Priceline Hotel: Looking for Paris 4* 6/17–6/18

[mPasCa]

Hi all–

I wanted to share a loss with you all, and ask a question.

First, the loss. I bid for Paris, 4* in Champs Elysees, Eiffel tower, Latin Quarter, St. Germain, Opera E & W, up to $150 with no bite. I also tried my second choices of Republique and Bastille up to $130, again no takers.

So, now for the question: What range should I expect to pay to get a 4* on 6/17 in Paris in one of the locations above? Do you think I can get away with less than $200?

Take your time to respond—I have 72 hrs.

On the PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals, there is a hotel in the Opera East - Louvre for $216. It's 4* rated 7 out of 10. An educated guess is you could get it for a bid of $185.

It's always difficult to predict rates.

But since you have limited time to bid would I not waste time for Champs Elysees, Eiffel tower, Latin Quarter or St. Germain since 4* rates are high for your date. Unless you're willing to bid for a lower rated hotel.

Opera E looks like your best bet for now like agedude says if you want to bid 4*.

If keeping your $150 budget would I lower the bidding to 3* and go for Opera E and W, Eiffel tower, Montmatre or Latin Quarter.

Keep us updated and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.

At the 4* level there are four free rebid zones. If you aren't familiar with that concept, it is discussed in the PRICELINE FAQ.

Well, I tried 4* up to $140 without a bit yesterday. I think I'll wait a day or so to see how prices change before making up my mind on how to proceed. *fingers crossed*

I tried 4* up to $140 without a bit yesterday.

Which zones did you bid... didn't you previously bid as high as $150?
