Priceline Hotel: Bidding Help

[amylou1989]

Hi All,

Looking for some assistance with Washington DC.

I stayed there a few years back and only paid $90 for the Garden Inn Downtown - direct from the Hilton's website!!

We are looking to visit in November.

In: 7 November Out: 9 November

However I'm finding it extremely expensive.

We would like to spend around $100 per night.

I'm hoping to stay in the Downtown area but would also consider Capitol Hill.

Again, I would be hoping for 3 stars and above.

Thanks All

Thanks. Have done.

Unfortunately, I think $100 isn't going to be realistic for these dates, which are definitely on the expensive side - I think you're possibly looking at as high as $135-165.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

I could go up to the $150 mark. Would you have any bidding suggestions?

At the 3* level you have ONE re-bid zone... at the 3.5* level you have FOUR 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.

I would begin as follows:

Select 3* White House-Downtown...

Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 3* Convention Center-Capitol Hill...

Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $110, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 3* White House-Downtown AND Convention Center-Capitol Hill...

Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $120

If the above is rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE

Select 3.5* White House-Downtown AND Convention Center-Capitol Hill AND re-bid zone (NOT the re-bid zone used above)...

Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $140

Any questions feel free to ask.
