WPBdiver Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Bidding for a five day stay in Palm Beach Gardens. Typically, either the Marriott or the Doubletree are available. As of this post, (March 25, 2011) Doubletree is totally sold out (very unusual and hotel is showing no major events at this time) and Marriott's was $149 from their hotel sites. Also noticed Embassy Suites and Hampton Inn (both Hilton properties though not necessarily on Priceline) were at $116 and $84 respectively. Thought this might as least reflect area market conditions.I started bidding at $50 and used rebids to up my price to $70. All were not successful. (Interesting Airport zone and West Palm Beach used to be rebids at 3.5* last year now they have increases in quality level rendering them unusable). Bid HistoryStarted at 3* with $50 on Singer IslandAdded 3.5* and raised bid to $55Added Palm Beach Gardens at $60Added Jupiter at $65Added Central Palm Beach at $70Was unsuccessful across the board. Will try later and post back.Used the PRICELINE link from the boards for the bids. Link to comment

WPBdiver Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Bidding for again for the five day stay in Palm Beach Gardens. As of this post, (April 23, 2011) Doubletree is at $80.10 and Marriott's was $149 from their hotel sites. Started bidding again at $50 and used rebids to up my price to $65. All were not successful. Bid HistoryStarted at 3* with $50 on Singer IslandAdded Palm Beach Gardens and 3.5* at $55Added Jupiter at $60Added Central Palm Beach at $65Was unsuccessful across the board again. Will book the Doubletree as a safety at $80 and try again later. There is a little league baseball tournament going on in the area at my time of travel and Doubletree is one of the hotels for the event. I guess when I tried a month ago, the rooms were blocked out and now they have opened to the public.Used the PRICELINE link from the boards for the bids.FYI - If you book with Hilton MVP promotion, rate falls to $71.20 and is cancellable. The MVP rpogram is available for most Hilton properties.hiltonhhonors.com/landingpages/mvp.aspx Link to comment
