Adventure44 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 Hi, I tried bidding for a 4 star downtown. I started at $76 and got up to $101 with no luck. I am curious about this express deal. 3 stars Asheville Downtown July 31st - August 3rd $104 Amenities: free internet, parking, breakfast, non-smoking, bed choice, business center, fitness center, pets allowed, swimming pool with 9+ rating I would prefer a higher star hotel, but free parking, swimming pool, and a high rating has piqued my interest. Thanks for your help. I used links on this site for all my travel searches.
Adventure44 Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Posted June 8, 2018 I got an email that I could bid the exact same bid in 2 hours for 4 stars downtown ($101 pets, internet, restaurant, 8+). Does that mean I am close for 4 star in downtown? Should I bid the same price or wait or bid lower in 24 hours? I also decided to try for what I am guessing is the Grand Bohemian (4 1/2 stars pets, restaurant, fitness center, internet, and business center) in Historic Biltmore Village. I am willing to pay more because it looks like an amazing hotel within walking distance to restaurants and breweries. I started at $106 and ended at $136. Sorry for all the updates and questions. I am not sure if I should have started a new thread.

The wait time between PRICELINE bids is now 2 hours (no longer 24 hours). The email from PRICELINE is just letting you know that you're eligible to bid again... it is no indication that you're any closer or that the price has dropped since you last bid. When PRICELINE does send you an email please don't click the link in their email and return to the board and click our links here to begin your bidding. As PRICELINE is constantly moving their bidding page around and making it more difficult to find, note that we have set up this page www.BiddingForHotelRooms.com which you can bookmark to make it easy to get to a priceline bidding form (or use the BiddingHelper.com bidding tab) For a 4* hotel i don't think you are too far off... at the moment i think it would currently take about $110-$125. Currently the Grand Bohemian Hotel Asheville, Autograph Collection for your dates start at $268/nite (which is a currently discounted priced from $315) so i don't think you're in the right ballpark here with your $136/nite bids given that it is well under half of the currently discounted price. 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.

Adventure44 Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Posted June 8, 2018 What is your best guess for the 4 star hotel in Historic Biltmore Village with pets allowed, restaurant, internet, fitness, and business center with 8+ rating? Last question today! I am considering bidding on it, but I have no idea.
thereuare Posted June 8, 2018 Report Posted June 8, 2018 When looking at the bidding page of PRICELINE the amenities shown are not for a specific hotel that you are bidding on, they are amenities that are offered at every hotel in the zone at that star rating (ie- if every 4* hotel in the zone offers a Restaurant they can list that as a guaranteed amenity, if every 4* hotel in the zone has a Pool they can list that as a guaranteed amenity, etc, etc). In fact, at this point of the bidding process PRICELINE has not yet even checked inventory for your dates, so it would be impossible for them to list the amenities of a specific property that you're bidding on.

Adventure44 Posted June 9, 2018 Author Report Posted June 9, 2018 I hope not because I paid too much! The express deal was a 3 star. I bid and won a 4 star hotel.
