Adamz Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Posted July 7, 2010 I bid $87 today for the weekdays and then switched to weekend at $92. Both rejected.Not sure what my maximum is, but I might have just hit it. I see on this Forum that the Hampton Inn South Haven was once won on Priceline. Would like to stay there. On Hampton Inn's site, the rate is $139 for the first night and $189 for the second night. Some other hotels in this city, in this class, appear to be ~$135 for each night. It is a resort town, popular on summer weekends like the one I am bidding on later this month, but I figured with the down economy, they might be flexible (as I know they still have rooms available).

Adamz Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Posted July 8, 2010 I don't have a back-up plan so I probably just will not go.
thereuare Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 If you're at your maximum bid all you can do is continue to try... if you decide you're willing to add other zones to stay in a nearby area or increase your bid let us know if we can help with an updated strategy.PLEASE remember to use the requested PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your bidding.Good luck and let us know how this ultimately works out (if you if you decide prices are too high and choose not to go) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
AaronJB Posted July 8, 2010 Report Posted July 8, 2010 There definitely looks like something going on on these dates in the area, as Expedia shows 12 hotels in the area and only 1 available for these dates (the Americinn Saugatuck for $142.)Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
