Yes, it's starting to make sense. I haven't used Hotwire before. The ammenties are almost same, high speed internet is included on HOTWIRE. Both hotwire and betterbidding include Resturant, pool, fitness and business.

The Holiday Inn is listed as 3* on betterbidding for hotwire. Hotwire offers a 3* in Claymont for $129.00, so I am assuming it would be the same. However, Priceline doesn't offer a 3* to bid in Claymont.

So, is it common that I can bid in Claymont on Priceline but the city isn't offered when bidding in Wilmington area???

I plan to use priceline through savinsbarn.com and will bid tomorrow morning. Is $65.00 a good starting bid???

Thanks,

Tiff

Hotwire the hotel is listed 3*, $129.00

Priceline the hotel is listed 2.5* $127.00

Website the hotel is listed $127.00

Should I bid priceline, searching under Claymont, 2.5* starting at $65.00???

Thanks for your help,

I have spent a few nights researching and now I have a few questions. I need 2 rooms and want the Holiday Inn Select on Naamans Rd, Claymont, DE from July 16-22.

First, I notice in priceline if I start the search for Claymont, DE, it lists a variety of hotels including Wilmington/Newark area. When I click for the options to bid, it lists Claymont, DE with 2.5* or 2* selection but no map of the area. Now, when I begin the search for Wilmington, DE, it lists a variety of hotels but when I click for the options to bid, it lists different towns and maps but NOT Claymont...

I notice on betterbidding hotels are not listed for Claymont, DE but for Wilmington. So my questions:

Why am I able to bid on Claymont, DE if I FIRST search for that area but it's not offered under Wilmington search?

Should I bid under Claymont, 2.5*? I am searching hotwire price, priceline price and website to determine beginning bid.

Thanks,

Tiff

Began bidding on Saturday, February17

Duration June 18-24, 2007

$40.00 3* Colorado Springs South offer DECLINED

Rebid $45.00 3* Colorado Springs South and added North for Rebid offer DECLINED

Priceline offered Sheraton $131.00 per night and hotel website offered $131.00 per night

Bid again on Monday, March 5

$50.00 3* Colorado Springs South offer ACCEPTED

(I was expecting it to be declined!!!) It was the hotel I wanted at a terrific price.

I notice the hotel listings on better bidding are different than what priceline has you select for bidding. I believe they just renamed the areas. It was a little confusing but I at least figured out where I wanted to stay and the area.

1st Bid...Economy $15.00 rejected

2nd Bid...Compact $16.00 accepted!!!

1st Bid: Airport South, 2 1/2*, $40.00, rejected then tried...

2nd Bid Airport South, 2*, $48.00 accepted

I didn't do very well...I was bidding on a Saturday night, perhaps better offers on Sunday evening. I don't know why I placed my offer higher when my star selection went down???? I was not thinking!!! I also had time to wait it out if I didn't receive my offers. However, still saved approx. $12.00 per night compared to internet rates and their website. (And, I was orginally going to stay at a 3* hotel, same location for $114.00 per night) I notice this hotel is not listed under Priceline Hotels for bidding.
