sandman849 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hello,Starting bidding through the provided PRICELINE link for a 3.5 Star Hotel in Harrisburg, PA for 5/31 thru 6-3 (Thur-Sun). Started at a low $40 (seeing prices from last year fell in the $40-70 range). Rejected at $40, added re-zone bids at 50, 60, 65, 70, up to $77. Rejected for all. Will try again in the future. Am I booking to far in advance for deep discounts? Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!Chris Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 There is no way to know if prices will come down between now and your stay, or if they will continue even higher, but with your stay more than 4 months away, i wouldn't chase this one too much (for more on 'when to bid' see the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ)Do you know of anything happening in the area over these dates that would increase hotel demand?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

sandman849 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Won a Priceline hotel with the link: Wingate By Wyndham in Harrisburg, PA. Did not expect this hotel as it was listed as a 3 star hotel on the priceline list provided on Better Bidding, it is now a 2.5 star hotel. Hotel has so-so reviews, I am not scared yet, location and a free breakfast help. Reviews say the beds are comfortable so that is a must for me. First bid of $50 was accepted. Link to comment
thereuare Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 While not the property you were expecting, hope you're pleased with the price and this property will be convenient for your needs.I actually think this is a new hotel for the Priceline Hotel List. There are actually TWO Wingate by Wyndham properties in this zone, as well as a Wyndham Garden. Is this the Wingate By Wyndham - Harrisburg at 1344 Eisenhower Blvd? If so, this is different than the previously reported 3* Wyndham Garden and would be a new listing to the board.Can you please add a reply to this thread confirming the address of the property you received.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay... hope it exceeds your expectations.
