Priceline Hotel: NEW to betterbidding and need help

[danghan]

Hello!

I am planning on going to Hollywood, Florida from Thursday, April 11 to April 14th or 15th. Any plans on how to get the best rate (flight and/or hotel).

I appreciate any help!

Thank you,

Welcome to Betterbidding.

Please start a new thread in the airfare section for that portion of your purchase.

In terms of hotel, please let us know more about what you are looking for - star rating, budget per night, desired star rating and any other details.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for your help. I was thinking 3+ stars. Budget is open but would like to get the most for my money. Ideally I would like to be close to the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida on Seminole Way (but willing to be 5-10 miles away).

The Hollywood, FL Priceline bidding zone looks to be about 5 miles long so fits within your 5-10 mile desire.

What about the adjacent FLL airport zone? A little further out.

And the Downtown zone? Still further, but within 10 miles.

Maybe you could study those zone maps a bit and decide just which ones you find acceptable.

Are you familiar with re-bidding techniques? At the 3* level you have one available zone.

Before jumping into bidding, also take a look at what Hotwire (upper left hand corner) and Priceline Express have to offer. Bidding on Priceline usually will get you the most for your money, but sometimes a better or easier deal appears on one of these.

Hi Romelle,

I am familiar with any of the re-bidding techniques, however I did just take a look at a map of the location. The two areas that would be best suitable for me would be South of FLL airport, FLL airport area and the Hollywood area. If I place a bid for those area at let's say $40/night, what hotels would I most likely get? Again, sorry if I am being repetitive.

You can see the hotels that have been reported to the board here: Priceline Hotel List Florida. There is no way to know what hotel or hotels may be more likely for your date/s - if you bid 4* in a particular zone you have to be willing to accept any 4* in the zone. The list provides what has been reported to the board, changes may happen at any time. What would be your desired max bid per night for this stay?
