Priceline Hotel: 3* Vancouver Renaissance Hotel

[crystaljinse]

Thanks for all the tips provided on this forum! Tried $30, $35, all failed. Add Delta with $38, I got it. Nov 20 to 24.

BTW, can anybody know how to get cheap air ticket from Toronto to Vancouver? Priceline doesn't have flights depart from Toronto. Your help will be very appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I'm a Canadian and I just booked from PriceLine , US$38 per night in Vancouver BC, 4 nights( thanks for all the tips providers!!).

The taxes and service fees are: US$24.79. I know there will be 10% Hotel Tax if I book through a Canadian website or agency. According to the Priceline.com, GST is not included, which should be 7%.

Does anybody know how much the hotel will charge me? Hotel Tax + GST? or just GST? If it's just GST, Is it USD$38 * 7% ?, or will they convert it into Candian Dollar first, like USD$38 * 1.37 * 7%?

Thanks

I've never had a Canadian hotel charge me GST when I booked through Priceline, and I don't think they do.

Thanks, WillTravel. Are you a non-resident of Canada? The reason why I ask is Canadian residents are subject to GST.

I'm a Canadian resident. I am charged GST if I book conventionally, and I'm not charged GST if I book through Priceline.

That's really great! Guess I'm hooked on Priceline now. Thanks WillTravel. Have a wonderful day!
