Romelle Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 I'm trying to snatch a room in Downtown St Louis 4* hotel (preferably Hyatt at the Arch)for next week, on Priceline.com. Does anyone know how much should I bid?While there are lots of variables here, a reasonably safe start in 50% of the Priceline retail side rate. Of course you have to be willing to accept ANY 4* hotel within the map boundaries. You don't have a lot of time, so you might want to learn about free rebidding. It is the first post in the General Priceline Tips area.Romelle
egin94 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Posted October 25, 2011 How much should I bid on the 4* Hyatt Regency Riverfront (aka Hyatt Regency at the Arch) hotel for one room for the first week of November 2011 stay?Any suggestions?

egin94 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Posted October 25, 2011 From November 2 to November 7 and I think this hotel (Hyatt Regency Riverfront) is the only 4* hotel in downtown St Louis. Unfortunately, either because of the World Series (even though the games will be finished in 2 days) or upcoming Rams - Saints game this Sunday, the hotel charges more. Last year I was able to get it for around $50 per night for the exactly same time of the year.
AaronJB Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 If you bid 4* in this zone, you have to be willing to accept any of the 4*'s in this zone (there is no way to bid for a particular property); are you looking only for the Hyatt, or would you be willing to accept a different 4*?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
thereuare Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I think this hotel (Hyatt Regency Riverfront) is the only 4* hotel in downtown St Louis.From the Priceline Hotel List there are at least 5 hotels in this zone that are rated 4 stars.For this complete stay i think you will likely need to bid in excess of $100 (perhaps well in excess)However, rates are higher for 11/2-11/4 than for 11/4-11/7 which could make SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option. I think you could be successful for 11/4-11/17 at a 4* hotel for under $100/nite... but 11/2-11/4 will be much more difficult, and you may need to consider raising your budget for these nites, lowering your star rating, or considering a nearby zone.Not sure of your budget or if you're willing to change hotels mid-stay, but using the above as a guideline, let us know your thoughts as to how you'd like to proceed, and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

egin94 Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Posted October 27, 2011 I stopped at $117 for 11/2 - 11/7 4* in Downtown St. Louis. I am not paying more only because some idiots Texas Rangers and New Orleans Saints fans decided to overstay their welsome. Thanks for the help, though.
thereuare Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 However, rates are higher for 11/2-11/4 than for 11/4-11/7...Any interest in just traveling for the weekend dates as i think you could be successful for just these dates in the ~$80 area.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
