Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Hilton Quebec

[matt4670]

Hi,

-Been bidding for the Quebec city area using the PRICELINE link as recommended.

-Prefer to stay close to the Old City and at least 3.5 stars.

-Party will have 4 adults plus a baby so two rooms would be better.

-The stay is for 3 nights from 7/1 to 7/4.

-Bidded for 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, to no avail. I used both my wifes and my accounts to place bids alternatively.

Question: I've seen lots of posters had won $50 hotels with 3.5 star rating. I understand the time slot is critical but I really don't want to spend more than 70 bucks since I'll be paying for 6 rooms all together. I never got the counter-offer. I also tried the 'expand the zone, increase the star' approach, again, to no avail.

I also tried Hotwire and the hotel close to Old City is $129. I'm not sure if it's for a 2-bedded room. How can I check? Nevertheless, not really willing to pay that much.

Please help. What did I do wrong? Did I miss something?

I've been a long time lurker and never used PL/HW. I found this site very helpful. Anyway, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I never received any counter offer or tips about how much I should add to my bid. Why?

Thanks in advance.

Rates are date specific so you can't really compare them.

If you have reached your max is your only option to start over and bid for 3* or wait and see if PRICELINE get any additional inventory.

It's no standard on PRICELINE that you get this.

Thanks for the comments.

One more question: is the bidding/winning price including tax and service charge?

Thanks

[yellowdog]

All PRICELINE/HOTWIRE bids include tax/booking fee.There is no more fees from HOTWIRE or PRICELINE when you have the hotel confirmed.

I hope this answer your question.

Please follow-up this thread with whatever you end up doing, even if you chose to book direct, cancell your trip, etc.

For that time frame you're looking at about $95/night +/- a few bucks depending how lucky you are. I booked 7/1-7/3 for that much. Scored the Hilton which is a 3.5*.

Good luck!
