Looking to stay in Asheville downtown for $100/n 10/1-10/3. Is $100/n a reasonable bid for a 3 star or should I first try a 3.5 star at that price?

I would be open to the courtyard riverview/downtown which is a 3 star...the problem is that is the only one in that category that I would be happy with. I really don't want to stay at the holiday inn which is the only other one in that category. I guess I'll start with a 175 bid for downtown 3 star and go from there. If you have any strategies to get the courtyard riverview in my price range please let me know. I will be using your links to priceline. I really appreciate the time you've spent to help me.

We live in Atlanta. Looking to drive somewhere close that we like. I went to the College of Charleston so my heart is kind of there. But I understand what you are saying. The only other place I would like to go would be Austin, TX but I think that would cost me more because of the flights. I guess I will just need to up my budget here to get a decent 2.5-3 star hotel in downtown..I guess I could also stay outside of downtown to get a better price but that isn't ideal for us. If I can spend $175-180/n do you think I need to bid on a 2.5 or 3 star? Do you think I could get one for the weekend of 10/1-10/3 for that price? If you know of other southeastern locations near Atlanta that are good travel spots please suggest. Thanks!!

Thanks again for the help. I guess my preference would be go for the 2.5 star to keep the cost down a bit. I really don't have a problem with any of the hotels in the priceline historic Charleston area with the exception of the days inn. So do you think 10/1-10/3 is out of the question for a $150 bid on 2.5 star? I'm assuming from your reply you would go with the next weekend (10/8) instead? Do you know what hotels priceline has that are in the 2.5 star range in the historic district charleston area? We stayed at the Hampton last time and really enjoyed that. Not sure what the rating is on priceline of that hotel?

Looking to spend $175/n at the most. We could probably look at the next weekend too if there were better deals. We really would like to stay downtown and can be somewhat flexible on the dates. Does the next weekend (10/8-10/10) look better?

I am looking to book a 2.5-3 star for $150/n from 10/1-10-3 for my 5th anniversary. I have tried so far but my bids for both at that rate were not taken. Does anyone have any ideas or techniques that I'm not trying? Is $150 a reasonable bid for downtown historic district 2.5-3 star for that time frame? Any help would be much appreciated from this rookie! MP
