingsBarn.com this time since I started bidding by trying to extend my stay, but I'll use it from now on.

Thanks for the post.

Enjoy your extra day of vacation and the rest of your stay.
