kat347 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Hi, I'm new to this board and I'm currently trying to book a 4* downtown Ottawa hotel for July 11, 2011. From doing a bit of research I've found that the only 2 4* in ottawa are the Mariott and the Westin. I really want to get the Westin and I'm willing to bid higher to get it but it seems like everyone lately has won the Mariott. Does anyone know if it's possible to bid a certain amount in order to increase my chances of winning the Westin? Thanks very much!
AaronJB Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Welcome to Betterbidding. :)There is no way to ensure a particular property when bidding on PRICELINE. If you bid more, you could wind up overbidding for the property you could have gotten had you bid less. What would be your desired budget per night, and are you only interested in the Westin?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
kat347 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 Hi - thanks for the reply. I know there's no way to ensure that I get a specific hotel, but I was hoping that it may increase the odds. I would much prefer the westin but I would still go to the Mariott. We were looking to spend around $100.
thereuare Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 At the 4* level you have THREE re-bid zones. 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* Downtown...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

kat347 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 Hi, I was hoping that someone could help me identify this hotel in downtown Ottawa:3.5* listed at $105/night for June 11th-12th.Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby And it is recommended in 70% of customer reviews.Thanks in advance!
AaronJB Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 This property has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but my guess would be possibly Delta City Center.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
