friendly45 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 Hi folks,I never go to Vancouver and wish to know where is the best area to stay.I guess the best biding zones are Downtown and/or Granville Entertainment. Am I right? In fact where is exactly the best area to stay during 3 days next Summer? (I'm looking for a 4 stars accommodation).BTW, I made a first search on HOTWIRE using your link of course: Too expensive ($168). PRICELINE should be a better way.
thereuare Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 What is the purpose of this stay and which would put you closer to the things you want to do?What are the dates of your stay and expected budget?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

friendly45 Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks for your reply.It will be a leisure trip from 08-23 to 08-26. I won't have a car and want to stay close to an interesting, living and secure area, with convenient public transportations.My budget is around 100 CAD/night or less.
thereuare Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 I guess the best biding zones are Downtown and/or Granville Entertainment. Am I right? In fact where is exactly the best area to stay during 3 days next Summer?Unfortunately it's been about 10 years since i've been to Vancouver (and i believe there was only one downtown zone at the time) so i hard for me to comment on which of these two zones would be best... hopefully another user can offer some advice or you can do a little research on your own as to which would be better for your needs this trip (or perhaps both would be fine)Once you have determined your zones let us know and we'll be able to suggest a strategy for you to follow.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

claudinekayak Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 I would definitely stay downtown. public transportation in Vancouver is very good so from downtown you can go anywhere very easily.
friendly45 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks you for your reply.I believe both Downtown and Granville Entertainment areas are fine.
PrisonBull Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 Only 3* hotels in the City Hall area but they are inexpensive. Transportation is easy and close. The area is also quite safe. Stay away from anywhere East of Gastown at night. :)

friendly45 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Posted May 15, 2011 Hi folks,I finally got today the Sheraton Wall Center for $104 (23-26 august). I'm very happy.I bet by increment of one dollar, using the free rebid zone tip. I failed with 103 and lower, and won with 104 USD.My SPG account shows the rate for that hotel is 100.00 CAD.I began my purchase with your PRICELINE link.Thank you again for your help.
