kevertje Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I tried bidding up to $120 for this area but no luck. Other options is to go for 3 star or normal website booking.Any suggestions ?I already have the Intercontinental Front Street for 10/2 - 10/3 so I really want to stay close to it or otherwise outside the city since we have a car.Any suggestion for parking ?

thereuare Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Is $120 your maximum bid for a 4*?What would be your maximum bid for a 3*?What is the best rate you've found thru a direct booking? (as i mentioned in your previous post, quite a few downtown hotels i looked at earlier are sold-out for this nite)If you search outlying areas, what zone(s) are you willing to accept?

kevertje Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 hi,I will try too book a 3* in this area right now, otherwiwse I will just drive out of the city and try to find a cheaper hootel foro 70 CAD or something similar (Days Inn, Motel6, Comfort Inn, Best Western)we don't mind having a cheaper hotel but if you compare the priceline price and the 'on the desk' price it's ridiculous....we will be driving to Niagara Falls after the next 2 nights, so south of Toronto should be fine.I will let you know.thanks so far (are you online 24 h a day ? ;-)) Link to comment
kevertje Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 We want to stay 2 nights in the Canadian site of the Niagara Falls.Any tips for bidding strategies ?Thanks(PS, as always I will use the link) Link to comment
kevertje Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 It's a problem these days :)2nd night is unbelievable expensive... Some hotels offer 115 CAD for first night and 435 for 2nd night.What's going on in Niagara Falls ? :-) Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I don't know what is happening in Niagara Falls the second nite of your stay... but it's something you're going to have to figure out how to work around.What is your maximum bid for these two nites in Niagara Falls?

kevertje Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 sorry but you've mixed up my topic...I'm not looking for Toronto now, but for Niagara Falls 2 nights :) Link to comment
kevertje Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 First tried bidding for 1 night 10/03 - 10/04 with my own creditcard up to 72. No luck (60-66-72)THan I Used my wife her creditcard and started with 75.Won the Niagara Falls Marriot Fallsview.I wonder what room we get but at least we have a nice room for 1 night. 2nd night, we will see.thanks, and YES, used the savingsbarn link Link to comment
Scorr Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Its the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend thats comming up through Friday Oct 6 to Monday Oct 9, thats probably why the second night is Jacked up so high. Perhaps theres a lot of people comming for the long weekend from the US, so hotels in the area charge more than they typically do. Link to comment
kevertje Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 thanks for the explanation... interesting that it start so early ...interesting as well that 3/10 - 4/10 in Toronto was expensive but in Niagara Falls it's not too bad yet.anyway, we will see where we will stay the 2nd night...
