lisa123 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 We are planning a trip to Vancouver Sept 20-23, 2012. We would like to stay Downtown.I have checked Hotwire a couple of times and played with Priceline just to see what things were looking like.How far in advance should I really get serious? Is it too soon?Thanks. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 The PRICELINE FAQ discusses purchase timing in greater detail. It's certainly not too far off to start looking at the discount services if you are willing to accept a non-refundable purchase.What would be your desired budget per night? Additionally, if you have made any bids on PRICELINE, what bids have you made so far (zone/star rating/bid)Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

AaronJB Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Can you confirm the exact zone for the above HOTWIRE listing? I don't think it's too early for this time period - this may just be a busy specific weekend/period.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

lisa123 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 This was the Downtown vancouver West zone. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 My guess is that this may be a new amenity set for the Sheraton, Coast Coal Harbour or Hyatt. Unfortunately, a tripadvisor rating is not showing for this listing, which may have helped narrow down the possibilities.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

AaronJB Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but my guess would be that this may be a new amenity set for the Metropolitan.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
