You're probably looking at about $225-$250... more likely on the higher end, but when bidding more than one zone and multiple re-bid zones available we can suggest a strategy that starts low and then reaches you're maximum budget.

 

If HOTWIRE is an option as well i'm also seeing:

On the low end:

3.5* HOTWIRE Downtown - Shopping, Dining, & Entertainment for $216.00
Free Internet
Pet Friendly
Smoke Free
Fitness
Restaurant
Business
Room Accessible
Bathroom Accessible
==> Century Plaza Hotel And Spa

 

On the higher end:

4* HOTWIRE Downtown - Coal Harbour, Convention Center, & Stanley Park for $235.00
Free Internet
Pet Friendly
Boutique
Smoke Free
Fitness
Pool
Restaurant
Business
==> Coast Coal Harbour Hotel

 

Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

 

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there.

Not sure if that is going to be enough given rates, but you can certainly try using the strategy below.

Also, a reminder that we have set up a form for the quickest/easiest way to access the PRICELINE BIDDING PAGE now that priceline continues to move/hide the bidding form.

 

Using both Downtown zones i would try as follows:

Select 4* Downtown Coal Harbor
Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $160, if rejected add re-bid zone...

I went up to $200 with no luck for 4 stars.  I switched to bidding on 3.5 stars.  I used all the combinations for 3.5 up to $200. I did start getting the bid again immediately page for $245 for both the 3.5 stars and 4 stars.  What is plan B?  I am thinking about getting a hotel where I can cancel.

That is a good plan, so you can hope for lower rates in the weeks ahead (but also protected from rates only going higher from here).  You can use one of our sister sites, RefundableRates.com, which will allow you to easy compare rates that have flexible cancellation policies, the majority are fully refundable up to 3 days before arrival. (use the star rating filter and/or sort by PRICE in order to see the best options... or you can zoom in on the map to the specific area you want to be near)

 

I know you're experiencing some 'sticker shock' this trip, but keep in mind the areas you're traveling to have the majority of their months very cold (or little sunshine)... so the rates do spike for most of peak season.

 

Keep us updated on your progress and what you decide or how we can be of further help.
