Steveccb Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 I have been trying to get a hotel in Santa Rosa for 3 days in August 2011 but I am having no luck. I have been bidding $50-55-60 despite seeing previous wins for $45-50. Ideally I will get the 3.5* Flamingo as that is where other people are staying (I'm over for a wedding) but I'd be happy with other 3.5* places in the vicinity. Should I be bidding more because of the time of year (i.e August)?Any hints/tips/advice would be greatly welcomed.

Steveccb Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Posted April 12, 2011 Replied to message and have been using the links as I am a frequent visitor to the site.Any help on my question is appreciated. Should I be upping my bid for a stay in August? Is 3 nights less likely to yield a good price?
Colfax Posted April 13, 2011 Report Posted April 13, 2011 What are your exact travel dates in August?
