Priceline Hotel: Priceline bidding, do you get the cheapest one?

[jonmar]

I'm thinking of bidding for a 10 night stay in Waikiki for April. If I check my dates as paying full freight the two cheapest resorts are the Outriggers. Can I assume this is what I will end up with when I bid?

When bidding, you have to consider the prices of the possibilities, but that definitely does not mean that you will necessarily get the cheapest of the possibilities.

What are the exact dates of travel?

We are looking to go April 3-13, 2011.

Actually we would pay a bit higher to avoid the Outriggers. Wife wants a 'resort' pool.

While you may not get the cheapest possibility if you bid, it is certainly still very possible - if you bid higher to try to get something else, you could wind up getting the hotel you didn't want and overpaying.

If you really want to try to avoid a particular property, then HOTWIRE - where one can make an educated guess as to what's showing based upon the information showing.
