myb8089 Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Posted August 8, 2006 Sorry, I should have gotten to the point straightaway.We have changed our minds, and are now looking to for 1 night, 8/23.Don't really want to bid more than 35-40 a room seeing that we need 2 rooms.Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
thereuare Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 I doubt you'll be successful for a 3* at those price points.If you want to give it a try, you have two re-bid zones available when bidding 3* in this area. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 3* Downtown...Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $38, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $40.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

dahammer Posted August 8, 2006 Report Posted August 8, 2006 $35-40 for a 3* is Philly pretty low, but nothing ventured, nothing gained....what is your fallback position if you can't get a room in Philadelphia for this rate? You may want to consider bidding in a suburban Philly zone such as the Cherry Hill zone, the 2.5* Holiday Inn has bee reported several times at $35, this hotel is about 5 miles from Philadelphia. Note that the 2.5* Amerisuites in Mt. Laurel is also in this zone, a little further away from Philly. The suburban Philly hotels cater to business travellers during the week and your stay is on a Wednesday, typically a high occupancy night. You may have a bit more success on Thursday night 8/24 at your maximum bid.
myb8089 Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Posted August 9, 2006 Thank you both for your help, much appreciated.I will keep you posted as I bid.
