vpi_events Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 Tried multiple low offers yesterday in multiple zones with different star ratings to get a feel. Today, after careful researching, I figured the price floor was at least $80 for that time of year to bid on this calibre a hotel right this moment. I went in at $78, rebid by adding combinations of outlying zones, $82, $84, $85 and finally won at $86. I think this is pretty much right on the money!The Westin Bayshore, VancouverVancouver, BC (Downtown)1601, Bayshore DriveVancouver, BC V6G 2V4604-682-3377 Check-In: Friday, June 26, 2009-04:00 PM Check-Out: Monday, June 29, 2009-12:00 PM Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $86.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 3 Room Subtotal: $258.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $51.77 (USD) Total Room Cost: $309.77 (USD) Credit card was pre-authorized for $397.88 (CDN) - may changeCOMPARE AGAINST:Hotel Website with 15% discount, non refundable - $859.77 (CDN) - save $461.89 or 53.7%Expedia with cancellation privileges (penalty) - $947.67 (CDN) - save $549.79 or 58.0%Hotel Website with full cancellaton (no penalty until day before) - $1219.74 (CDN) - save $821.26 or 67.3%Thanks for the tips guys!
