Priceline Hotel: 4* Vancouver (Downtown) Hyatt Regency

[klos]

Hyatt Regency in Downtown Vancouver

3 nights, 2/2/09 thru 2/5/09 at US$65 /night

STarted bid Downtown at $56

- added Downtown/City Hall at 58

- added Port Coquitlam at 62

- added Langley and finally won at $65

Hotel looks nice and good location, but reading some reviews, looks like the extras might kill the price.

Internet access is $15CA / Day and Parking at hotel is $28CA/day, although there are evidently alternate garages in area for a lot less.

Thanks for the website, I think I figured it out now... maybe :)

Nobody likes paying for 'extras' but i hardly think this makes this any less of a deal. Hotel direct rates start at $204C ($165US) for your dates so you're saving over $100US per nite... plenty left over for parking and/or internet, not to mention that those who book direct (at $204C) still pay the same amount for both internet and parking :)

Even if you use the hotel's parking and hotel's internet each day, you're looking at an additional $35(US) which is still under $100/nite for a 4* hotel in Vancouver... can you find a 4* hotel in this area which includes both parking and internet?

Enjoy your stay.

$100US (plus fees & taxes) IS a great deal on a 4* in Downtown YVR, but if you were expecting to pay say.... $65US.... you might be a little disappointed with the deal you thought you were getting. In my case, I had the option to stay in outlying areas where prices & extras are less expensive, but since I hadn't stayed downtown in a long time, I thought it might be nice.

I am happy with my room, but more than anything, I wanted to post the note on the extra cost that I wish I had seen BEFORE committing to a hotel.

Thanks again for the site. It is very helpful.
