Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Cocoa Beach - Merritt Island (Titusville) Best Western Space Shuttle Inn

[johnmlynch]

Both yesterday and today I started using the PRICELINE QuickQuote feature on BetterBidding.

I needed 2 rooms (me, my wife and our 13  yr. old in one, Father-in-law & Mother-in-law in other) for 2 nights in a hotel before beginning our timeshare week in Orlando.

The day before I tried bidding for a 3* using on zone at a time (not all zones had 3*) starting at $45 and incrementing a little each time  until final unsuccessfu bid of $60 on all zones

Today, I began bidding 2.5* hotels, began with Cocoa Beach at $45 and was rejected.

I rebid at $46 and adding Titusville zone and was accepted.

 

Later, I checked the PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals and am pretty sure based on location, stars and amenities (free breakfast,/internet/parking) the same hotel is indicated at $50/night, but also noticed there was a 3* for $68 In Express Deals.  So, rethinking my strategy, I wished I checked that ifirst and made another try a 3* bidding again ending a little higher.   I must admit am a little anxious became I never stayed in less than a 3* on Priceline before and so am slightly worried about possibly disappointing my family.   At least it is only for 2 nights so, we'll see how it goes.
