sweetevil Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 The Gasparilla festival in Tampa seems to be hiking up the rates for the 1/27 - 1/29 weekend. I knew they would be high, so I started at $80 for a 3 star in downtown. I went to $100 and $120 for free rebids, both rejected.My girlfriend then tried $130, $140, $150, with her priceline account all rejected. Beyond that price, it really wasn't going to be worth it for us, so we're now looking to stay somewhere else. I think all the 3 star hotels in downtown are right at the end of the Gasparilla parade route, so they may be completely booked out of Priceline rates or not even offering them for this weekend. Expedia was showing around $250 - $310 for 3* downton properties (Sheraton Riverwalk, Marriot Waterside) for those nights.We will probably try to stay in the Westshore/Airport area and take cabs over to where we want to go for the festivities.
