Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Ottawa-Hull (Ottawa) Courtyard Ottawa

[Mikee]

Some help required if possible please.....

1 night (sunday) May 14th in Downtown Ottawa required and can't work out what this 3* might be:

$61 per night

Ammenities = Restaurant/Fitness/Pool/Business/Tennis nearby/Golf nearby

Any ideas....?

Actually would prefer the Westin (close to the National Arts Centre where I'm going) which I believe is 4* but all they are showing is a 4* Boutique which I'm sure is The Arc.

Best guess is that either:

1) Radisson Parliament

2) Crowne Plaza downgraded to a 3* (previously reported with these amenities but at the 3.5* level)

Let us know what you decide to do or if we can be of further help.

Ok thanks...neither hotels have particularly good reviews (for $70USD maybe I shouldn't expect much!) but I'm going to hold out for the Westin. Will report back......

My first time bidding on Priceline last night - started bidding at $45 for 3* in Downtown Ottawa but was rejected. Added 2 additional areas and increased bid to $50 but still rejected. Then added 2.5* and increased to $54 and won:

2.5* Courtyard By Marriott

Your Offer Price: $54.00 (US dollars)

Number of Rooms: 1

Number of Nights: 3

Subtotal: $162.00 (US dollars)

Taxes & Service Fees: $34.42 (US dollars)

Total Charges: $196.42 (US dollars)

Marriot website is currently charging $501 total for the same nights (saving me $305!). Normal cost through Priceline is $438.

Having checked-out the reviews on here for this hotel, I'm pretty pleased with the hotel and price. Good location, free wifi and only $10 in-out parking per day. Would have loved the Westin but cheapest I could get was $190/night travel industry rate.

This site has saved me loads of $$$ - will spread the word!
