inspiration100 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 p.s. I did some fail priceline bidding, should I post it here or in a different thread? Thanks. The Seattle hotel guy....

thereuare Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Keep all posts for this stay in this thread, if you ultimately use PRICELINE the post will automatically move to the correct section of the board when you click the "EDIT TO REPORT WIN" button on the lower right of this page.Please post only the amenity names (and not the descriptions) as you can see how much easier it is to read and helps minimize the chance that we'll miss an amenity when researching your trip.CasinoSmoke FreeFitnessPoolRestaurantBusinessHi-Speed InternetGolfSpaBlind AccessibleDeaf AccessibleFree InternetTravel AccessibleRoom AccessibleWheelchair AccessibleBathroom AccessibleHandicapped ParkingRoll-in ShowerBest guess for the property above is the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel and Casino.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

inspiration100 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks, that was my thought too.My PRICELINE bidding strategy has been a little different because I have two days I can work with. Check in is set for the 22nd, but I can depart either the 26th or the 27th. This gives me many rebid opportunities.None the less, I have gone up to $115 on both checkout days with no luck using the Resort rating for the San Juan zone. From other wins reported, this seems a little ridiculous, and I see nothing in December on HOTWIRE has resort zones for San Juan. Am I simply bidding too early? Anyone have any expertise on this zone? I've also checked LMT, no really good deals there either. Any other site I should be checking? Thanks! The Seattle hotel guy....

thereuare Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Check in is set for the 22nd, but I can depart either the 26th or the 27th.Your post above indicates a 12/31 check-out.. is this not correct?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

inspiration100 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I have decided to split my vacation up and spend half the time on U.S. Virgin Islands and half the time in Puerto Rico. Thus, my checkout will now be the 26th. Thanks. The Seattle hotel guy.... Stayed in 14 hotels downtown and counting! Favorite Hotel Downtown: The Camlin Seattle (It's now a timeshare) Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 This is high season for this area, so while you may ultimately win at current prices or may need to raise your maximum bid, it may be too early for hotels to be offering deep discounts, as they instead hold onto rooms and hope to sell them at full price.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

inspiration100 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thank you thereuare,I used your PRICELINE link and then used a $10 per night priceline bonus voucher and landed the Radisson Ambassador for $81 ($71 with voucher). 3.5*Check IN: Sat, Dec 22, 2012 / After 02:00 PMCheck-Out: Wed, Dec 26, 2012 / 12:00 PMIt'll work fine. I wanted a resort, but with this amount of savings, I am happy. I will be booking another resort style hotel someplace around Puerto Rico and will use your link for that too.Thanks!
