SleeplessInHolland

@Buteos, Well, I read something about this hotel (a great review) and I thought it would be a nice place to stay. I am travelling from the Pittsburg area to Niagara Falls and I was looking for a place to stay that is not too far from the falls. Also I read that Buffalo is a really nice area in the summer, so therefore I thought of staying for two nights. So we still would have some time to see things in Buffalo. But I guess I have to start looking for other options as well. My travel plans are not definitive yet, so I might reconsider staying in Amherst and look for another hotel and area. Maybe I was a bit spoiled with prices on our last trip in 2010 in the South Eastern area of Georgia and NC...it seems that NY is much more expensive. Can you tell I am Dutch? :D @thereuare: I am not sure yet what I will do. But I highly appreciate the help and information I've got on this forum. So I will definitely keep on reading here and using the links for Hotwire and Priceline. Thanks!

Today I've tried again up to 80,= max. I've started bidding at 65 dollars and added a rebid zone every time until there were no more zones left. My last offer was 80,= dollars and to be honest, that is the absolute maximum price I want to pay. I mean, I love to stay in a fancy hotel but with a trip of 3 weeks I need to budget a little bit or we have no money left for shopping :D

Thanks for your reply. Actually I went a bit over my maximum price. My last bid was 87 dollar, on February 28th. And it was rejected. I added all the rebid zones that are available for the Buffalo area. So perhaps it is just too early and I have to be more patient Best regards, Esther

Hello, The past two weeks I have been bidding on the 3,5 * Buffalo Amherst Marriott hotel. My travel dates are Wednesday July 25th - Friday July 27th (a 2-night stay). My absolute maximum is 75 dollar per night. (because it is the summer season I assume the prices are higher than what other people got recently for this hotel). Thanks in advance for your advice, I highly appreciate the help! Best regards, Esther

I am trying to get this hotel for July 2012 but no luck so far. Do you think it is too early to try and book this? And how about the price, I've seen this hotel for those dates in July on Hotwire for about 145,= - that seems a little high? I would highly appreciate some advice on the bidding strategy. Thanks! Best regards, Esther

After my first succes I went and booked some additional days I used this sites link to HOTWIRE to book the *** Hyatt Place Atlanta Buckhead Price $ 49 for 08/22/10 - 08/26/10 Smoke Free Rooms Complimentary Breakfast Fitness Center Pool(s) Business Center High-speed Internet Access To me it was pretty obvious this would be the same hotel as I booked on hotwire yesterday. So I am a happy camper :) and I look forward to my vacation in August!

I used this sites link to HOTWIRE to book the *** Hyatt Place Atlanta Buckhead Price $ 52 for one night in August 2010 Since the amenities were the same as mentioned in this topic, I went ahead and made my first reservation using Betterbidding. Thanks to the helpfull information about adding children I was able to book the hotel I was hoping for and I am very happy :)
