diamant Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Posted December 12, 2011 the marriott shows up as 235 a night on Expedia. if we could have a really nice 4 star hotel, with this being the bottom of the spectrum for 200 including taxes a night that would be great. I apologize it took me so long to get the inof. I used the service once last year when I was familiar with the area!

diamant Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Posted December 13, 2011 I didn't get anything, what is my next step. do I try the last few options again tomorrow and increase the bid start by $5??????? thanks
thereuare Posted December 13, 2011 Report Posted December 13, 2011 Is it worth it to you to bid higher than $200 given the rate at the Marriott? Is the $235 rate at the Marriott refundable? Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option? (i think you may be able to win something for 12/20-12/26... but would then need to change properties for the last nite of your stay) Are you able to find anything close to your desired budget and location at MAPS and HOTELS.com?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
