Priceline Hotel: 3* Vancouver (Airport YVR) Best Western Plus Abercorn Inn

[nhojeod]

Hello,

Tried 3.5* at $60 failed

Changed to 3* and won the bid at $54. (After tax was 69.95)

Was hoping for the holiday inn again, but we'll see how this one goes.

Thanks forum =)

I did not have a good experience here and frankly, the prospect of getting this 3* property is preventing me from bidding 3* in Richmond with the hope of getting the Holiday Inn or 4Pts.

Good luck with it though!

Hello forum, back from the trip with a review.

The hotel was... okay. Definitely worse than the holiday inn I stayed at previously.

- Elevator was old and slow, but there are only 3 floors I think. Long corridors though...

- The 'priceline room'(I'm assuming) is next to the elevator. The last time I saw a room this close to the elevator was in hong kong or Japan, literally next to it.

- Surprisingly, noise from the elevator wasn't loud, it was actually people stomping around(very noticeable) and the highway traffic noise(moderately noticeable) that are annoying.

- Furniture, carpet, fixtures, cabinets does feel pretty old.

- Bathroom was large. but was like walking down into a cave (it is 2 steps lower than the bedroom)

- Free breakfast but I did not check it out.

- Upgrade to a room with a king size bed is $20.

Would I stay here again for the same price? Nope.

Would I stay here again for a cheaper price? Maybe if it were around $50 after tax. Anything higher you are better off with a higher class or something in downtown.

Thank you for the follow-up review; sorry to hear that the hotel was a disappointment. :(

Honestly, this hotel is "blocking" me from using PL to bid 3* in Richmond. Loss of business, most definitely...
