Priceline Hotel: Bidding New Haven

[owl45]

Hi,

I'm looking to bid for a place New Haven - Downtown for 10/6 - 10/8 and have tried bidding a number of times now in the last week (starting at $65) based on previous wins seen here. Most recently I tried starting at 85 (for a 3* Downtown), then rebidding by adding West Haven and East Haven (which only go up to 2.5*) going up to 95$ to no avail. What gives? Do I just need to keep upping my bids? Perfectly reasonable, but based on all the wins I've seen it looks like people have been able to keep their wins under 90$, so I'm wondering if somehow I messed it up.

Thanks!

Welcome to Betterbidding.

If you are having bids coming back as not accepted, you are not doing anything wrong - it's just that, unfortunately, these may be busy dates for some reason. Rates can vary substantially from day-to-day, and what one user may get for one day often does not indicate what may be required for a date a week later.

The New Haven-West Haven zone on HOTWIRE is showing only a 3* for $266 for these dates - if it comes down to it, are any surrounding areas acceptable?

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

Using MAPS and HOTELS.com what is the best rate you're able to find at an acceptable hotel in this area?

Thanks.
