the8teesgirl Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 Heading up Sat 8/13 for just one night.....anyone know what downtown 3* or 4*'s have been going for? When we stayed in early July (tail end of the Jazz Fest), we got the Hyatt for like 60 bucks....Any "special events" happening right now?Thanks - M
thereuare Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 How about first posting a follow-up to your original MONTREAL PRICELINE stay... this board is only useful if you follow-up your posts with the results.

the8teesgirl Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Posted August 11, 2005 Sorry about that....I'm the researcher in the group and my friend is the one who did the bidding....let me check with her...Downtown Montreal for 7/9 (one night)Bid 3* for $60Accepted at the Hyatt Total charges with taxes = $74.65(Did self parking for 8 bucks canadian)- M
the8teesgirl Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Posted August 11, 2005 General question since I don't think I've seen it anywhere on the site....We always tend to bid right before we travel to try to get the best deals (hotels trying to fill their rooms) but I keep seeing folks posting for stays weeks and months in the futre.....Is one more advantageous over the other??Thanks - m
thereuare Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 I prefer to bid early while making sure you don't overbid, but here is a thread on this subject:SHOULD I BID EARLY or CLOSE TO ARRIVALIf you'd like a suggested bidding strategy please let us know your maximum bid.

the8teesgirl Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Posted August 12, 2005 Our maximum bid would be $65. Prefer a 3* but the only must have is that it be downtown.
thereuare Posted August 12, 2005 Report Posted August 12, 2005 There are no re-bid zones available at the 3* level and you've left yourself no 72 hours periods in order to retry (which is why we recommend bidding early rather than late)... what is your back-up and/or where will you stay (and how much) if not successful on Priceline?

the8teesgirl Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Posted August 12, 2005 There are three of us - so if we have to, we can make separate bids if the previous one is rejected.
the8teesgirl Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Posted August 12, 2005 Forget strategy this time around - my friend went on and bid already....Montreal - Sat 8/13Bid: 3* for $60 (downtown)Accepted at the Hyatt RegencyBid $60.00 +$14.79 tax = $74.69 total
