Priceline Hotel: Europe Trip

[trusaleen1]

New to the Forum, im traveling to Rome, Munich and Paris in April. Im arriving Rome April 18, arriving Munich Arpri 21, and Arriving Paris April 24. I've previously used Priceline with success my last two trips.

Right now im really trying to get the Munich Marriott in City Center North (4 stars) I was successful back in 2008 and 2011 getting a room for no more than $70 a night. In the past week, I have bid 50,55,60,65,75,80 and $89 with no success. Any help, and I used the link for my latest bid and will continue in my process to getting hotels

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Please use separate threads for each leg of your trip, we will use this thread for the Munich portion of your trip, please start NEW TOPIC(s) for each of the other segments of your trip.

For Munich...

You can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE, you have to be able to accept any hotel in the zone at the star level (or higher) that you choose... so if successful it may or may not be at the Marriott that you are hoping for. With HOTWIRE you can often take an educated guess as to what is being offered based upon the amenities associated with the property, but it's still a 'best guess' and no guarantees you will receive the hotel you're hoping for. As well, HOTWIRE only shows one hotel at each star level per zone, so there is a chance the hotel you're hoping for isn't the one which is offered for your particular dates.

Fortunately, rates at the Munich Marriott are not that high for your dates, starting at $158/nite (another 4* hotel, the Pullman Munich is just $127/nite for your dates). Given these direct rates, how high are you willing to bid for a 4* hotel at this time?

Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

I ended up booking directly with the Munich Marriott because they offered me a discount because I was doing Euro Delivery.
