Priceline Hotel: Need help with 2.5* or 2* for Druid Hills/Emory area

[nocrackup]

On the priceline list, it mentions the following hotels for the Druid Hills-Emory area:

2.5* = Hampton Inn Atlanta/North Druid Hills

2* = Extended Stay America Atlanta-Clairmont

Does that mean that if I bid for a 2.5* or 2* hotel in Atlanta (and my bid is accepted), I will automatically get one of those hotels?

If I select a 2* hotel in Druid Hills/Emory area and my bid is accepted, I am FOR SURE going to stay in that Extended Stay America? Or are there other hotels that may be given?

I am currently searching for 1/8-1/12 hotels in that area that are 2.5* or 2* ratings... Plz help - thank you!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Noted at the top of the lists is that the lists provide the hotels reported to the board, they are not complete. New hotels are reported to the board pretty much on a daily basis.

Additionally, your bid can get upgraded to the next highest star rating.

Overall, you have to be willing to accept any hotel at the star rating (or higher, if you are upgraded) chosen in the zone/s chosen.

Are you willing to accept any hotel in the zone? What would be your desired budget per night?

Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Thank you for your reply! So can my bid get downgraded to a lower star level also? I would not want that... the lowest I'm willing to go is 2 stars, and the zone I want is specifically druid hills/emory.

My desired budget per night would be at most ~45$ per night?

The star rating you select is the minimum that you are willing to accept, so you could always get upgraded to a higher rated hotel, but you won't be downgraded to a lower rated hotel than the star rating you have chosen.

If you want to move forward, when bidding 2* in the Atlanta region you have TWO 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 2* Druid Hills-Emory...

Bid $34, if rejected add re-bid zone1...

Bid $37, if rejected close browser and use this link to re-access PRICELINE...

Select 2* Druid Hills-Emory and re-bid zone2...

If the above is rejected PRICELINE EXPRESS has a 2* hotel in this zone for $44/nite (Indoor or Outdoor Pool, Pets Allowed, Free Breakfast, Free Internet, Free Parking, Fitness Center) which you can take.

Any questions feel free to ask (especially confirming your re-bid zones if you're new to the subject)
