Priceline Hotel: Virginia Beach Area - July 31st to August 8th HELP PLEASE...

[SpykeYs]

Hi,

I am currently planning a trip to Virginia Beach and my dates will be from July 31st to August 8th. We need 2 roooms and would like to stay close to the beach, hopefully oceanfront.

I have tried bidding up to 95$ for a 3* in VA BEACH area with no success.

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks!

If you would like to get help with a bidding strategy so please post your budget/night. Is the VA BEACH area zone the only zone you're willing to stay in?

Let us know how we can help you further.

Hi Yellowdog,

Thanks for helping.

The VA Beach Area is the only one we are willing to stay as we would prefer to be with walking distance to the beach.

I am willing to go up to ~125 a night per rooms

Is this realistic ?

Last year thru your help I managed to get the Doubletree for 100$ a night. Hopefully I can get something closer to the beach this time.

Another option at ~60$ would be Norfolk. Last year I also stayed at the Holiday Inn Exec Centre for 60$, but would prefer the VA Beach area.

Any help would be appreciated, I will use your PRICELINE links once I book.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the help!

All were unsucessful.

As it will proberbly be peek season, should I wait 1-2 weeks prior to my arrival to book ? Maybe they will lower their price to sell last minute rooms.. ?

Thanks,

SpykeYs

I'd at least keep trying every few days, as if traffic stays high, there's certainly a chance that prices could ramp higher. While waiting until the last minute does work at times, if there's something going on during these dates, prices may stay around these levels or head higher.
