mark nasraui Posted January 27, 2018 Report Posted January 27, 2018 I am looking for a hotel 2.5 to 3* in Orlando from 4/6 to 4/16. 4/13 to 4/23. My budget is 50/night tops, but I am looking to pay around 35 - 40 (if possible) What would be a great starting bid guys? Thanks
AaronJB Posted January 27, 2018 Report Posted January 27, 2018 Please list the names of the zones of interest, as zones can change at any time. Thanks. Are there any listings of interest on HOTWIRE or PRICELINE EXPRESS that fall within your budget? Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.
mark nasraui Posted January 27, 2018 Author Report Posted January 27, 2018 Just one thing before proceed, the final dates changed to 04/13 to 04/23... Is it possible to change the topic name to the correct dates? The areas are: Intl. Drive - Convention Center; Intl. Drive - Pointe Orlando; Intl. Drive South - Sea World; Universal Orlando Area - Intl. Drive North; or Downtown Orlando... There is one deal that looks ok on the priceline express deals: 2.5-Star Hotel Intl. Drive - Convention Center - Sea World Area - U$51 and one on Hotwire: 3.5-star Hotel in SeaWorld - International Drive South area - U$52 Both on top of my budget, so did not really fell for them lol Thank o/
thereuare Posted January 28, 2018 Report Posted January 28, 2018 I'm not sure what you're looking for here... Did you want a bidding strategy for your new set of dates OR are you instead considering just purchasing the PRICELINE EXPRESS hotels above? If you're looking to start by bidding on PRICELINE, what is it that you want to try for first: 1) a 3.5* hotel up to your maximum bid price, then if rejected repeat for a 3* property, then if rejected try for a 2.5* property... OR 2) price is the most important factor and try for a 2.5* hotel up to your maximum bid price On 1/27/2018 at 8:43 AM, mark nasraui said: My budget is 50/night tops, but I am looking to pay around 35 - 40 (if possible) Please also confirm your maximum bid price at each star rating.

Exactly 29 minutes ago, thereuare said: If you're looking to start by bidding on PRICELINE, what is it that you want to try for first: I would like to try first save as much money as I can in a 2.5* up to my budget, that is $50 tops. Can you provide a good bidding strategy to start?

Drive South - Sea World for $45 ($43 with the board's coupon code) Business Center Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> best guess would be the Monumental Hotel Orlando Any questions feel free to ask.

mark nasraui Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Posted February 11, 2018 So far no lucky bidding up to U$42... I was taking a new look at the express deals and found this one for U$49: express deal U$7 + than the top bid but includes breakfast, do you think it worth? Thanks
thereuare Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 For hotel help please include the full amenity description. Assuming this is the property you're seeing: 2.5* Intl. Drive - Convention Center - Sea World (confirm your dates on the landing page) for $49/nite with: Pets Allowed Free Parking Free Internet Free Breakfast Indoor or Outdoor Pool Fitness Center No Smoking Rooms/Facilities ==> best guess for this one would be the Extended Stay America - Orlando - Convention Ctr - 6443 Westwood Thanks for using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board.

mark nasraui Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Posted February 13, 2018 While I keep trying the suggested bid strategy everyday, using PRICELINE link, I am looking hotwire and priceline deals.... Today I found the following on Hotwire for U$31/night - total $363.70 + U$80 resort fee due on checkin 3-star Hotel in Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek area 65% recommended Amenties: Free parking, Free breakfast, Free Internet, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Pool(s), Business center, Self-service laundry.. I know its completelly different from the zones I am biding on, but, for the price / amenities I am really considering get it. What would be the best guess for this property? Thanks again
thereuare Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you search using the EASY VIEW TAB of our BiddingHelper.com tool. (always use this method for your searches/purchases to ensure you're seeing the complete amenity set and for an easy comparison of PRICELINE vs. HOTWIRE, as well as to use our new IS THIS A GOOD PRICE feature). If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities (including any accessible amenities) then what you have listed above? Using this method, below is the full list of amenities i'm seeing for the 3 star hotel in this zone when searching for your dates: 3* HOTWIRE Walt Disney World - Bonnet Creek for $30.00 Free Parking Complimentary Breakfast Free Internet Smoke Free Fitness Pool Business Laundry Hi-Speed Internet Golf ==> from the Hotwire Hotel List this matches previous reports for the Baymont Inn and Suites Celebration and would be my best guess for this one (and combined with the current $25 off Hotwire Coupon would make this even a bit cheaper) Please remember to return to BetterBidding and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... or thru our sister site MAPSandHOTELS.com for your regular rate purchases.

mark nasraui Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Posted February 13, 2018 I decided to close this deal on hotwire using HOTWIRE link. The property was exactly the baymont inn and suites celebration. Very happy with this purchase and looking forward for my trip. Do you want me to post this as a new topic? Thanks ;)
thereuare Posted February 13, 2018 Report Posted February 13, 2018 Congratulations on your success... glad to see you received a bargain price and it was the hotel you were hoping for. In the future you can report your wins using the 'ADD REPLY and REPORT WIN' button on the top right corner of the board (you can't see it now as it can only be used once and we just used it to edit the topic title to reflect your purchase). Thank you for sharing your results and using the HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchase. Enjoy this leg of your stay and have a great trip.
