Priceline Hotel: Another Downtown Nashville Question

[Bama Fan]

I am also looking for a downtown Nashville for an upcoming weekend trip. If priceline downtown Nashville is only showing three 3 1/2 star hotels for downtown Nashville. Could you be fairly certain you would be bidding for one of the three on a 3 1/2 star?

This may be a dumb question so don't bash me too hard.

Not a dumb question, although you would expect it to be one of those three listed, there may not be another listed if they dont have rooms on at the exact time you searched and the dates u selected when checking, but may release rooms at any given moment. Look at the Pinned Priceline Hotel list and compare with your information. Beware going past 3* Hotels in the DT Nashville area, as some 2.5* are in not so pleaseant areas near DT.

FYI: All the 3.5 * Hotels I have stayed at in DT Nashville using Priceling bidding have been superb. Based on my experience $55-75 is what u should expect to pay for 3.5* in DT Nashville, on weekend using the bids.

Thanks Jason.

I just checked again and there are four 3 1/2 *s listed. I'll wait and see if it goes back to 3 and bid then.

Bama Fan,

Welcome to BetterBidding!

NOTE that the 'retail' side of PRICELINE and the 'bidding' side of PRICELINE each use a different universe of hotels, so you can't (and shouldn't) use the retail listings to determine what you will get when using the bidding side of their service. See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ.

Is there specific property that you're trying to target or avoid?

I'm trying to narrow it down to just downtown Nashville. Preferably within walking distance of clubs and other "things to do" for a weekend trip. I haven't narrowed down my dates yet but sometime in August.

Take a really close look at the PRICELINE map of the downtown area before you start bidding. You have to be prepared to land anywhere on that map.

I'd have a look at HOTWIRE as they divide separate this area into two different zones, "Downtown-Metrocenter" and "Vanderbilt Univ. - West End - Music Row". As well, you can take an educated guess as to the property being offered to ensure (assuming you guess correctly) that the hotel is in the part of the zone you want t be. Additionally, you can use the location rating from previous HOTWIRE guests to at least get a feel if the hotel is well located or not (while a 4.0 rating won't ensure that it's where you're looking to stay, you know that a 3.0 is probably not where you want to stay). HOTWIRE will likely cost a little more then PRICELINE, but it will give you a little more control over where within the zone you'd like to be (as well as the zone being geographically smaller)

Once your dates are firm let us know what you're seeing and we'll try to assist further.
