Priceline Hotel: 4* Ottawa-Hull (Ottawa) Westin

[Schultz64]

Any advice for bidding on a 4* room in Ottawa - one night, Saturday Dec. 1st, downtown?

It has been a while since Ottawa has shown up on the successful bid list... thanks in advance

We wouldn't want to suggest a strategy higher than you were willing to bid... what is your maximum bid for this stay?

[Schultz64]

Sorry - I'd say $115

At the 4* level you have three re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

Select 4* Ottawa...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $70, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Ottawa and re-bid zone2...

Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $80, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Ottawa and re-bid zone3...

Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $90, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously.

Select 4* Ottawa and re-bid zone2 and re-bid zone3...

Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $100.

I'd start with the aobve, which i suspect should likely be enough.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks Thereuare for your bidding strategy! (See previous posting)

I followed it as directed and was successful at $85 with the Westin.

I was given the option to 'add a night', and was successful with my bid for the Friday night as well.
