Priceline Hotel: 3* Austin (Downtown)

[albico]

Hello, this is my first post. Great forums!

I want to book a room for my brother in the Austin downtown area for these dates: 10/14/10 to 10/17/10 (Thursday thru Sunday). Is it better to break those dates up? Since it is downtown I am assuming that the week day (Thrusday) is more expensive than the weekends. Any suggestions?

I saw that a couple of folks won the Holidayy Inn Town Lake for $55, which seems like an perfect property for his stay. These bids were won back in June and July, should I bid the same, less? I would think that summer is the busy season but I have no clue really.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

P.s. I plan to use the PRICELINE link of course! :)

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

What would be your desired budget per night, and desired star rating?

This is an extremely busy set of dates in Austin and unfortunately rates are noticeably more expensive - HOTWIRE is showing a 3* for $154 and two grey/regular rate listings (one 3.5*, one 4*) for $229 & $230.

Thank you for using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

The desired budget is up to $60 per night plus the taxes but based on the info you provided it sounds like there would be a slim chance of getting that. He was hoping to stay in the downtown area and based on previous wins I thought it might work.

He may just have to be ok with switching areas.
