yellowdog Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Congratulations to the anniversary!If you're trying to target a specific property then HOTWIRE can often be a better option if you're successfully able to identify it based upon the star rating and amenities shown before your purchase... the trade-off is that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE, so you need to decide what is most important to you for a given stay, the lowest possible price OR the ability to take an educated guess as to the property you may receive.Most of the times can you undercut the PRICELINE EXPRESS deals with the bidding service.Let us know how we can helkp you further with your stay.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.Yellowdog.

blkjck1 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'd say the 4* hotel on HOTWIRE is likely the Hyatt on Centre Street. The spa amenity is a dead giveaway. I booked this hotel a couple of years ago for a staycation, and was not unhappy with the hotel. Proud to be Canadian! Link to comment
nuxsmaniac Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I booked directly w Fairmont palliser for $109 / note back in Aug. Elected for gold upgrade to pay extra $90 and sent a email to Fairmont. Ended up getting a complementary upgrade. It was a wonderful experience as breakfast n evening snack included. Loved their lelabo rose 31 toiletries... Link to comment
