Priceline Hotel: Help 4* South Beach - Collins Avenue Oceanfront

[chujustin]

I've been bidding 2 days now. I want to find a 4* South Beach - Collins Avenue Oceanfront hotel for April 12 to 15. I used all my 5 rebids both days. Really hoped I won the Surfcomber (where my friends are staying). That hotel is listed at $328 for that weekend on Priceline.

These are the prices I tried:

Day 1

195 (won at this price for the following week by a fellow forum member)

200

205

210

215

220

All failed.

Day 2

221

225

231

241

251

261

All failed again.

Any advice guys?

Thanks

How high are you willing to bid before lowering your star rating to a 3.5* property?

HOTWIRE has what i believe to be the Surfcomber for $305/nite, if that's worth it to you to have a high probability of being at the same hotel as your friends.

i was not able to win any hotels that weekend. I ended up booking through PRICELINE's non-bidding side. paid 290 a night for the surfcomber, was pride weekend, had no choice.
