Priceline Hotel: Bidding strategy for Nantucket in August?

[Swede]

Hi,

Looking for 2 rooms on Nantucket for August 1st (1 night). Does anyone have a recommendation for a bidding strategy? Max price is $200.

If someone could recommend a nice place on cape cod this could also be an alternative. I've never been there before so I don't know the area.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Nantucket is served by a ferry from Hyannis. There is a high-speed ferry (1hr travel time) or a regular ferry (2hr 15min). You could do a 'day trip' to the island and stay in Hyannis for much less. One option is the SeaCoast Inn in Hyannis, only a few blocks from the Ferry and rates under $138.

Thanks - looks like a decent hotel. Will try that.
