Priceline Hotel: Help with Yosemite hotel for 6/22-6/24

[CheleL]

Help! I have been bidding for the last 2 weeks- tried bidding oakhurst, then adding mariposa. Also tried entering separate bids. Started at 70 & have bid up to $86, but have not been successful.

Yosemite area > Zones: Oakhurst and/or Mariposa

Dates: 6/22/2010- 6/24/2010

Hotel rates from hotel's direct websites: comfortinn.com & shiloinns.com. Looks like there are still rooms available.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

What star level have you been bidding in each of these zones?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Hotwire has a 2* in Oakhurst for $122.

Breakfast, Pool, Internet.

This hotel hasn't been ID'ed. It could be the Shilo, or another budget brand like Days Inn, EconoLodge, etc. Priceline usually beats Hotwire on rate so you may have 2* success on PRICELINE somewhere between $86 (what you've bid) and $122.

It's also possible that the HOTWIRE 2* is a 1* on PRICELINE.

HOTWIRE doesn't offer hotels in Mariposa.

Thanks- I've been bidding on 2* hotels. Ok. I'll try upping my bid.

Thanks!

I think you'll have to up your bid for Yosemite during June!!

I ended up booking a hotel outside of Priceline & Hotwire.

Thanks for closing this thread with your decision.

It would be helpful to others if you posted what you did end up booking as it may give others an idea to consider when PRICELINE / HOTWIRE isn't working out for their own trips.

Also, in our Support Page we have links to most of the major hotel chains and online booking agencies, please check for and use the links there whenever possible/available.
