Priceline Hotel: Bidding help for 3 rooms 6/13-6/15 Santa Rosa/Sonoma

[luckylassy]

I have used Priceline successfully to get a really cheap 3.5* room in Santa Rosa many, many times, but now I need to get 3 rooms.

 

Am I better off bidding for 1 room and then adding rooms later?  Or should I bid for all three at the same time?  

 

My target is to pay $100/night with taxes and fees.  Do you think adding Sonoma and/or Napa would get me a free bid(s) since their hotels are so much more expensive?

 

Thanks for your help Betterbidding gods!

I would strongly recommend bidding for all three at the same time. If you bid for one now and two later, you could very well end up with two different hotels. I would also not bid in a zone that you do not want to stay in, as there's always the chance you could get a bid accepted. $100 including taxes/fees I think is going to be difficult/unlikely. You can certainly try for lower rates and have time to do so, but based upon what I'm seeing in terms of rates, you're probably looking at $125-150 + taxes/fees.

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

Let us know how you'd like to proceed and we'll proceed from there.

In the end, I ended up just making reservations the old fashioned way and stayed in Napa (there was a county fair in Sonoma so they were too expensive).
