Sarah Dan Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I am fairly new to Priceline and when trying to book for Bellingham, WA- they only offer 2* on Name your Price.Has anyone had any recent successful bids and which hotel and rate did you get?I would prefer 3*..... smile.gifAny advice?

thereuare Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Expedia only shows two hotels, both Best Western properties, which are rated higher than 2* in the city limits of Bellingham. I don't know if either participates with Priceline, but if they do, i would question if they would be rated as high as 3 stars.So even without Priceline (or Hotwire) i would think you'll need to move outside of this area if you're looking for a 'true' 3* property.Not sure what would show up at the 2* level, but if you want to give it a try let us know and we'll take a look and suggest where you might want to start your bidding.

Sarah Dan Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 thanks for the info. i would bid on a 2 star - any idea which hotels may come up and and what price? Link to comment

Sarah Dan Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 june 23rd - june 25th 2006thanks :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 I suspect these are going to be somewhat tough dates.... Hotwire shows nothing in the area and Expedia (usually NOT a very good source of availability) shows NO availability in the city limits for these dates.What is your maximum bid so that we don't suggest an approach that is more than you want to pay.

Sarah Dan Posted June 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 well, m y research show a few 2 stars at around $75/80 per nightPriceline are only offering 2 stars, altho i would prefer 3*....so my max bid would be maybe $50 or so.... Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 You have no re-bid zones avaiable so i would just start at $30 and raise $5 every 24 hours. This will bring you up to your maximum bid within 5 days so that you still have over a week before your stay to find alternate plans.Keep us updated to your progress.
