Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Raleigh-Durham (Chapel Hill) Sheraton Chapel Hill

[rwethereyet?]

I can not find anybody in here that has ever bid or won a 4* in Durham...I will be staying from the 4th of Sept until the 6th.

Should I bid 3.5* and get a cheap deal? I was hoping for a 4* for not more than $55.

Any suggestions?

TIA

sorry, I didn't know I had to add on my NYC post.

Something came up, we could not make it to NYC.

Thanks

No problem, just remember to allways follow-up your posts.

Durham doesn't have any 4* bidding. Highest is 3.5*

What would your budget be for 3.5*?

I was considering Chapel Hill-Durham, sorry I left that out.

I am considering Durham and Chapel Hill, 4* or 3.5*. I am thinking for 3.5 $45.

Thanks again

Did you want to bid up to your limit for a 4* hotel in the Chapel Hill zone, then if that is rejected, try for the least expensive 3.5* in either the Chapel Hill or Durham zones?

ok, I think I have decided for 3.5*, is $45 max a possibility? Chapel hill and Durham.

THANKS!!

I don't think that $45 will be enough for a 3.5* on these dates but you can try. I've suggested a strategy to go up to $55 (which may not be enough either) since you mentioned that figure as a previous maximum bid at the 4* level, but you can stop at whatever star level you'd like.

At the 3.5* level you have SIX re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

Select 3.5* Durham...

Bid $33, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $38, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...

ok, I just won at first bid...wish I had started lower but I was afraid, like you said, that the price I was looking at was not "real" and you mentioned even $55 was not possible...

anyway, bid $50, got the Sheraton Chapel Hill Hotel for a total of $122

On-line rooms start at $180 so I am REALLY happy!!! :)

THANKS
