mjgarg212 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Hello I am looking to try to get a 4 star hotel in Baltimore for 1 night in the Inner Harbor. I was looking on priceline and it looks like there are not many 4 stars in other zones. Can someone help me on what to bid to get the best rate possible. I need two rooms for June 29th. Thanks in advance for your help!!
AaronJB Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Welcome to Betterbidding.What would be your desired max budget per night for this stay?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
mjgarg212 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Posted February 28, 2013 I am looking to spend no more than 150 a night if possible. I actually dont NEED a 4 star but would prefer. I actually just need a hotel that will be super close to Camden yards as i will be going to the game that night. So when looking on priceline it looked like holiday Inn is a 2 1/2 star which i wouldn't mind staying at. Bottom line is i want to win a cheap hotel by Camden yards.Thanks so much
thereuare Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 If you look at the zone boundaries of the 'Downtown-Inner Harbor' zone are you willing to stay anywhere within the zone boundaries?If so, when bidding 4* in the Baltimore area you have NINE 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* Downtown-Inner Harbor...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $130, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $135, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $140, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $145, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $150Any questions feel free to ask.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

mjgarg212 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Posted March 5, 2013 I tried this bidding you described above and didn't get anything :( any suggestions on how i can get a hotel close to Camden Yards in the inner harbor the star level does not matter too much but nothing below 2 and 1/2Thanks!!
Romelle Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 You've got quite a lot of time left. It is possible the hotels simply haven't given rooms to Priceline yet. You may want to just keep trying 4*s for a while - every few days or weekly. You could try bidding at the 3 1/2* level if you want to try something else right now. There are only 7 free-rebid zones at that star level, so you'd have to slight adjust the bidding plan thereuare gave you.Romelle

mjgarg212 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Posted June 10, 2013 Bump...I am revisiting this search as i need this in about a little over 2 weeks. I think i was wayyy to early before. Looking for a 2 rooms close to Camden Yards 2.5 star or higher. Looks like the prices jumped!! I am going to the Yankees game not sure if that is why. Thanks for your help!
yellowdog Posted June 10, 2013 Report Posted June 10, 2013 Looks like the prices jumped!!Prices are sky high for the few hotels that are left in the Downtown-Inner Harbor zone. I think you need to start looking at diffrent zones. Do you have have a car with you?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.Yellowdog.

mjgarg212 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Posted June 11, 2013 Yes i will be bringing a car. Any other good spots to stay that are close to Oriole Stadium?
AaronJB Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I'm not familiar with the outlying areas of Baltimore/transit options, but HOTWIRE has a 3.5* for $80 for these date/s. Anything downtown or fairly close to downtown looks EXTREMELY expensive.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
mjgarg212 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Posted August 22, 2013 I ended up staying at a friends house for this as he was out of town and we were able to take over the place. But the reason the prices sky rocketed was because of the yankees game that weekend. Thanks for your help!
