thereuare Posted August 27, 2012 Report Posted August 27, 2012 You don't say how high you are willing to bid for a 4* hotel before switching gears and trying for a less expensive 3.5* property. Since time is of the essence, i'd suggest the following:When bidding the 4* level in Atlanta you have 15 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* Perimeter...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $58, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $63, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $68, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $73, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75I think the above has a good shot, but if rejected post back with just how high you're willing to bid for a 4* hotel before lowing your star rating or adding another zone, and we'll then take it from there.Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

jfl Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Posted August 27, 2012 Started on PRICELINE looking for 4* in Perimeter, but gave up after dropping to 3* and bidding up to $57 using re-bid zones. Went over to HOTWIRE.Hyatt Place Galleria2876 Spring Hill Pkwy., Smyrna, GA, 30080 (770) 384-0060AmenitiesSmoke Free RoomsFitness CenterPool(s)Business CenterHigh-Speed Internet AccessAccessible for the blindAccessible for the deafFree ParkingFree BreakfastAccessible path of travelIn-room accessibilityAccessible bathroomHandicapped parkingThe hotel has a 100% rating on Tripadvisor. It's a nice hotel, but kind of far out of the way for working the Atlanta area.
