blkjck1 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 Saw that there was a match on Hotwire for this hotel at $86, noting that they rated this as a 3.5* establishment. Spent a few days doing singular bids for a 3* in the YWG zone from $70-75 with no luck (and no rebid zones), assuming that Priceline graded it as a 3* hotel. Did some more digging, and found that PL rated this as a 2.5* hotel, so I restarted the bidding at $73 and lowered my star level, and was hit right away.Fairfield Inn & Suites Winnipeg Airport1301 Ellice Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3G 0G1 Check-In: Mon, Jul 9, 2012 Check-Out: Tue, Jul 10, 2012 Nights: 1Room Subtotal: US$73.00Taxes & Fees: US$20.33Total Charged to Card: US$93.33The lowest price available on the hotel's own website was $144/night, all in around $168.00 in Canadian dollars (and assuming parity between the loonie and the greenback).
