juslucky Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 We are travelling to Niagra Falls this next Sunday. We'd like to stay on the Canada side. I've booked a hotel, but would love to get a great price for a 4* with a last-minute bid. Can you help?I'm new to this process. Can you give me some advice?Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 We are travelling to Niagra Falls this next Sunday.Would this mean 9/26 or 10/3??Where and how much is your current reservation? What is your maximum bid for a 4* hotel thru PRICELINE?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.PS- please follow-up your previous Priceline New Orleans thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay.

juslucky Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 We are going 9/26. The hotel we have now is $129 for the Marriott. Anything under $100 would be great. What do you think I should bid?When we went to New Orleans, we had to stay in the hotel where the conference was, so I did not use PRICELINE.Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 When we went to New Orleans, we had to stay in the hotel where the conference was, so I did not use PRICELINE.Nobody reading your New Orleans hotel thread will know to look here to learn that you chose to book direct with the conference hotel and not use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE... please update that thread so anyone reading it in the future will have a conclusion rather then left wondering.Then bump this thread and we'll suggest a strategy for your Niagara Falls stay above.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 HOTWIRE has a 4* hotel for $93 with Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Internet, Business icons. This combination matches multiple hotels... the Doubletree Resort and Spa, Hilton Niagara Falls Fallsview, and Sheraton Fallsview have all been reported with this combination in the past, so any of these would be my best guess (although a different hotel is possible as well)Do you want to go with this HOTWIRE offering or try to bid on PRICELINE?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

juslucky Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'd like to try PRICELINE. What price would you suggest I start with? Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 At the 4* level you have FOUR re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Niagara Falls...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.
