dianev Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Hi, would like your thoughts on this one. Looking for a hotel on our way home from Florida (it would be April 2 for one night, 2 rooms)I have checked rates and most of the hotels in that area are in the 2* range which is the highest Priceline offers. I have gotten rates myself of anywhere from $50.99 - $69.88 so not very high reallyI have tried 25, 30 and 35 on Priceline and been turned down. And they all gave me the not a chance message first too which is strange considering the last offer is only about $20 less then what Priceline themselves states is the going price. (they state $55)Do you think this is a matter of a small town thing and not much availability even though they "offer" it or what? If I keep bidding much higher I will be at pretty close to what I can book myself.thanks for your opinion!Diane Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Always ignore priceline "average retail price" as it's meaningless.This is probably a difficult bid due to the area begin a small town. Given the drive, is there a larger area nearby that you can consider? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
dianev Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Hi, we could do Knoxville but the reason I picked Cleveland is that the hotels will be right off the freeway which is what we need. I am afraid with Knoxville being a big city that we could end up with something quite a drive from the freeway..Priceline was actually pretty "on" with the suggested retail price according to what I found so all I can assume is they dont have much available. The other board doesnt show any posted wins either.Oh how I wish airfares would have been decent so we wouldnt be driving and dealing with this :-( Link to comment
