    Did you ask for 3 or 4 stars? Others have said they got the Delta Chelsea for around $50 when entering 3 stars...

    All those hotels are very nice... but these bastids jack up the price 4x during the Toronto Film Festival, and that's why I've never been able to stay there during the festival. :cry:

    I don't know if I'll go to the Toronto show, pearljim's wife may not go, so...

    Do you know if the Westin is convenient to the subway/street car public transportation?

    Thanks!

    Everytime I got a room through priceline, the desk attendant always asked me what bed setup I would like upon check in.

    Got the same hotel same rate yesterday...searching for 4 star.

    FYI this is a pretty good forum where people post what they got on Priceline. Gives you a great idea on what you should be bidding...

    the 509 streetcar goes right to the amphitheatre/ontario place and it's basically right at your door

    Great. Thanks for your input. It sounds like this would be a convenient place to stay.

    np ... it depends on what you want to do in the city ... it's located at the ferry docks - so, you can head over to the islands and chill out there ... most of the shops/theatre district and stuff is about a 30 miin walk because of the highway being between you and the main part of the city ...

    doh! jumped the gun and messed up my priceline bid. $70 for the Sheraton, probably coulda got $60.

    I think if you do $55 or $60 you'll get a good one for sure (as the OP did).

    There's 12 zones and only 3 have 4 star, so you should be able to lowball and get free rebids if you expand your zones to include the original (zone 3) and other non-4-star zones.

    To those who have booked the Westin Harbour Castle for $55...did you bid for a four star in the downtown zone for $55?

    Thanks!
