vacationmom Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 Last minute chance for a driving vacation and I would LOVE to get Marriott resort in Hilton Head for 8/3/-8/9. It appears (from list of amenities) that HOTWIRE only has Crowne Plaza. PRICELINE's regular price for Marriott is higher than their Crowne Plaza price. Do I have any chance of bidding on Priceline and getting the Marriott? Any chance Marriott resort will appear on HOTWIRE or is the check in date too close to hope for that?
yellowdog Posted July 22, 2010 Report Posted July 22, 2010 Welcome to BetterBidding :) You can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE. You need to be willing to stay at any Resort in the zone you're bidding at.It's impossible to say if the Marriott will appear on HOTWIRE for your dates. You can try and change the nuber of guests on HOTWIRE. Sometimes will you get a diffrent result when doing that.Let us know how we can help you further.

Please follow-up this thread with whatever you end up doing, even if you chose to book direct, cancell your trip, etc.
vacationmom Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Posted July 22, 2010 My question regarding Priceline was if their price is quite a bit higher for the Marriott than the Crowne Plaza (on their regular booking site, not the blind one), then does it stand to reason that when bidding (on their name your own price side), I will get the Crowne Plaza as it appears they have more rooms to give away? Or, in your experience, is their no correlation between the two?

And the Marriott chain can have really high rack rates but you can score rooms at PRICELINE for a 1/3 of the price sometimes. You never know.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Yellowdog.
