Hi there!
Just a quick question: Has anyone ever gotten the Cedarbrook Lodge on NYOP? We have a backup hotel already booked and I have been using your bidding helper to see if there is a hotel that strikes my fancy at a better price than we presently have. However, I would love to be able to get the Cedarbrook for around $290 total for the 2 nights 8/25/19 - 8/27/19 by bidding. If not possible, I'm not going to spend more time at the bidding thing.
BTW: Love the way you have added the "what hotel is this?" on your BiddingHelper.com site.
Thanks in advance.
In addition to the amenities mentioned in previous posts, priceline indicated there would be a $45.20 resort fee.
Thank you for your help.
Thank you! I'll be back to let you know what I decided to do.
Please help me Id this hotel:
3*
Clearwater/St. Petersburg, FL Zone: Treasure Island
Dec 31 - Jan 4
$89/night
amenities:
Business Center
Indoor or Outdoor Pool
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
I was thinking the Treasure Bay Resort and Marina, but I'm confused because it doesn't say "free breakfast."
What's your thought?
Thanks in advance.
Just got the W Fort Lauderdale by bidding on PRICELINE for Feb 11. On the PRICELINE EXPRESS section there was a 4* hotel priced at $141 with these amenities
Pets Allowed
Business Center
Restaurant
Indoor or Outdoor Pool
Fitness Center
No Smoking Rooms/Facilities
that I thought would be the W Fort Lauderdale. It had an 8 rating and showed a 26.50 resort fee. I decided to try bidding to see if I could get a better price. Started with $111 and added re-bid zones until I got to $125. My bid was accepted. Total for the hotel is $125 + 22.97 = $147.97 and 26.50 payable at hotel for a grand total of $174.47. I am happy with that considering the hotel was priced at $367 + taxes and fees for $434 total.
Thanks for researching that hotel. I'm not sure that I would be interested in the Urbano as it is getting mixed reviews right now. Also, Urbano is $143 on tripadvisor. I guess I shouldn't go with a 3.5* if I bid (or 3* because they can upgrade, right?). I was just hoping to get a deal by bidding - if that is not possible, then will go other routes.
thank you!
Sorry, I forgot about the other thread. I have updated it.
Sorry, I forgot about this thread :(
We ended up booking the Analucia directly with the hotel.
I'm wanting to bid on a hotel in Miami for Dec 2, 2016 one night, 1 room, 2 people. I would prefer DT Brickle area, but would take South Beach or Coral Gables, plus open to suggestions. Would like to stay under $200 - realizing that it may be a pipe dream. Any help in bidding strategy is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks. The Courtyard Isla Verde was the only one that made sense to me.
I'll let y'all know what we decide. :)
oops, sorry, I should have known to post the info: July 26 - July 30.
Thanks!!!
Please help with the ID of this hotel in Isla Verde:

about $16/night for resort fee
I think it might be the Courtyard - what do you think?
Thanks!!!
The price went up $3/night, but still felt like this was a great deal. Online sites were going for $209/N and I really wanted this hotel because we are attending a wedding reception there. Thank you for all your help!
It's gone now :( Will check back on HOTWIRE periodically to see if it returns. Thank you for your help. I will close this thread once I make a reservation.
Thanks! I was thinking it was that hotel, too! Need to confirm that this is good with my travel partner and book asap.

Thanks to ThEBob for posting the amenitites in an earlier post.
Actually, I think these are the amenities to the 3* hotwire hotel I had originally asked about:
Free Parking, Free Internet, Suite, Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Self service laundry, Internet access, In-room accessibility, Accessible bathroom, Handicapped parking, Roll-in shower
The one in the reply above is for a 4* but on the regular hotwire tab it only gets a 75% approval.
sorry for the confusion
I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.
If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above?
Are you looking for something in particular in terms of hotel?
Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
When I went to the hotwire easy view tab, these are the amenities that show up (assuming it is the same hotel because on the regular Hotwire tab it is described as hotel condo, but it is not on the easy view tab): Pet friendly, Smoke Free Rooms, Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Internet access, Tennis Nearby, Accessible path of travel, In-room accessibility, Wheelchair accessible, Accessible bathroom, Handicapped parking, Roll-in shower
I think they are looking for something with a shuttle, something nice and something with stores, restaurants close by. I too am looking at the same dates for 1 night precruise.
If you are using HOTWIRE for downtown/Las-Olas, a favorite 2 star with shuttle is Extended stay america for $60 its less on PRICELINE. The 4 star is the Renaissance $66 no shuttle but great location, the 3* with Shuttle is Hyatt place for $112 and the 3.5* The Riverside Hotel, no Shuttle for $85.
A taxi to these Locations are just about $15 or so if there is no shuttle. If its one night Extended stay has gotten great reviews and has a shuttle and close to stores and restaurants all walking distant.
I have not really looked at the Airport ones. But I don't know the Condo type one listed,with these ammenities. Unless hotwire re-branded this
■Free Parking■Free Internet■Suite■Airport Shuttle■Fitness Center■Pool(s)■Restaurant(s)■Business Center■Self service laundry■Internet access■In-room accessibility■Accessible bathroom■Handicapped parking■Roll-in shower
Just realize this is the PRICELINE board. I think they are quoating hotwire and the rates I added are from HOTWIRE.
What he says I am looking for describes it perfectly.
Bosjoe, I did go from discussing priceline to hotwire because in the past this board asked to keep discussion about the same trip on the same thread.
Thank you both for the replies.
Bidding advice for SeaTac hotel 8/25-27/19 4*
in Priceline Hotels - Washington (state)

Thanks! I thought the $290 was a bit ambitious, but wanted your input.
I don't remember the bid I entered but the total with taxes and fees has come in around $290 and obviously it hasn't been accepted. Priceline has done a great job of hiding the NYOP link; It had been a while since doing any bidding and at first I thought they had done away with it.
I'll check out both those links you posted if we go with a Hotwire or Priceline hotel. My friend gets pretty good discounts through his work and there is an advantage to us having a cancelable reservation when pricing is comparable.
Again, thank you for all you help.
