Priceline Hotel: Need help - Yorktown/Williamsburg area for Oct. 2006

[Chris L. in New York]

I'm looking for a good price on a hotel (any * level) for the Yorktown/Williamsburg/Newport News area for the week of October 14th through October 22nd, 2006. This may be a futile task as we're going down for the big Yorktown reenactment and there will be hundreds of others looking for the same kind of lodging.

Thanks for any help or advice.

What is your maximum bid amount?

Do you have a back-up reservation someplace yet?

No back-up reservation yet as we really started looking late in the game. We would like to find something for under $50/night that's not too cheesy. I stayed at an EconoLodge in Williamsburg a few years ago that was such a dive I was afraid to fall asleep at night. I'm a little nervous about ending up somewhere like that again.

It doesn't sound as if any star level is really acceptable... what is the minimum star level you want to try for?

I think you should start by doing a bit of research first and try to find out your best deal outside of the opaque providers. This will give you a realistic view of rates for this time period and will help you determine your maximum bid and minimum star rating based upon the 'next best alternatives'.
