Priceline Hotel: saratoga springs NY

[kbaudo]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help on bidding advice for Saratoga Springs for October 12 for 2 nights. Best case, walking distance of downtown and indoor pool for the kids.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

It appears you may be more than double occupancy, and assuming that you are only looking for one room, note that PRICELINE only guarantees double occupancy, after that it's at the discretion of the hotel, and you could receive a room with only one bed. While you can call the hotel you win and request a room with two beds, the hotel may not be able, or willing, to honor your request. If this is not a risk you're willing to take, HOTWIRE may still be an option as they allow you to search for up to quad occupancy and ensure sleeping accommodations for everyone you include in your search (although this usually means two beds, the second 'bed' could be a sofabed, rollaway, etc)

Also, with PRICELINE there is no way to bid on a specific area of the zone and/or a hotel with an indoor pool. If these are important to you HOTWIRE (or PRICELINE EXPRESS) may be the better option as you can choose a hotel offer that shows an Indoor Pool amenity if this aspect is important to you, as well as take an educated guess as to the hotel offered based upon the amenities shown (which, assuming you guess correctly, can give you an idea of it is a location walkable to downtown)

Although both comments above point to HOTWIRE, the trade-off is that PRICELINE is usually a little cheaper than HOTWIRE.

Let us know your thoughts and how you'd like to proceed and we'll take it from there. If moving forward with HOTWIRE, please also let us know how many adults/children you will be.

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