We are traveling to Vancouver for the first time. I am very happy with my win and would like to share it with you.

 

I was looking for 2 nights hotel and was shocked at the nightly rates at the decent properties when booked directly. I naturally started exploring the opaque sites and this site has come through once again for us in doing the research.

 

I started with Priceline and kept adding areas and increasing my bids, but had to abort when the price started going outside my budget, On Hotwire, I saw a 5* property for 2 nights at  $135 per night and I got pretty excited about it. When I figured out on here that it is the Sutton, that hotel somehow did not appeal to me much. I really liked the Coal Harbour area, but could not justify blowing $200 in one night on it.

 

Meanwhile I booked the Airport Westin on 2 separate reservations  - one for 2 nights and the other for 1. I submitted BRG claims on both, and they both got approved separately - 2 nights rate to CAD 141 and the 1 night to 130. I decided to keep the 1 night reservation along with the 2,000 SPG points.

 

Renewed my search on the opaques sites for the remaining night and came out empty handed once again on Priceline but found this incredible deal on Hotwire. I am not sure if it truly is incredible- but looking at the current rates, it seems like one to me. I sure am going to try and get them to give me an upgrade with my SPG status :)

 

I have a question for you gurus:

I see that the list of amenities says kitchenette - does that mean that my room will have one, or that there might be "some" rooms in this property with Kitchenettes?

If kitchenette is provided as an amenity, all rooms should offer one.

Note that a refrigerator and microwave are sufficient for a hotel to show the Kitchenette amenity... a 'full' stovetop is not necessarily required.

Please check our Support Page for your hotel direct purchases as we have links there to most of the major hotel chains and online booking agencies, including the Westin.

Enjoy your upcoming stay(s).
