Vancouver Marriott Pinnacle for $81 per night on Priceline
My wife and I were both presented with the opportunity to volunteer at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. We will be volunteering at the British Columbia Media Centre as the word’s media descend on Vancouver during the week prior to the Olympics.
Although we could probably have stayed with friends, I viewed this as an opportunity for my wife and I to get away from the kids and enjoy some time in Vancouver and getting into the spirit of the Games. We were fortunate enough to get a fantastic deal on Priceline for a 4-star hotel in downtown Vancouver. In case you’re wondering, we paid $81 per night through Priceline, compared to a similar hotel on Hotwire for $120/night and $225/night via the hotel’s own website (Marriott Pinnacle Downtown Vancouver). Way to go Priceline!
I’ll update my blog during and after my Olympic experience. Check back for updates on the hotel, the volunteer experience, and the pre-Olympic excitement of downtown Vancouver!
