Priceline Hotel: 4 * Vancouver Sutton Place

[photomikey]

Hi,

Bid Vancouver, BC yesterday, starting at $90, in $10 increments, to $140 with no success. It's probably too early, but I notice other winning bids in this price range from this date range.

I'll wait a week or so, but am curious of your thoughts.

Thanks.

Rates are not high so i would just stick with your current bidding schedule given the amount of time before your stay.

Not sure of the other dates you saw hotels already won in this area, but perhaps they were for weekend dates (which in a Downtown area may get released quicker) than midweek dates (which your stay above is Mon-Wed)

Please remember to the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Keep us updated.

Same bidding strategy. At $140 was asked to increase by $22 for a guaranteed win, I declined, and started going in $5 increments instead of $10.

Won Sutton Place on my next try, at $145.

Total cost (taxes included) 346.94.

Sutton Place website lists a 2-night price of $470.44, a savings of 26%. HOTWIRE price for (presumably) the same property, $392.78, a 12% savings. Probably not my best priceline win ever, but a decent chunk of change saved.

Congratulations on your win... very nicely done!

Glad to see the counter-offer present itself and motivate you to go a little higher to have this 'win' done and in the books... apparently it didn't take much more :)

Thank you for sharing your win with the rest of us.

Enjoy your stay.

I always forget to mention this, but I did use the PRICELINE link to begin my bidding.

Thanks as always, for the help.
