Priceline Hotel: Key West Resort Question

[Mynoles1]

I want to use PL for the first time. I've searched this board and seen quite a few stories about people getting the Hyatt Key West Resort & Marina. My question is simple, but yet perhaps impossible to answer.

What are my odds of getting the Hyatt over the Wyndham(s)? I see that both have hit, but I really want the Hyatt (anniversary - we spent our honeymoon there), but I just can't pay the rack rate.

What are the odds (September 2005 trip)? Anything in advance I could do to enhance my chances?

Thanks, my first post here.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Give this thread a read for starters: DON'T BID HIGHER FOR A SPECIFIC HOTEL

You can also check Hotwire to see if you can identify which hotel they are offering.

We can help on either count... if you want to move forward let us know the actual dates of your stay.

Hotwire wasn't much help.

I am looking at staying 9/15, for 3 nights, or can change it to 9/16 for 2 nights. If nothing else, I'd like the benefit of opinions on the chances that I will get the Hyatt over the Wyndhams. 50/50? Less?

I figured that bidding more wouldn't enhance my chances of getting the Hyatt, so I was not thinking of doing that. I just like the idea of our recent successful bidders of getting a sub-$100 rate!

Thanks in advance.

Both the HYATT and the WYNDHAM appear to be sold-out for your dates, so the chances of you getting either of them are greatly diminished, although sometimes we do see users win properties that show sold-out on the hotel's website.
