travisl Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I've got several weeks to keep trying, so I'm going slowly trying to get The Inn at Westminster Quay. I started at $34, selecting the Coquitlam - Burnaby region, 3*. Declined. I added the North Vancouver free rebid area, increased to $38. Declined.I added the Langley free rebid area, increased to $42. Declined.I dropped down to the free 2.5* level, increased to $43. Declined.It looks like someone else got it for $45 a few weeks ago, so I'll try again in 24 hours, bumping the price a buck each time. Link to comment
WillTravel Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Good luck with your bid, but please keep in mind that you may get some other hotel than Inn at Westminster Quay. Just because there is only one 3* reported does not mean you will get that hotel for your bid. Would you be okay with any 3* or higher hotel in the Coquitlam-Burnaby zone? Link to comment
travisl Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Good point, and yeah, I'm really trying for anywhere outside of downtown (and its $15-$20 parking fees). I figure I'll either get The Inn at Westminster Quay, or I'll have a new hotel to add to this site's list. Either way, I'm happy. :) Link to comment

travisl Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 No luck yet. Started today with Coquitlam-Burnaby, 3*, $43. Declined.Added North Vancouver at $44. Declined.Added Langley at $45. Declined.Dropped down to 2.5* at $46. Declined.going to keep trying later this week.I'm avoiding the airport area for now, as my event's taking place in Burnaby. But I think if I get to $50 and still get declined, I'll consider looking over there. It looks like some folks have recently gotten the airport Holiday Inn in the low $40 range. Link to comment

travisl Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Got one, great price, although not the Quay. (Moderator: can you change the title of this thread to 3* Vancouver Holiday Inn Airport $43)Started at Airport 4* $43. Failed.Added Coquitlam-Burnaby, North Vancouver, and Langley 3.5* at $43. Failed.Dropped down to 3* at $43. Got Holiday Inn Airport. I'll take the savings versus the $50+ Burnaby range in exchange for a bit longer drive. Thanks, thereuare, for the helpful site!
