shelly1640 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 I am looking for a hotel in the Orlando area (Universal desired)... for the nights of 4/2-7/06. I am willing to stay at any of the 3* 4* or Resort Hotels. My cancellable back up is Best Western Universal at 53 dollars a night. I am willing to spend up to 70 dollars per night. Can you give me a stratergy? I am familiar with bidding zones etc.Thanks!!
thereuare Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Welcome to BetterBidding!Do you prefer to pay more for a higher rated hotel or is the goal the least expensive with a 3* minimum?

shelly1640 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Posted February 6, 2006 I used your strategy but was not successful. I had my boyfriend bid and started the bidding where I left off and won the 3* Sheraton Studio City for 70 per night- Still in my budget!!Thanks for your help!
thereuare Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 Glad it ultimately worked out well for you.Was $65 your highest previously rejected bid?Enjoy your stay. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
