Priceline Hotel: 4* Vancouver Westin Grand

[upperbob]

When looking for location for next May, Hotwire has a couple of 3* and one 2.5*. In the Howtwire list there are no hotels mentioned below 3.5* Any clues to what hotels these three might be?

IF your dates of travel are firm let us know the date(s) of your stay and the amenities associated with each of the hotels that you are interested in... we will then try to identify them for you.

The 3* has only Restaurant listed as amenity. The 2.5* has Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center, Laundry Facilities (I think this might be the Howard Johnson). Date of stay is 5/11/07.

These hotels have not yet been identified... the 2.5* could be the HoJo, the 3* could be the Ramada, but no evidence of either this is just speculation, without a high degree of confidence in either.

I'd give this one some time and wait to see if other (higher rated) hotels present themselves.

Had tried two earlier times for 4*, going up to $135 using suggested bidding pattern with no luck. Was disappointed, since I saw other winning bids for 1 & 2 weeks later at that price. Gave it one more try with following bid using "savingsbarn.com" PRICELINE link:

V 120, VS 125

VL 128, VLS 130

VD 132, VDS 135

VLD 138 (Accepted!)

FYI: After winning bid I noticed 4 day room sale on Westin's Web Site (ending today) with rate of $153 (US). This rate is also non-refundable, transferable. So I am very happy with results. Thanks for help.
