Priceline Hotel: 4* Myrtle Beach (Myrtle Beach Area) Radisson

[bigmanprincipal]

Just used Priceline.co.uk to bid on a four star hotel in Myrtle Beach. I have tried using Priceline.com but bid up to $85 for a 3 * without any luck. This area seems to be harder to get a hotel in since they removed the resort option earlier in the year.

I bid 55 Euro (the equivalent of $72.90 US) and got a 4 * Hotel in the Radisson Plaza Hotel. I originally bid 43 Euro but was given the chance to increase my price by 12 Euro and have a room. I am sure I could have rebid later and got the room at a little lower price but overall the deal wasn't bad. I checked the Radisson Hotel web page and these rooms start at $159 US per night depending upon the season. I only bid for one night as a stay over on our trip to Hilton Head.

I later used Priceline.co.uk to bid on and win a room at the Hilton Head Marriot Beach and Golf Resort. I bid 65 Euro ($85 US) and won without a problem for July 31-Aug 4. I had tried on Priceline.com over the last 3 weeks and bid up to $90 US without any luck for the same hotel class (resort) and the same dates.

I live in the states and tried Priceline.co.uk on the off chance that I might get a better deal. It seemed to work.

Hmm... maybe I'll try that too. I'm also looking for a 1 night stay over on our way home from Charleston in March. Haven't had ANY luck with priceline.com. Do you have an easy way for me to figure out the exchange between dollars and euro?

I used Yahoo currency exchange. It gives you an accurate quote on the exchange rate, but keep in mind your credit card company may not offer the exact same rates and may charge a currency conversion fee (some do).
