ykh Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I would like to make sure I bid correctly to get the following hotels.Key West: 4* Hyatt Key Largo: 3* Hampton InnPlease suggest bidding strategy.Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 The Hyatt in Key West is "Resort" rated by PRICELINE and the Hampton Inn in Key Largo is 2* rated by PRICELINE, so that is the star rating you would want to use if you're trying to target either. HOWEVER, note that you're not, nor can you, bid on these specific hotels... if you bid Resort you could receive any resort rated property in the zone you select, and if you bid 2* you would receive any 2* or higher rated property.Let us know if you're ok with any hotel at the star rating you select and would like to move forward with bidding. If so, also let s know if you need any help with a bidding strategy.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 So, for key largo, I would like to get 3* hotel, can there be others besides those two listed? I mean what other hotels are in the same zone?From the top of the Priceline Hotel List:This list is NOT a complete list of all hotels that Priceline offers in this area, it is ONLY a compilation of hotels that have already been reported on this forum. Hotels are added/removed by Priceline all the time, and star ratings can change at ANY time...For Key West. I would shoot for the Hyatt Resort.You can't target a specific property when using PRICELINE, you have to be willing to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you select. Are you willing to accept any Resort rated hotel in this zone?Do you have two separate stays, once in Key West and one in Key Largo... or is this an either/or for one stay?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... please click this PRICELINE link before replying.

ykh Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I see.....it's a separate stay. For now, I would just use PRICELINE bidding for resort in Key West, please help me on this.Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 So for Key West...Are you able to accept any Resort rated hotel in the zone? What are the date(s) of your stay? What is your maximum bid?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

thereuare Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 At the Resort level you have TWO re-bid zones.
