Priceline Hotel: Whistler July 16-18 help

[azepine00]

Tough one: no rebids available

Whistler Fri-Sun July 16-18 (actually I want to split it)

Tried to lowbid resort (most likely westin) $55 for 16th and $60 for 17th - both rejected. Hotwire shows westin around $95 for the 16th.

Will try again tomorrow including resort and 4*. Don't mind going down to 3* but have no idea about the prece range there. I guess that's the way Priceline was supposed to be before certain helpful websites and rebid strategies :)

Any experience in that zone with any ratings?

Also car rental is getting surprisingly expensive from YVR: hotwire is the cheapest at US$55 total for two days. Yikes!

Any help appreciated.

Given the rate i saw for the Westin at $200+ that Hotwire rate doesn't look too bad... i'd think anything less than that would be a 'win'.

Why are you intentionally splitting the dates before bidding the stay as one?

2x PL/ebay -> AA -> HH(maybe) :)

Actually I am not completely set on Whistler: perhaps one night there and one in Victoria or somewhere else outside Vancouver. Westin came up a few times around summer in the past for $60-70. If it doesn't play out I'll step down to 3*.

$45 will probably get you a 2.5* Residence Inn Whistler or Coast Whistler Hotel. According to the vacation packages, 3* is the Summit Lodge, which will probably be more.

Another try: $65 for 7/16 and $70 for 7/17 - another rejection. :)

Residence Inn can be booked for two nights (MR deal) on marriott.com for CAD$99/day if I recall correctly. That's a backup for now.
