Hotel: Palomar

Stars: 4

Location: Downtown

City: Philadelphia

Dates: Dec27 to 29

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

There is no way to ensure/increase the odds of getting a particular property. When bidding, one has to be willing to accept any property at the chosen star rating within the zone/s selected (for example, 4* Downtown.) Is the Palomar the only hotel of interest? This property has been reported to the board on HOTWIRE, but the poster did not confirm the list of amenities associates with it.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Hi, Palomar is preferred, but if there's no way of trying to single it out then I can accept any 4 star hotel downtown. Thanks.

When bidding 4* in this area you have FIVE re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.

Select 4* Downtown...

Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $70

The above may be too low, but with time on your side, i'd start here and if rejected we'll revise to try again in 24 hours. Any questions feel free to ask.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Hi, thanks for the help and sorry for responding so late. I actually ended up staying at the hotel without going through PRICELINE / HOTWIRE because of a promotion i saw they were having. Thanks again.
