maxfactor Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 HiI'm looking for a 4* hotel in Ottawa proper for 2 nights - 28th & 29th May. I am not looking for anything lower than 4* and I do not want a hotel in any other zone (Hull, Ottawa West etc). There is no budget constraint. What should be my bidding strategy for priceline? Which Ottawa hotels are 4* on priceline? Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!You can see the hotels previously reported in this zone in the Priceline Hotel List.There is no budget constraint...But you obviously wouldn't want to bid higher than the best deal you could get thru conventional means... what is your best deal for the above stay, we can then suggest a strategyto follow in an attempt to beat that deal.Let us know the above and we'll take it from there.

maxfactor Posted March 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Thanks for the list. The corporate rate for 4* hotels in Ottawa quoted by my travel agent is Sheraton - 155.00/nightMarriott - 158.00/nightWestin - 205.00/nightSo i'm looking to pay less than that. Based on the other Ottawa deals I have read about on this forum, $70 - $75 should be a good range to work with.Thanks for your help. Link to comment
