Priceline Hotel: 4* Paris

[mikesn02]

This one has driven me nuts. I got a hotel in London for $85/night +tax, but can't seem to do the same in Paris. Looking from 5/10-5/13, anywhere except for La Defense. Location preferences as follows: Champs Elysees, Opera Quarter, Latin Quarter, Eiffel Tower, Montmarte, & Bastille.

Is this a futile effort or will I get this by continuin to bid $85/night? I feel like that should turn up something in all of Paris. That being said, I have never been to Paris and may be way out of touch.

Any advice would be helpful.

I don't think that $85 is realistic with the current rates. It's hard to give an estimate but i think you're looking at $125+

What would your max budget/night be before tax fee?

What is the best rate you're able to find at a 4* property thru conventional booking channels?

Seeing some 4* in the areas I am looking at for $140 to start. Most of the hotels are $180 or over. On Expedia I am seeing a 4* in Louve-Marais area for $122.

Most of the hotels are $180 or over...

Which help explain why your $85 bids are being rejected :)

Given your next best deal is at $120/nite (is that hotel acceptable??) how high are you willing to bid for Paris?
