Hotwire Hotel: 3* Vancounver (Richmond-Airport YVR) Sheraton Airport

[andrew_glasgow]

Looking to book with priceline for one night at Vancouver Airport. Cheapest I can find on hotwire is $89 including all fees and taxes so looking to spend about $70 on a room including fees and taxes if possible, does this mean I should bid up to approx $58? What is the likelihood of securing a decent room for this price? Not too bothered about star quality, perhaps 3* and up because it's only for 1 night (I presume I'll be given a room in Richmond though if successful).

Thanks

A $54 bid in the Vancouver Airport zone would come to about $70 all-in, is this what you want to use for your maximum bid for a 3* hotel?

What is the room rate (before fees and taxes) and star rating of the HOTWIRE property you're refering to?

The room rate on hotwire of the 2.5* hotel I'm referring to is $74 before taxes and fees, am I aiming too low then with my $54?

I would actually accept a 2.5* hotel as it is only for one night so I'm not too bothered (wouldn't be checking in till late on and getting up very eary).

Thanks,

Andrew

Sorry, misread the first post in terms of all-in pricing.

When bidding for a 3* hotel in the Airport zone you have TWO re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)

Select 3* Airport.

Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $45, if rejected close browser and use our link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 3* Airport.

Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone2...

Bid $55

With time on your side i would try the above, as it stars low near some previoulsy accepted lowball amounts, and systematically works higher. If the above is rejected we can revise to try again in 24 hours if you want to raise your maximum bid. Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the replies theraure, no luck up to $55 though. For $65 (excluding fees and taxes) the 2.5* hotel is now available on hotwire, bringing it in at $82 in total. This offer shuttle, complimentary breakfast, fitness centre, restaurant and business centre. Any ideas what it could be? There are no review recommendations and nothing from tripadvisor either.

Thanks again,

Andrew

The 2.5* has not yet been reported to the board, but if i were to take a guess the Best Western Abercorn Inn Richmond seems like a good fit and would be among the possibilities.

Thanks for all the help, ended up going through HOTWIRE (your link) and got the Sheraton Vancouver Airport for $79, and including fees this was $99. We're only there for one night but delighted to get such a great place! Average price for this seems to be at least double what we paid! Amenities were:-

Airport Shuttle

Restaurant

Fitness Centre

Pool

Business Centre

Laundry

High-Speed Internet Access

Going by this site I had a feeling that we'd get the sheraton - it was a 3* hotel with 90% positive reviews and 4 out of 5 on tripadvisor

Thanks so much for all the help, that's our trip now fully booked for hotels :-D
