Advice on starting bid for Lodge at Tiburon

 

When bidding on PRICELINE there is no way to target a specific property, you need to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star rating (or higher) that you choose.

 

Is the Lodge at Tiburon the only hotel you're willing to accept for this trip?

The max bid would be $190/night. I found the amenities on Priceline. I understand I can't gaurantee getting this specific hotel, but it looks like it is the only 3.5* in that zone.

There are definitely other 3.5* hotels in this zone... the Casa Madrona Hotel and Spa and the The Mill Valley Inn would be two other possibilities (and there could be others).

 

Please confirm that these (or any other hotel in the zone you may receive) would be acceptable possibilities and we will suggest a strategy for you to follow.

Thank you, Casa Madrona and The Mill Valley Inn would be fine. Neither of those has a pool though, so I thought they wouldn't be 3.5*...guess that is wrong.

When bidding 3.5* in this region you have ONE re-bid zone.  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.

 

I would try as follows in 3 steps:

 

Select 3.5* Sausalito - Mill Valley...

Bid $150, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $160

If the above is rejected wait 2 hours and return to the board to use this link to re-access PRICELINE (and not the link in any emails that priceline may send letting you know that you're eligible to bid again)

 

Select 3.5* Sausalito - Mill Valley...

Bid $170, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $180

If the above is rejected wait 2 hours and return to the board to use this link to re-access PRICELINE (and not the link in any emails that priceline may send letting you know that you're eligible to bid again)

 

Select 3.5* Sausalito - Mill Valley...

Bid $185, if rejected add re-bid zone...
Bid $190

 

If the above is rejected that the $193/nite offer thru HOTWIRE

 

Any questions feel free to ask.
