Hello again! Looking to book a hotel for Boston on June 21-24 in Cambridge West. Amenities are not important and I have 6 rebid zones. Maximum bid would be $150. Im pretty sure there secret hotel is the Hyatt or Le Meridien and its for $175. I attempted to bid with the rezones tonight from $100-$150 but did not win. Im not really lucky with the bidding but Im not going to give up! What do you think would be the best strategy to bid in this area. We are also ok with adding Boston-Aquariam area. Also please let me know if you think $150 is a reasonable bid. Thanks so much!

I ended up going with the express deal on Priceline for a 4.5* that guaranteed me double beds for $372. With my reserach I was 95% sure it was the Waldorf and it was. I felt I could do a little better than that but Im traveling with picky family members so want to make sure its a good hotel and we saved 30%. So thats something... Thanks for your help!

Ok I did the bidding plan and didnt win. What is a realistic bid for a 4.5* hotel in that area?

Great I will do that and let you know results. But I was reading on another post about the possibility of getting a single bed. I want to get a room with two beds. Is that a possibility or is it something I have to ask when I get there?

Hello: I would like to bid on a 4.5* hotel in Midtown East or West or in Central Park West. I have seven rebid zones and would like my maximum bid to be $250. Amenities are not important. What would be the best strategy? Travel dates are June 5th- June 8th. Thanks!

LOL No they are charging me a mandatory resort fee of $108! So I guess that's not normal? This is what it says. Additional Mandatory Resort Charges: : USD 108.00† †Payable directly to the property upon check out.

Alright guys...this was definitely and arduous process for sure. But I went with the secret Travelocity deal (with the link you provided) and got Vail cascade for $163 a night!! I'm very happy with that. My only concern is that they didn't offer trip assurance like Hotwire and Priceline. But hopefully we won't need it. They also charge a $108 resort fee. I don't know if that's for every hotel. Thank you so much for your patience and help thereuare and amazing advice Brandon!!

Thank you Brandon for your help that really was great advice. Thereuare-The four-star bids for Vail did not work. I followed Brandon's advice and look at other sites and they had Travelocity secret 4* hotel for 163. Is there a way to find out what hotel that is? Also on hotels.com and other sites they had Vail Cascade resorts for 249 a night. Could i get that for less on priceline? 163 seems like a great deal but concerned that it will not be hotel in that area. Avon or Vail. Please advise. Thanks!

Hello: So I have gone with the advice you have given and Im up to 230 from your bid and have one more try tomorrow. Im willing to add the Avon/Bear Creek area which has 4* and resort hotels. Do you think its possible with this similar strategy to get a hotel in Avon/Bear Creek for less than $200/night? Thanks again for your help.

Im using the rebidding but I cannot find another zone that does not offer 4*. Priceline has linked their area's together. There are 5 zones. 1. Avon-Beaver Creek - These have 4* 2. Breckenridge- This one I didnt see a 4*, but some didnt have a rating. 3. Dillon-Silverthrone-Frisco - This one has one resort which says its Keystone Lodge and Spa (which is in Keystone but they say is Dillon) There is not an umbrella here indicating a resort though. 4. Keystone- This one I cannot find on the hotel list. See above. 5. Vail Please let me know which could be a rezone. So #2 and #3 could possible be a rezone but I wanted to double check with you before proceeding. Thanks!

You are awesome. Thank you so much! I will post with updates.

Alrighty.., I accept any hotel within the boundaries of the zone. That is 4* or a resort. What advice do you have for my bidding price?

Hello: Yes, I am also considering staying in 4* in the shaded areas but I would prefer that resorts in Lionshead. Please advice on both situations please as time is running close and on some sites it only says a few rooms are left. (I dont know how accurate that is) But any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello: Thanks for your help. I'm willing to go up to $250. I would like to stay at the resorts in Lionshead because the rest of my family will be in that area. But I guess getting a hotel in the surrounding areas wouldn't be too bad. Thanks!

Yes I am looking for a standard hotel room. Thanks!

Sorry I've never been to Vail so don't know what they have. But a regular one bedroom without adjoining kitchen etc. I would like to stay in the Lionshead area- Marriott if possible. Which I now realize are resorts not 4*. Any advice would be awesome. Thanks for your help! Clicked on the links! :)

A standard one bedroom.

Hello I would like to book a 1 bedroom for a 4* hotel in Vail, Colorado for $150-$200 for the dates of March 27-31 2013. It says the price is $599. Is this a possibility or do I need to move down to 3.5*? Amenities are not important. Thanks! On Priceline bidding.
