Ontariogirl Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 HelloI'm new to Priceline so please be gentle with me!I'd like to book a 4* in Downtown South in Toronto for the nights of Fri 22 April (Good Friday), Sat, 23 and Sun 23 (Easter Sunday).I'm planning to start bidding at $75 USD and add zones if necessary (I've read about this and think I understand it). The most I am prepared to pay is $104 USD.My question is: as the Downtown South hotels on Priceline seem to be business hotels (and presumably most business will be closed over the Easter weekend) should I bid now or will it be fine to wait until early March? Many thanks for your help.
yellowdog Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!My question is: as the Downtown South hotels on Priceline seem to be business hotels (and presumably most business will be closed over the Easter weekend) should I bid now or will it be fine to wait until early March?Is true that many places will be closed during Easter. But Easter is also a big "travel holiday" so many hotel are busy with a different "clientele" then they are used to. I would say that if your plans are firm and you're ready to book a non-refundable reservation so go for it.Also read this link: Should i Bid Early or Close to Arrival Date Let us know and we'll help you with a bidding strategy.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Yellowdog.
