Priceline Hotel: Does anyone know what the 1* in Banff Alberta Is?

[Bambie1]

I'm trying to find a place in Banff alberta (not canmore or lake louise) as we are at a wedding and want only a short cab ride home to our hotel room after the festivities. on Aug 19-21st

I've tried bids of $50 for a 3, 2.5 and 2 star hotel... then upped it the next day to $56 again for 3, 2.5 and reduced it to $52 for the *2.

Tomorrow I plan on upping it to $60 as with taxes and fees it is going over $140 for the 2 night which is really the top of our price limit.

However apparently in banff there are a few 1*'s and i'm wondering if anyone has any clue what hotels they are. I dont mind if its a plain but decent place ( like a super 8) but would like to know which hotels i could be getting so i can look them up on the net before bidding.

Thanks for any help.

We have not had any 1* hotels reported to the board in this zone... what are the rates you're finding thru conventional booking channels for 3*, 2.5*, and 2* properties?

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your bidding/purchases.

Rates are anywhere from $100 - $300 per night depending on the star level. It is an expensive place to stay however it looks like others have had luck in the past getting reasonable rates when i searched "Banff " on better bidding I just hope that a bid will be accepted soon.

Hotwire has a 2.5 star at $79 per night and Travelocity has one of their top secret hotels at 90 per night for a *3.

I've rebid to $62 per night without luck on the 3*, 2.5* and 2*.

:)

trying $65 tomorrow.

Summer is peak season for this area. If you look closely at the reported wins, most of the sub-$100 bids have been won for dates in September thru June... July and August are usually $100+.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board for your bidding. (or our Travelocity link should you go that route)

Keep us updated and let us know if we can be of further help.
