Welcome to BetterBidding!

If you haven't yet, please start by reading your messages.

I noticed that the only priceline hotel is Lake Louise Inn.
How did you determine this? If using the Priceline Hotel Lists on the board be sure to the read the comments at the top of the hotel list, as the hotel lists only contain hotels reported to the board and there could be others in the zone that were recently added, not yet reported, and/or upgraded/downgraded from the last time it was reported.

If you're using the 'retail' side of PRICELINE to determine the above you can't do this either as the 'bidding' and 'retail' side of PRICELINE each use a different universe of hotels. While there is a lot of overlap between the two sides of their service, there are some hotels which participate in one side of their service and not the other, and vice-versa. For more on this subject see the related 'Using The Retail Side of Priceline to Determine What You Will Get When Bidding' in our PRICELINE FAQ.

Given the above, you can't bid on, nor target, a specific hotel when using PRICELINE, you have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you choose. With HOTWIRE you can often take an educated guess as to what is being offered based upon the amenities associated with the property, but it's still a 'best guess' and no guarantees you will receive the hotel you're hoping for. As well, HOTWIRE only shows one hotel at each star level per zone, so there is a chance the hotel you're hoping for isn't the one which is offered for your particular dates.

With this additional information, do you still want to move forward and bid on a 3* hotel in this zone? If so, let us know your maximum bid for this stay so we don't suggest a strategy that goes higher then you're willing to pay, and we'll advise accordingly.

Unfortunately there are no re-bid zones available when bidding 3* in the Banff region (in which the Lake Louise zone is located).

My guess is that $70 will come up short as it is well under 50% of current 'regular' rates which has a low probability of success.

If you want to give it a try, i would bid $60, if rejected wait 24 hour and try $65, if that is rejected wait 24 hours and try $70. Please use the PRICELINE links on the board each time you bid (and not the links in any emails PRICELINE may send letting you know that you're able to bid again)

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck! Keep us updated on your progress and let us know how it goes.
