thesqueegeekid Posted August 4, 2003 Author Report Posted August 4, 2003 The Crowne Plaza is not accepting my bid for another room for Aug 24th to Sept 6th. I noticed too that on Hotwire ... the 3* which was priced $35 has gone up to $40.I might just give up my own room which I have from the 25th to 3rd .. and just bid for the other nights. I got my room for *6+10*. We have some extra rooms at the Holiday Inn or I could/should live at home if I can break out of my staying in hotels habit.I will be at the wedding ... I am a best man/chauffeur/etc etc etc.
thereuare Posted August 4, 2003 Report Posted August 4, 2003 Since this stay if for multiple nites, have you tried seeing if the Hotwire rate comes down at all if you only search for a shorter time frame? There may be one nite that is preventing your winning bid from being accepted, if you can single out that nite (from looking at Hotwire prices or even prices at the hotel's website) maybe you could successfully bid Priceline for those dates and then use Hotwire for the additional nite(s) or just use one of your other options for the additional nite(s).

Scorp Posted August 4, 2003 Report Posted August 4, 2003 Since this stay if for multiple nites, have you tried seeing if the Hotwire rate comes down at all if you only search for a shorter time frame? I think it is the date of August 31. If you break it down to Aug 24 - 30, I see a 3* on Hotwire for $35/night and for September 1 - 6, it is only $33. But if you include August 31, all nights jump to $40.
Scorp Posted August 4, 2003 Report Posted August 4, 2003 I could/should live at home if I can break out of my staying in hotels habit.Careful! You might find yourself calling your mom in the middle of the night for Room Service! :)
