lililili Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I found that just this month people got $48 for 4* in Miami Coral Gables. I tried $50,$55,$60, no luck. And I even included Southwest Miami and Dadeland as well as 3.5 and 3*, still no luck for $55. Is there any events going on in that weekend?I will post once I win. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Rates are higher then usual for your dates so something (be it the holiday weekend or some other event, conference, etc) is taking place. At one 4* hotel i checked direct rates started at $220/nite, making your maximum bid so far a third of conventionally booked rates, which is a low probability of success.Also, if you look at HOTWIRE for these dates most of the inventory is 'retail' (where the name of the hotel and price are both shown) which implies they haven't been given much opaque inventory for these dates, so PRICELINE may not have much either. As well, there is a 4* hotel offered 'opaque' for $155/nite, but this prices also confirms that you're $60 bid is much too low (and $100+ seems more likely/realistic)Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
