I've always wanted to try the Cathedral Hill Hotel, it sure looks impressive from the outside. It's the right neighborhood for me as I always get a muni pass and take advantage of muni. The price is excellent, I can't wait to find out why!

This was rather last minute so I only made one bid at 83 (USD) and it was accepted. The HOTWIRE prices seemed to be rising in the last 24 hours so I'm very happy with the hotel and location! I picked 83 because I was trying to keep the two day amount under 200 after taxes and fees, this works out to 199.

I had really hoped to cap it off at around $110, US. I know that's not much in Vancouver for cruise ship season. I have a reservation direct with a 2 star at $99 canadian (plus tax) on Howe Street. I'd prefer to upgrade to a nicer hotel.

You're correct, Vancouver's zone goes a bit further than I'd prefer on Priceline. Next year I'll check the schedule and avoid the NHL draft! I would assume by bidding on Priceline I'd find the lowest prices will be the Stanley Park area and the mainland. Do you have any suggestions for an opening bid? If the price is right I can manage with that expanded area. Thanks.

I've been looking at Hotwire for Vancouver hotels during the 6/15-6/19 window. The prices are high, there is one $83 2.5 * hotel in Downtown Vancouver South, otherwise anything downtown is over $120. My preference is for the entertainment district and to stay under or at least near 100 a night. Any suggestions for a Priceline bidding strategy?
