Closed a thread.  I can't find anymore I started.  Again, my apologies.

Sorry to you and others who replied to my other posts.  My apologies.

HOTWIRE is so confusing.  I'm trying to narrow down the possibility I get Country Inn and Suites, Disneyland.  It's rated 3.5*.  I want to be there April 23-27.

looking at the Hotwire categories for 3.5* they all look the same?  What the heck is the difference in the 3.5* category for Disneyland? There are 

there are 3 categories with 3.5* :/

thanks

I have never used hotwire. always used priceline.

do hotwire prices change? and can the hotel be narrowed down? and how so?

i put in nov1-5, 5*, south area strip, suite

price is $143cdn not including taxes etc

thank u

I searched Shanghai and noticed people were rebidding for 5*??? I guess this has changed? Pudong has 5* thus I can only bid once per day?

Thanks

I am traveling April 3-10, 2012

I don't care whether I get 3.5 or 4 star. 4 stars more often than not will be more expensive. Obviously I want to get it as cheap as possible. If you want a figure than let me arbitrarily say $60.....based on my research etc....I will keep trying. And after further review this needs to be in the anaheim/disneyland zone.

Thanks

Looking for 3.5* or better April3-6, I don't have a budget. Just as cheap as I can get for best star rating hotel. Thanks for the area clarfication. I will try Disneyland area.

I have confirmation of travel to LA and will spend 3 days in the Disneyland area.....I have no idea what the difference(s) are between these two areas (Garden Grove/Disneyland)?

Thanks

Glad to hear you were able to score a nice upgrade and extend your stay. :)

I think this place really varies in their accepting prices. In Sept of 2009 I got this property for $40. And I have been trying again the past few days and they won't even accept $60 for dates in early April. Weird. I can't imagine the prices doubling in a few years?

Do you want to try for a 4* hotel in this zone up to $100 and then weigh your options OR what is your game plan going forward?

I'll add that HOTWIRE has what i'm guessing to be the Se San Diego for a little more than your budget at $129... and 3.5* rated properties for a little less.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know your thoughts and we'll advise accordingly.

I ended up booking through Expedia.

No results yet with shanghai. I keep bidding $75 for a 5* and once in awhile they counter with $95. I will keep plugging away. Just wanted to update the group.

I have used the PRICELINE link provided above. I have tried a few times with $70 and $75 bids for March28-April7, 2011) and they counter with $95. It is still a few months before I leave BUT does anyone have suggestions and/or thoughts? Is it possible this won't be the Hilton and perhaps might be the Le Meridian/Westin even? It seems like the Hilton gets picked the majority of time at $75

Thanks in advance.

bid 65 +5 bonus cash

bid 70 + 5 bonus cash

bid 75 + 5 bonus cash -- ACCEPTED at total of $80

worked out to be around $90 after taxes.

Bonus cash? I am going to Shanghai in late march. I noticed their are no rebid zones for a 5* :) I want to stay in Huangpu as well for 7-9 nights. I guess I have to wait 24hrs to rebid.

I tried to rebid a few times for the DT area of Sandiego with dates of Oct19-24 for a 4*, started out at $80, $85 and $90 bids. No luck.

Staying in San Diego arriving October 17 and staying for 7 nights. I have never been and wonder what area to bid? I want to be central but also would be nice to be near the beach :)

Which areas do you suggest for bidding?

I do plan on renting a car for the week if that helps in the area. I hope to pay $100 max per night. Cheaper is better of course.

I bid $126 for a 3.5* in midtown east just as the OP did and voila-$126 was accepted for "The Roosevelt Hotel". It has mixed reviews and looks like the main issues are size of the room and decor. But I am only their to sleep. Should be okay. And I think great deal for that time of year.

Thanks OP

Thank you OP! I just did a priceline as well for April-17-23 for $126 :) Your the best and thanks for posting.

Thanks. Now regarding Hotwire, I have always wondered what the advantages, if any, are for getting a hotel?? I don't see any deals compare to PRICELINE over the years. HOTWIRE seems like regular rates?

Thanks again

I am doing research on a hotel april17-23 thru various resources including PRICELINE. I am noticing that NYC hotels with two beds are quite abit more than a room with a King or Queen bed.

Any thoughts on this for NYC?

I pretty much need two beds, but I guess a King for two people may work but rather not.

Thanks

Thanks, link worked again and I posted-thanks.

I just bid $70 for a hotel sept14-20 for a 4star hotel on Vegas Strip/Fremont. It came back with an offer of $90.

Is that a good deal? I have yet to continue lol clicking for the $90 a night offer. Its probably gone by now but is that a good deal?

Thanks

That was ages ago. I don't think I went. I can't find it under my priceline account. :)

Confused? I want to stay in Manhatten, 4*, $150 without taxes, central location, either Times Square, Midtown East or West.

Thanks

Any suggestions on bidding strategies for staying in Manhatten for 6 nights, April-17-23. Which part of Manhatten should I bid? I would like to be in a pretty central area ( i know Manhatten is big) and hope to find a room for $150? Possible?

Thanks in advance.

Haha I did a rebid for the Strip/4stars at 80bucks and it came back with counter offer $121 :) :)

I guess it must have been the Nugget for $90 in the Fremont area. I am guessing.

Thanks

Hmm are the extra bids automatic? I can just go back and bid again without picking a lower star hotel selection?

And hmm I guess if I bid the 90 and only select Strip it should give me a room 4 stars? :)

Thanks in advance.
