thereuare Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!You can't target a specific property on Priceline, you're subject to receiving any hotel in the zone at the minimum star rating you've selected.If you'd like to target a specific property HOTWIRE is often a better solution as you can often identify the hotel you will likely receive before your purchase by matching the star rating and amenities and other cluues given. However, HOTWIRE is usually a little bit more expensive than priceline (although both usually offer savings vs. traditional booking channels)What is more important to you, trying for one of the hotels above or price?

thereuare Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 At the 4* level you have 4 re-bid zones available. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Downtown...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $75, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previoulsy.Select 4* Downtown and re-bid zone4...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone2...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone3...Bid $95Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

cowpeer Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Hi, Could you please help me identify these two hotels for 04/22/2008 - 04/26/2008 in DOwntown MOntreal.The 4* has a fitness center, pool, restaurant, business center and high speed internet for $79 saving 53%The 3* has smoke free rooms, kitchenette and high speed internet for $59.Thanks
yellowdog Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 cowpeer,4* The amenities match both the Hyatt Regency and Inter-Continental Montreal3* I can't get a clean match for this. But a guess for this would be the Residence Inn by Marriott Westmount or the Clarion Hotel Suites Downtown. I'm a bit unsure about the smoking for the Clarion. But I do belive it's smoke free. I looked at the Clarion site but there is no info regarding this. But Expedia only show smoke free rooms for this hotel.Maybe someone got a better guess/info for the 3*.If you decide to go for any of the hotels so please use this HOTWIRE linkHenrik.
thereuare Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 For the 4*, of the two suggested above, i think the Hyatt is more likely.For the 3*, i'll point out the 2.5* user-review rating, which implies it's something you probably would be best to stay away from. :)Please use this HOTWIRE link to beegin any purchases you make.Let us know what you decide or if we can be of further help.
