Priceline Hotel: 3* Ottawa-Hull (Ottawa) Radisson

[DCVA]

New to this. I was trying to get a room in Ottawa downtown/Hull area for 2 nights. Check in Sep 27, check out Sep 29. I would like to get about 3 stars with about $60 a night. Is this possible? I need to stay in downtown area specificially. I checked hotwire and there's only one 3 star hotel in downtown for about $90+ a night. Thanks in advance for your help and bidding tips.

Previous wins have been less than $60, but based on current prices I think it will take more than $60. You could book a cancellable backup and then see if prices go down. Since there are no free rebids you can only make 1 bid every 24hrs.

I would go ahead and try $60 bid and see what happens. If rejected then you can decide further.

Please let us know what happens

Bid won.

Details:

I have tried keeping the bid at $60 for a 4stars and 3 stars in Ottawa downtown area for the past few days with no success.

Today, i changed the bid to $65 and won.

First bid: 4 stars, $60, Ottawa downtown - not accepted

Second bid: 4 stars & 3 stars, $65, Ottawa downtown - accepted.

Nights: 2

Date: 9/27/06-9/29/06

Stars: 3

City: Ottawa - downtown

Hotel: Radission Hotel Ottawa Parliament

Price: $130 for 2 nights + $27 tax = $157 total or $US 79/ night

I checked the hotel website the current lowest rates is at $CAD 115 + 15% tax = $US 118 /night approx.

I'm new with pricline and i think $27 tax is pretty expensive it's about 20% of your bid price. I wish i could get a lower bid but i think this is still a decent rate.

Thanks for the tip.

Hi

Glad you won your room.

The $27 tax also includes priceline booking fees so it is still high but not all tax
