Priceline Hotel: Tips for 1 Night Niagra Falls and 1 Night Toronto

[Kozak]

Hello all,

I am new to this hotel bidding strategy. I recently got a good deal in Boston, MA for $110 at International Continental through Priceline.com

I am looking for a room for one night in Niagra Falls (4 stars) and then one night in Toronto (4 stars). 9/18-9/20

Tips regarding which website (priceline or hotwire) and strategies are appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your previous win.

We'll use this thread for your Niagara Falls stay on 9/18... please start a NEW TOPIC for your 9/19 Toronto stay.

For Niagara Falls, i assum your'e looking to stay on the Canadian side? What is your maximum budget?

Basically the decision to use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE comes down to what is most important to you... PRICELINE is usualy a little cheaper than HOTWIRE, but HOTWIRE gives you the ability to take an educated guess as to the hotel you may likely receive based upon the amenities shown before your purchase. As well, each uses different zone boundaries which can affect which service you decide to use (ie- for Toronto HOTWIRE uses splits downtonw into east and west zones, making the potential location of your hotel smaller, whereas PRICELINE uses one larger "Downtown" zone)

I might be changing the trip to Washington, D.C. as the return trip from Toronto to NYC does not fit my schedule. I have posted a topic in that forum.
