Priceline Hotel: 4* Vancouver (Downtown) Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel

[carbo]

Dates of January 08, 2014 to January 14, 2014 in Vancouver, BC, CANADA. Started bidding for Downtown or Granville location 4* hotel at $60/night and increased by $3 increments using multiple re-bid zones. Bid accepted today December 01, 2013.

Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Hotel (1128 West Hastings Street V6E 4R5)(3.7* google rating)

1 room / 6 nights

Offer Price: US$75.00

Room Subtotal: US$450.00 Taxes & Fees: US$87.00 Total Charged to Card: US$537.00

The rack rate from Mariott.com shows the same nights for a cost of CAD $179.00/night Total Cost CAD $1,204.61. Savings are $635.44 which equals almost 53% savings off rack rate. Mind you, I would never pay rack rate for these hotels. My true alternative was a Hotwire 4* hotel listed at CAD $86/night for a total cost of CAD $631.93, which was likely going to be Delta Suites Vancouver (4.1* google rating). So Priceline saved me 10% for my hotel stay, although for a slightly lower user rated hotel. Not too shabby at all.

And of course, I used betterbidding.com's PRICELINE link to start my bidding purchase.

Best Regards,

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you received a great deal at this property. That is one of the great things about PRICELINE / HOTWIRE... we get to stay at nicer hotels than we would ordinarily be willing to pay for (or stay at the same nicer properties for less). :)

Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
