ewismer Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Hello- I am new to bidding Priceline. Will be taking family of 4 to Tucson from 3/25-4/2. Would like a resort or nice big hotel room for the stay. Suggestions on how to begin bidding would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
thereuare Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Are you looking at the Tucson North zone? Do you have a maximum bid in mind? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
ewismer Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 Hi, Thanks for the reply. I am really flexible regarding where we stay. We are visiting a student at the U of A. As for the resort, yes we are looking in either the Tucson North area, or La Paloma. I saw the earlier post that someone bid $125 and got the Westward Look resort. Is that the price area I need to be thinking of?
Scorp Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 I'm sure thereuare will follow up with you as well, but just wanted to mention that Westward Look has a special on its website. They have a 7-night Cactus League Spring Training special for $169/night. So, if you are bidding in this zone, that might help you set a max bidding amount.
rc408 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Those two zones are quite a distance from U of A. As long as you are willing to drive 20 to 30 min or more each way I'd bid closer. Check Mapquest or another similar map system to get distances to help make a decision.
thereuare Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 ewismer, did you know the zones were that far from U of A?Let us know if these are still the prefered zones for you.rc408, it's help such as yours above that makes this forum so great. thanks.

ewismer Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 Yes, I did know about the distance, but we want to stay at a resort if possible. Thanks for all your help.
ewismer Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Posted February 24, 2005 Well, I put in a bid to start the process. I chose the North Tucson area, resort class. I bid $75 and got the Omni Tucson National Golf Resort. I had checked Travelocity, and they wanted $296.74 a night for that time. I guess I bid too high to start! I'm pretty happy nonetheless!
Scorp Posted February 25, 2005 Report Posted February 25, 2005 Actually, I suspect your bid was right on the money! For your dates, I doubt that you could have got this for much less (if any). Hope you have a great stay!
