verga Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I am trying to secure a hotel in Flagstaff for May 12-14, 2010 (visiting Grand Canyon). Using your PRICELINE link, I bid $42 for Flagstaff and increased to $44 for Sedona - no luck.I will try again tomorrow. What is a reasonable amount to bid for that period?Thanks,Verga Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Please provide which star rating you have bid for and desired max budget per night. Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches. Link to comment
verga Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 My bid was for 3* at both Flagstaff and Sedona. The last winning bid in the same area was $51 + taxes (Radisson). I was hoping to get something lower than that price. Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 How high are you willing to bid for a 3* hotel in either of these zones?With hotel direct rates at a 3* property in these zones selling for $100+ your current maximum bid is still less than half the prevailing rate.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

verga Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I tried 3* again and my bid for Flagstaff was $44 and added Sedona at $46 - both rejected. I used your PRICELINE link to bid.I prefer 3* if possible and up to $51 + taxes. I would love to stay at the new Marriott Courtyard but of course there is no guarantee that I'll get it.Right now, Ramada has a 40% sale that ends tomorrow (includes Ramada West Grand Canyon Area (2.5*) . I am thinking of reserving 2 nights at $47.40 per night ($52.36 all in) as my back-up. Link to comment
