Pre Cruise Hotel In Vancouver near Pier

[PoohUnderstands]

Does anyone have any good ideas of a place to stay near the pier that won't break the bank, but is still nice?

Try Priceline and get a great hotel. Most places
by the pier are rather pricey. if you go to [url="http://www.betterbidding.com"]www.betterbidding.com[/url] you can check out how to use Priceline and what hotels are offered in Vancouver.

Time for another Cruise!

Yesterday, won a bid of $65 with Priceline for Hyatt Regency Vancouver (near the pier)for Sept. Rooms usually are $200 range for that hotel, and pricey at other hotels in that area. $65 was a great success. Try it!

I got Hyatt Regency for $65.00 also for Sept.2nd in Vancouver, thru Priceline. Now trying for hotel in Anchorage and not having any luck. Even econolodge is $139.00 an night in Anchorage. May have to try 'rent-a-tent!!! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!

I got the Hyatt Regency this weekend on Priceline for $62. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] Our friends that are going with us got the Hyatt Regency this morning for [B]$60[/B] [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif[/img] I told her she owed me a $1 so we'd both be paying the same price. This is for Sept. 4 (sailing Sept 5)

Wow! I just tried Priceline.com for the very first time and booked the Hyatt Regency Vancouver for the night before our 8/22 NCL cruise for only $60.00! It was fun and cheap! Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I dont think you'll be sorry. The HYATT is a nice hotel and VERY close (within walking distance to the pier)The staff could'nt have been more helpful and friendly. We requested 2 double beds, and we got them with no problem.

DCT61 (and/or anyone else with Priceline.com experience) - How do you request something like 2 double beds when you book a room through Priceline.com? Do you need to contact the hotel directly? Is the confirmation number I got from Priceline the same as the hotel reservation number? Thanks in advance from a first-time Priceline user.

The Hyatt did look really nice when we were there, but it was still 4-6 blocks away. Walking distance, yes, but for me I wanted to be right there! We paid mucho bucks for our room at the Fairmont Waterfront but for the price, I got to wake up each morning and open the blinds to watch a cruise ship come in. It also was no sweat to walk down to the pier several times a day and watch what was going on. Still, as nice as the Fairmont was and the service was great (better than the cruiseship actually and that's saying A LOT), I'd still go with the $62 room at the Hyatt next time. I guess it depends on what experience that you are looking for.
