thanks but that price of 70 plus fees taxes seems high. especially for a
lock up no cancel room. personally never paid that much on priceline.

Right, I understand. I began at $50 and worked up from there. Taxes added
about $10, I think. Like I said, I got the Hyatt downtown, which seem to be
in the $200 plus category, so I consider it an excellent bargain.

I'm not pushing Priceline, just relating my recent experience in Vancouver
looking for a 4 - 5 start hotel.

You got a great property. It is certainly helpful for you to post this for
others. I also recommend Priceline for Vancouver lodging- I haven't heard of
any bad wins there and sometimes significant savings.

So it turns out that I have the Hyatt for our first night before the cruise.
My mom and sister are also joining us - or us them - so they both have rooms
to. My kids have a room. That's 4 rooms the first night. Then on to Alaska
for a week. My mom and sis wanted to stay in Van the night after the cruise
so I got them rooms, but we were going to go to Vancouver Island for a
night. Now I find out that it is a day trip each way, and with a car it is
more money than I wanted to spend. So, back to Priceline for a room, and low
and behold no 4 star for $70.00 anymore. Damn! Did someone here grab the
last one??? ;-( Now what? The rest of the family will be at the Hyatt while
we wander the streets. Hmm...

Not sure when you're going, but it's way too early to get best prices
through Priceline. I would wait till about 3 weeks before the trip
and bid (a lot less) then.

got the hyatt at 65 plus fees . more than wanted to pay of course.. the
human element worked against me like was tired and sick of the
priceline game, plus time grinding on me.
