Priceline Hotel: 2* Cape Breton Island Silver Dart Lodge(??)

[mikeyjc]

I tried to book a room on Priceline on Cape Breton Island (best guess: Silver Dart Lodge in Baddeck; this property showed up as a Retail Priceline property recently).

But, I decided to give up and just book a room at a B&B in Baddeck since I could snag one with a private bath in a great location (across the street from Bras D'Or Lake) for $95 (no tax) CDN. I wanted to stay near Baddeck since we plan to attend the Cape Breton Fiddle Festival @ Gaelic College on 8/15 (10-15 minutes away from Baddeck, so I've heard).

History (all bids in USD):

5/27/09: bid $52 for a 2* in "Victoria" (zone covers Baddeck on the Priceline map): declined; added "Cape Breton" (zone covers Sydney on the Priceline map) as a free rebid (no 2* for Sydney) and bid $55 - also declined.

5/28/09: bid $57 for a 2* in Victoria: declined; added Sydney and rebid $59 - also declined.

6/01/09: bid $60 for a 2* in Victoria: declined; added Sydney and rebid $62 - also declined.

6/02/09: bid $63 for a 2* in Victoria: declined; added Sydney and rebid $65 - also declined.

6/03/09: bid $66 for a 2* in Victoria: declined; added Sydney and rebid $68 - also declined.

6/04/09: bid $69 for a 2* in Victoria: declined; added Sydney and rebid $71 - also declined.

6/06/09: bid $72 for a 2* in Victoria: declined; added Sydney and rebid $74 - also declined.

I know we normally share "wins" with the board, so I don't know if anyone will find this helpful ... ?

I've stayed at a few placed in Baddeck. I think the BB will be fine when compared to the Dart. .... Sydney is too far from Baddeck for me ... so it is best you didn't win. Baddeck is a fine place ... slow paced and relaxed.

Thanks for the post... rejected bids are helpful as well, thanks for sharing.

Glad you found something which will work well for your plans.
