Priceline Hotel: Failed Bids - New Years - Toronto

[Blujaay]

Following an earlier post of thesqueegekid, I bid for a 3* property downtown:

3* - DT - $75

Add Scarborough - $80

Add Brampton - $85

New bid:

3* - DT and East - $90

Add Scarborough - $93

Add Brampton - $95

All Failed.

I should let you know that I am bidding for 4 rooms, so that may make a difference.

I saw that a 4* was won for $108, so I am guessing something should come up for under $100 for a 3*.

Take care guys.

too bad you need downtown, I won New Years at the 3* airport Renaissance for $36 for a friend.

Good luck on this bid...

These hotels are all for friends who plan to be partying downtown on New Years, so I don't think they'll be in any position to go anywhere else... :)

But if someone just wants to spend a night out on New Years, I will recommend the Renaissance in a second for $36. Thanks.

As I back up, I have booked through www.lastminutetravel.com.

They were offering the Novotel Downtown for $99 US per night (with taxes $111.40). I booked 3 rooms at this rate. They allow me to cancel the reservation 72 hours prior to check-in without any penalty.

I was wondering if beterbidding has a referral link we could use for this site.

What a difference a day makes. Toronto hotels for Dec 31 are upwards of $124 on Hotwire. For Jan 01, the rates plunge to upwards of $64. Tell your friends to party well into the wee hours of the morning and then check in early on Jan 01. :)

I started to bid again. I am bidding for one room this time just to get an idea of what is available. At $90, they offered me to raise it $22 for another chance. I haven't gone ahead and bid again but this is telling me that something should be accepted in the $100 range.
