rlibkind Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 Not my finest bid result. I thought, based on PRICELINE EXPRESS pricing and a check of a few other hotels, that my $124 initial bid for 4* would result in a savings. Not quite so, since I hadn't checked the Reniaissance. With either a AAA or senior discount on the Marriott web site, I could have gotten this hotel for $135 plus tax. Pretty much a wash when figuring that Price.line total cost with fees and tax is $144, although direct booking would have been cancellable. Oh, bother. Used Price.line Quick Book link from Better Bidding.
thereuare Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 Congratulations on your success! Sorry to see this one didn't turn out to be a big savings for you, but hopefully you're pleased with the hotel received and this will be convenient for your plans this trip. A good tool for the future is our MAPS and HOTELS.com... search for a location in the zone, filter to only show 4* hotels on the map (or whatever star rating you'd like), and you can easily get an overview of prevailing rates for hotels in the zone. ;) Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding. Enjoy your stay. PS- i have updated the Priceline Hotel List to reflect the new zone boundaries for the Asheville region. Thanks again! Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
