travelingmom Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 First-timer here. If I look up Flowery Branch, GA on priceline, I get only one hotel, Hampton Inn, and it has no stars. I've read reviews on other sites so I know that Hampton Inn is fine. Question... if I bid on Flowery Branch, how many stars do I choose given that one doesn't have a star? Also, if I bid on Flowery Branch, do I get Flowery Branch or Flowery Branch areas? Big difference--there are several unacceptables in the Flowery Branch area, but only one hotel listed in Flowery Branch itself.Thanks y'all. :) Link to comment
tilepusher Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding, travelingmom.If you go to the Name Your Own Price bidding screen, Priceline will show you a map with the boundaries of the Flowery Branch bidding zone; if you bid for a hotel in Flowery Branch, Priceline can place you in any hotel within this area. The Flowery Branch zone largely overlaps the the bidding zone for Oakwood, and there appears to be at least two 2* hotels in Oakwood that lie in the Flowery Branch zone. Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 If I look up Flowery Branch, GA on priceline, I get only one hotel, Hampton Inn, and it has no stars.As well, the "retail" version of PRICELINE (what i believe you're using above) uses a different pool of hotels than the "bidding" version of PRICELINE, so it's not recommended to use the retail arm of PRICELINE to determine what you will get in the name your own price section of PRICELINEFor more info and a further discussion see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
