Priceline Hotel: Phoenix (Scottsdale) Bidding Help Mar 16-20

[mattsregister]

Visiting grandma in Scottsdale, and need to stay nearby (in this zone). Would of course love a resort or 4*, but fine with any of the 3*.

Have gone three days re-trying requests after 24 hrs, and most recently rejected at the following:

Resort $96

re-bid add 4* $96

re-bid add 3.5* $81

re-bid add 3* $81

Linked through the PRICELINE link from here.

Wondering how how things may go. Willing to spend around $90 for a 3*, or just over $100 for higher stars; but it must be spring break or something as prices are higher than what has been posted on the board for this area.

Suggestions?

It's Baseball Spring Training and fans flock to this area to see their favorite teams (and players) play in a more intimate setting and get more upc lose then they're typically able... unless prices drop substantially you're going to nee to compromise some aspect of your stay by increasing your budget, lowering your star rating or adding other nearby zones. Would North Scottsdale work for your needs at all?

Yes - have tried adding both North Scottsdale and Tempe.

We're up to the following now:

Scotstdale Resort $110

Re-bid add 4* $110

Re-bid add 3.5* $95

Re-bid add Tempe $88

Re-bid add 3* $70

Re-bid add North Scottsdale $70

Had thought prices may be lower in Tempe and N. Scottsdale, but apparently not. Will keep increasing those bids and hopefully get something. Any other suggestions?

Can you adjust your dates to the 15th-19th? If so, there are all kinds of Scottsdale rentals on ebay right now at really low rates. Most run Saturday to Saturday. I got the Westin Kierland for $125/night on craigslist, but there are other properties much cheaper, like the Sheraton.
