Priceline Hotel: 4* Buenos Aires - Bidding Help

[Mhenrique]

Hey you,

after my success in Boston (thanks mates), I'm trying to bid (priceline) Buenos Aires 4* Hotel.

Dates: October 21 - October 24.

Max. bid: $65

Do you have tips for it? Thanks again.

Which PRICELINE zones are you willing to accept?

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

[Mhenrique]

Retiro - Recoleta area is my choice.

btw, there is an HOTWIRE offer: $43/night Retiro area, 4*. Amenities: Pet Friendly, Boutique Hotel, Business Center. do you have a guess?

[thereuare]

The Park Chateau Unique Hotel would be my best guess for the HOTWIRE property above.

Do you want to take this offer or try bidding on PRICELINE? If the latter, are you still using $65 as a maximum bid price?

[Mhenrique]

Yes. $65 max bid. Park Chateau Unique Hotel isnt so good. :( too much bad reviews... i think i will try priceline!

[thereuare]

When bidding 4* in Buenos Aires you have ONE re-bid zone. With time on your side i would bid as follows:

Select 4* Retiro - Recoleta...

Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone...

Bid $45

If the above is rejected i'd try every 24 hours over the next 4-5 days using the following bid pairs:

$48/$50, $53/$55, $58/$60, $63/$65

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

[Mhenrique]

thanks, I will do it. just a question: is sheraton libertador situated in this area (retiro - recoleta)?

i think PRICELINE changed buenos aires hotel areas since last betterbidding booking reference.

[thereuare]

According to the map i'm looking at the Sheraton Libertador would appear to be in the Retiro - Recoleta.

Actually I know where both Sheratons in central Buenos Aires are and looking at the PL zone map right now, they are both in the San Nicolas - Monserrat - San Telmo - Puerto Madero zone!

[thereuare]

MelP, besides the Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel and Convention Center, i'm seeing two other Sheraton properties with very similar sounding names:

5* Sheraton Libertador Buenos Aires

which PRICELINE plots in the San Nicolas - Monserrat - San Telmo - Puerto Madero zone, but then also lists the

4* Sheraton Libertador Hotel

which is in the Retiro - Recoleta.

Do you know if these are the same property and one is plotted incorrectly?

[Mhenrique]

thereuare:

these are the same. both refers to Sheraton Libertador Hotel (Cordoba 690), near galerias pacifico.

The 4* hotel is plotted incorrectly.

edit: any guess for 4* San Nicolas - Monserrat - San Telmo - Puerto Madero, 60usd/night Priceline Express deal? [free internet in room and restaurant are the amenities listed, rated 9.0]

edit2: considering MeIP is right, both Sheraton are located at SN/MS/ST/PM area.

[thereuare]

Please click each of these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links, then reply to this thread and we'll look at the PRICELINE EXPRESS property.

Please use the requested links for all your bidding, searches, and travel purchases.

Thanks.

[Mhenrique]

sorry. done, same results.

thanks.

[thereuare]

With just these two common amenities i don't have any insight into this one.

If you look at MAPS and HOTELS.com there are some 4* hotels around this same price that you may be able pick the one you want for not much more than this one. (NOTE: UNcheck all hotels rated less than 4* in order to unclutter the map.. then sort by price)

[Mhenrique]

thank you all. please close the topic.

booked with a local travel agency: NH Latino 4* with breakfast - 65USD/night tax included.

my tip: search for travel agencies. they have special prices quotas for NH and RH hotels in Bs. As. with good price (better than Hotels.com and similar)

PRICELINE still good for opaque books, btw.

Glad to see you found something that works for your needs and budget.

Thanks for closing this thread with your decision, have a great trip!
