Priceline Hotel: Help with Galveston Hotel

[ametaldiva]

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie to the whole Priceline thing so maybe you guys could help me out? I am needing a room for April 12 - 16 (4 nights) in Galveston. I have been checking Hotwire almost daily and they only come up with two - three hotels: one 3.5* at/around $129 per night, a 3* at $104 per night, and a 1* at $67 per night. The 3.5* and 3* are little out of my budget and there's no way I'm paying $67 for a 1* + taxes when I already have Laquinta (around 2.5*) booked at $75.00 per night as a back-up. The Laquinta I have booked doesn't have very good ratings/reviews so I am rather leary about it. So, I would like to try Priceline to see if I can get something better. I saw that the Galvez and Tremont are what's listed under Galveston on the Priceline Hotel list. I would be fine with either of those. I know this is during a Holiday weekend (Good Friday/Easter Sunday), so I guess there could be limited availability? Anyway, I'm really just wondering where to start bidding for a 3* in the Galveston area? I don't want to spend more than around $100 per night including taxes, etc. Is this feasible? I appreciate any help you all can give! :)
