sidewinder19 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 HiI have unsuccessfully bid for the 4 star Grand Bohemian in Ashville. I am reasonably certain that is the only 4 star in Asheville. Their adv rate is 199 for next weds and 269 for thurs. I have bid up to 161 and been rejected.1. Do I wait until next week?2. Bid for weds night only and see if they offer me additional nights3. about ready to just book weds night with hotel and bid on 3 or 31/2 star for balance of weekAny insight or advice would be appreciatedsidewinder Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!What are the actual dates of your stay... it's not clear if this is a 2 nite stay (Wed-Fri) or longer since you are considering "bid on 3 or 31/2 star for balance of week"Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

sidewinder19 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I would like the grand bohemian for weds and thursI will be in asheville thru sun but will be pretty busy fri thru sun so really just need a decent hotel downtown Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 If you're willing to stay someplace else Thursday onward (and simply hope to stay there Thursday nite as well) i would try #2 above... but realize that if the extend your stay is offered, it most likley wont' be at the same rate. Best you should probably hope for is the offer to extend your stay, and then when attempting to do so, be told they found a room but it's at $xx, as it won't likely be at the same rate)Of course if you're "reasonably certain" to believe that this is the only 4* hote lin the zone, if you're successful for the Wednesday nite, you could also then try bidding for the solo Thursay nite (and have two separate, but continuous, reservations)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know what you decide and how it goes or if we can be of further help.

I can always fall back to a 31/2 or 3 star room which is beginning to look like a steal compared to the Bohemian.But someone said you only go around once and the Bohemian looks like a good go around memory Link to comment
