So happy you were able to get a great price at the Marriott, juggafun! I could kick myself for giving up on PRICELINE as I know that they are the best! I contacted HOTWIRE due to their "Low Price Guarantee" but they refused to refund the $30 more a night that we are paying for the same hotel and same dates stating, "After reviewing the information you submitted, we have determined that you are not eligible for a refund under the Low Price Guarantee, because the rate you provided was a special bidding rate that was not available to the general public." Not sure how PRICELINE is not available to the general public since any one can get online and bid! I learned a good lesson....Be patient. PRICELINE is usually the very best way to go for a best room at a best price! I don't plan on using HOTWIRE again. However, we are pleased to be at the Marriott as well and look forward to our trip! ;-)

Tried to split the trip on PRICELINE but was not successful with bidding. Went to Hotwire (using the HOTWIRE link on this site) and booked the $119 room; Got the Marriott (as predicted) and am very happy as we've stayed at the Marriott many times and love it there! ;-)

Bid yesterday and today after seeing winning bids at $60 for the same week but wasn't successful at $60, $65, $70, or $75 for resort accommodations 6/20-25 (actually changed to 6/19-24 at one point just to see if that would help but it didn't).

Please post your Priceline results as I am thinking of going through Priceline as opposed to Hotwire as well...would love to know which hotel you get! Thanks!

I would prefer to bid on Priceline and hope for the Marriott or Hilton but since I am not seeing anyone showing the Marriott or Hilton I am a bit unsure as to what to bid. Went to Hotwire and got the following for $121 for June 19-25: 4-star hotel in Hilton Head Island This hotel features the following amenities: Beachfront Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities High-speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Spa Services Any help with IDing this one? Thanks!

Just booked the Marriott using the PRICELINE link from this forum. I started at $68 which was rejected and then went to $75 and it was accepted! Thanks for all the great info!
