The dates fo my stay are October 8-10. Thank you!

Just as an FYI, this property is now a Marriott and has been shifted to a 3.5 star. I won it this afternoon with a bid of $65.

Not leaving you hanging - LastMinuteTravel leaves you hanging unless you really pursue them. I work pretty crazy hours and I had a tough time getting them on the phone without getting interrupted by a work call. The Westin was a no-go. I tried priceline but it didn't work so I used your tip at LastMinuteTravel and got the Crown Plaza...paid more than I wanted to but for a Holiday weekend I just had to suck it up! Thanks for the help!

Hopefully I will hear soon! I have been busy on a big project at work and didn't get to call LastMinuteTravel until today. They promised me an answer from the Westin by the end of today. If I don't get one, then I am going to do the same thing as you and just book the Crown Plaza :-) I was hoping not to have to do that, but I think that is going to be our best bet!

Thanks! They say they will get back to me about the Westin within 48 hours so I think I'm just going to wait until tomorrow and see how it goes...I'm guessing I won't get it, but I'm willing to wait 24 more hours... Thanks again for the help!

Ok....I made an attempt to get the Westin on LastMinuteTravel. Should I be worried that when you go directly to the hotel website it says no rooms are available? Hmmm. But when I go to Expedia, it says rooms are available. Go figure!

Amazing - thanks Gallus! I am going to go try this right now...

I would say my maximum bid would be 120...the problem is my parents have a timeshare that runs from Saturday to Saturday, and my husband and I enjoy going and staying with them for Thurs - Saturday and then we check into a hotel for the rest of the weekend. Last year I never won a room and I've always been successful at name your own price before. We ended up at a not so lovely place for the rest of the weekend. I am bidding on Resort only. Thanks for the tips! I will go check the actual hotel websites and see if Friday night is a different price...

Hello everyone! I am trying to bid on a hotel in Hilton Head for Labor Day weekend. I am only trying to stay Saturday (9.4.2010) and check out Sunday (9.6.2010). I have bid up to $110.00 and still can't get a succesful bid. I am hoping for tips. I am also wondering if it's an issue that I am not staying the entire weekend...(not Friday night). Does anyone think this makes a difference? Thanks in advance!
