  1. Hello again,

    My passport arrived early. Here my thoughts on the bidding strategy:

    - Start with 5 star and move down with each bid in each area until I reach the lowest star rating wanted for that area.

    1) Downtown

    2) Granville

    3) City Hall (Downtown South)

    4) Richmond

    5) Burnaby

    If anyone has any other advice, it would be appreciated. If this looks good, I'll give a shot.

    Thanks again,

    Ron

  2. Thanks for your reply,

    Prior to posting, I had read the article relating to the best time to book. I was hoping that someone would have experience with Vancouver, BC during this time of year. I also have to wait for a couple of weeks until my passport is issued.

    I also know that there is no guarantee on the hotel when bidding, as each of the three sales have different inventory, that may or may not overlap. I have noticed though, Express deals and NYOP can be narrowed down to a small selection in most cases, so we have a general idea what we may get.

    I would be willing to go with 1 with some areas (downtown zones) and 2+ in the outer areas.

    Thanks again,

    Ron

  3. Hello everyone,

    I'm new to Priceline and planning a trip to Vancouver, BC from 5/31/2013 to 6/7/2013. I'm looking for:

    First choice: Downtown or Granville

    Second: Airport or Burnaby

    with free parking and Internet -- kitchenette optional (I wouldn't mind cooking)

    I'm not too concerned with the star rating, as long as the hotel is clean and bedbug free. It appears that hostels and B&B aren't included on the bid side, as Priceline guarantees private bathrooms.

    I'm really liking Robson Suites, it's strange that they're only rated as a 1. It also appears that they aren't listed as a express deal. Accent Inn (Airport) also doesn't look bad, especially if I could request a kitchenette room. It appears that this may be the hotel listed for $59 on express deals (or $54 on Expedia).

    With this time of year, would it be better to bid early or last minute? What would be the best bidding strategy in this case, since the one hotel I do like is listed as a 1?

    Thanks again,

    Ron
