europe-chick Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi, Thinking of trying PRICELINE EXPRESS for the first time, never used it before, but I've been happy enough with HOTWIRE. 2.5 star Kingston, Ontario 1 night - June 25th, 2 rooms, 3 adults, 2 in one room - 1 in the other $97 amenities listed free breakfast free internet pool free parking business center fitness center I'm thinking, and hoping, for the Holiday Inn Express? there's also a 3 star for $99 with free breakfast free internet pool free parking restaurant business center fitness center maybe the Best Western? Oh and also there used to be a code on here for an extra 5% off priceline express deals. I think it was Spring14. I've tried this and it doesn't work. Was this the code? Has it expired? If so, is there another.....??!! I clicked on the PRICELINE link on the site to get my quotes, and I'll do the same if I book. oh and finally one more!! same night, same rooms etc, but in Gananoque $83 2 star with free internet pool pet friendly restaurant near casino bed choice I'm thinking the Ramada? I've also seen what I think is the Ramada on Hot.wire for $87 Many Thanks for your help europe-chick Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 1 night - June 25th, 2 rooms, 3 adults, 2 in one room - 1 in the otherAll PRICELINE reservations, whether they be by bidding or PRICELINE EXPRESS, are only for double occupancy, so you won't be able to ensure occupancy for 3adults in one of the rooms... do you therefore want to switch to HOTWIRE?

europe-chick Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hi No, I'm looking for 2 rooms to house the 3 adults, not 1.Sorry if that wasn't clear! Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's clear, i think i read it too fast earlier. Using the more complete amenities from the details page after clicking each offer (ie- provides the type of internet provided, whether the pool is indoor our outdoor, etc) i've re-listed the current offer an my best guess/comments below: 2.5 star Kingston, Ontario Free Breakfast Free Internet in room Indoor Pool Free Parking Business Center Fitness Center --> my guess would be the Holiday Inn Express 3 star Kingston, Ontario Free Breakfast Free Internet in room Outdoor Pool Free Parking Restaurant Business Center Fitness Center --> Best Western Fireside Inn 2 star Gananoque --> please double check as i believe this listing you're inquiring about is current 2.5 star rated: Free Internet in room Indoor or Outdoor Pool Pets Allowed Restaurant Casino --> i would agree with your guess of the Ramada Provincial Inn Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

europe-chick Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 thanks for your great reply. one more quick question - if I decide to bid for a hotel on priceline instead, can I bid for 2 rooms? I've not used this before and so I'm unsure if I'll be able to do this thanks again Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Yes, if you use the BiddingHelper.com (top middle of the page) or the QUICK QUOTE search box (top right of the page) you can select 2 rooms from the drop down menu.

europe-chick Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 thanks. decided to try bidding as I was ideally hoping for something around $70.started at $60 for a 2.5 star in Gananoque (ideally where we want to be) - which was rejected, added in Pittsburgh at $62 and still rejected, added in Elizabethtown at $64 and rejected again.according to all I've read on priceline bidding, free rebids by adding in other areas etc that's all I can do for today now.will try again tomorrow with the same 3 strategies at $66, then $68, then $70.hopefully by $70 I'll have something accepted, if not I'll keep increasing day by day. though once I hit the $70's I'm not far off the $82 on Priceline Express. so I guess at this point I may just buy this in case it goes up.thanks again for all the help Link to comment
europe-chick Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 booked 2 rooms for 1 night June 25th1st day bid 60 / 62 / 64 all rejected2nd day bid 66 / 68 / 70 all rejectedtoday decided to up the bids a bit as I also used the 7% off code - so bid 74 rejected - then 78 which was accepted and I won the Ramada Provincial Inn.so I guess the rooms work out at 73 if I take the 7% off into account. I'm happy enough with that.I was kinda hoping to win the Holiday Inn Express, but I guess it wasn't meant to be, I'm fine with the hotel we won though.I did use your PRICELINE link to bid.thanks Link to comment
