Priceline Hotel: Bidding help for Springfield 2/17-2/20

[ellenkf]

I am trying to get 3 rooms in Springfield, IL and normally get the 3* Crowne Plaza at about $55/night.

I am up to $72 and can not get an accepted bid.

Hotwire is offering the Ramada at $56 but we really don't want to stay there.

Any suggestions for a successful win?

Thanks!

What is the current rate at the Crowne Plaza for these dates? Do you know the hotel direct rate for when you usually win this in the $55 area?

The best rate for the Crowne Plaza is $125. From what I've read on the board, others have also won the for about the same $50ish rate at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel and Conference center. Their rate is $110.

There doesn't appear to be anything special going on then and the hotels are not booked. Thanks!

The Crowne Plaza has a slight rate increase on Sunday nite 2/19, is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option?

I've been trying to get a deal for Springfield from 2/17-2/20 and a 3* South just popped up for the first time for $78.

I know the 3* North is the Ramada but clueless to this one.

3* Springfield South

Amenities are:

Complimentary breakfast

Hi-Speed Internet

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks :)

Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.

Unfortunately this property has not yet been reported to the board. I did give a look at the area and with just these two amenities there isn't enough to go by and i wasn't able to gain any insight into this one.
