MCTX Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Any idea on where to start bidding for a 3-4* hotel in Key West 7/15/2011-7/17/2011? This is a weekend.

thereuare Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 This is historically a tough PRICELINE zone and very deep discounts are not that readily available.Most 3* and higher wins are in excess of $100+ (often well in excess), what is your maximum bid for this stay? What is the best deal you're able to find thru conventional booking channels?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

aSiAnRiCk Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 MCTX, were you able to get any hotel in July via PRICELINE bidding? I am having a similar issue and want to know your experience. Thank you.

MCTX Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Posted June 12, 2011 Nope--nothing. My bidding history is too complicated and long at this point to post here, but I've gone all the way up to $140 for a 3.5 star and still got nothing.

Romelle Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 I struggled with getting a Key West hotel earlier this spring. Long saga, but at the end I won one of my nights with a 2 1/2* at $126. Very nice place though, and I put a review in the Hotel Reviews section - Fairfield Inn. For my second night, Priceline would have let me extend my bid, but only at a whopping $165. I booked a different place directly for $129 (a tad seedy, but was shelter for the night). Do look up some of the hotel web site rack rates to get a better understanding of the situation for your dates. When Key West is busy, rates get really high. I considered staying at some of the earlier islands, clear back near Miami, and even back at Fort Myers (taking the ferry to Key West). In the end I decided I really wanted to experience a couple nights there.Hope you find something.Romelle
