Hotwire Hotel: 4* Vancouver (Downtown - Canada Place - Convention Center - Coal Harbour) Metropolitan Hotel

After banging my head on bidding Priceline for any kind of a resemblence of a deal on a hotel in Vancouver for a two night stay in less than two weeks I gave into Hotwire at $174 for the Metropolitan.

 

There must be something big going on that weekend in Vancouver because the weekend after its much less expensive but my dates are not flexible as they are for a pre cruise stay.

 

I bid up to $165 4* in both the downtown zones to no avail and really preferred the metropolitan over the Delta Suites so  I pulled the trigger on this.

 

It appears that Delta Suites were at $163 yesterday and jumped to $192 it matches in the amenities list and the "last person booked got____"

 

How accurate is the "last person booked " clue they sometimes give you?   It was there for my purchase today on this property  as well.

 

I wondered if I had waited if I might be able to get a better price but all I saw was prices increasing and inventory dissappearing.  Many properties had no availability. 

 

I saw the what appeared toi be the hotwire 5* priceline 4.5 star Sutton place for $166 last week and then that disappeared.    While that would have been a fine property I really wanted the coal harbor downtown zone this stay. 

So not wanting to get shut out I think I just spent more per night for this hotel than I have ant any other in my priceline/ hotwire experiences.

 

This was the ammenities list that was present for my purchase.  It differs from any you have listed so you may want to update.

 

free internet, pet friendly, Boutique Hotel, indoor pool(s), fitness center, pool(s), Restaurant(s), business center

Thank you for sharing your result with the board.

How accurate is the "last person booked " clue they sometimes give you?

The "last person got ..." message shown by HOTWIRE is in reference to the last person who won a hotel in that zone at that star rating... it doesn't apply to the amenity set of the current offer nor does it say anything about the current hotel offered.

This was the ammenities list that was present for my purchase.

I believe there were likely more amenities then what you have posted above as HOT.WIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.

For future searches/bookings you can do the following to ensure you're seeing the complete list:

1) use the EASY VIEW tab of our Bidding.Helper and click the green 'See All Amenities' button

OR

2) search HOT.WIRE (or use the HOT.WIRE tab at Bidding.Helper) and...

· click the offer

· on the next page click the BOOK NOW link

· in the TRIP SUMMARY box click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenities

Enjoy your stay.

"I believe there were likely more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links."

To me this still looks like a unique presentation of the amenities for this property that I thought would be usefull for the board.

 

I printed the amenities before I purchased, after clicking on the listing not from the page with all the offerings of different hotels, which I know is an incomplete listing.   This is a different ammenities set than has been listed in particular the two  pool listings  may be a clue if it shows up again.  They were showing indoor pool and a pools listing.   This property only has an indoor pool.

 

If there is another place I should be looking for amenitieds when posting a hotwire win please let me know so I do it correctly next time

I believe this is a new amenity set for this property and we have updated the Hotwire Hotel List accordingly, but i also think there are more amenities than just those above.

You need to use either of the methods discussed above:

1) use the EASY VIEW tab of our BiddingHelper.com and click the green 'See All Amenities' button

OR

2) search HOTWIRE (or use the HOTWIRE tab at BiddingHelper.com) and...

  • click the offer
  • on the next page click the BOOK NOW link
  • in the TRIP SUMMARY box click the 'See more' link at the end of the amenities
If you follow either of the above, and we make the assumption that the property you bought is the same 4* hotel that is currently being offered in this zone at the same price of $174/nite, then you'll likely see the following amenities:

Free Internet

Pet Friendly

Boutique

Indoor Pool

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Blind Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

(and this is what we have added to the Hotwire Hotel List with a 'may be' designation)

Let us know if you're unable to see the above or have any additional questions.

Thanks again for the follow-up.
