mikeyjc Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Followed the lead of others in the Forum ... :) Halifax Marriott Harbourfront 1919 Upper Water Street Halifax, Nova Scotia B3J 3J5 902-421-1700Check-In Date: Tue, Aug 11, 2009 Check-Out Date: Wed, Aug 12, 2009Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$52.00 Subtotal: US$52.00 Taxes & Service Fees: US$15.31 Total Charges: US$67.31 History: Bid $50 for Halifax: rejected, but received a counter-offer of $64 - declined counter, added Dartmouth, increased bid to $52: accepted! Also received an offer to extend our stay at the same rate, but passed since we're heading to Cape Breton the next day.What a great place to start our trip to the Maritimes! Tip: I also saved a ton of $ booking a Hertz rental car here at the Marriott vs. getting one @ the airport (and we can drop off the car at the airport!). Will still come out ahead for an 8-day rental even after factoring in cab fare from the airport to downtown Halifax and no car to pay to park @ the Marriott.I did click thru to PRICELINE from the link in this forum.
AaronJB Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 Congratulations on your success! . Looks like an absolutely beautiful waterfront property, and it gets mostly excellent reviews on Tripadvisor.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using the site's PRICELINE link.Enjoy your stay.
Ted in Halifax Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 The hotel is a fine hotel and very close to most things of interest!Ted
slayguy Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 What sort of rate did you get for the car via the Marriot? I'll be there for 3 days and rented from the airport and dropping off for the airport for $118 taxes in. Just wondering if I can get a better rate if staying at the Marriott. thanks
mikeyjc Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Posted May 28, 2009 Rental cars at the airport during our stay (8/11 - 20) seem horrendously expensive ($75/day + tax?!?!?). NWA offered a discount code for Hertz, and I used the code to get a much better deal picking up a car @ the Marriott vs. @ YHZ. Go to nwa.com and look on the WP Partner Offers page to get the code if interested
slayguy Posted May 28, 2009 Report Posted May 28, 2009 Definitely will look into that. Thanks very much.
