wilsonucla Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 How much should I bid 2* + Williamsburg VA, Sunday June 10, 1 night.Any tips folks?Thanks-JaysonEveryone please use SavingsBarn.com when starting a new priceline.com bid
thereuare Posted May 29, 2007 Report Posted May 29, 2007 Which Williamsburg zone(s) are you willing to accept?Do you have a maximum bid in mind and/or a best available rate thru traditional sources?

wilsonucla Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Posted May 30, 2007 The Williamsburg Historic - Busch Gardens I think the max would be around the mid 50's.Right now it says the best value online is 3* upscale.The Four Points, which is a 2 1/2 star also looks good, but to be honest 2*+ I dont really mind.
thereuare Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Given i think your budget is realistic along with my own bias for shying away from the lowest rated hotels when using the opaque providers, this is how i would be bidding:Select 2.5*...Bid $40, if rejected lower to 2*...Bid $25.If rejected wait 24 hours....Select 2.5*...Bid $43, if rejected lower to 2*...Bid $30.If rejected wait 24 hours....Select 2.5*...Bid $45, if rejected lower to 2*...Bid $35.Try the above over the next 3 days and we'll take it from there. If you only want to try the 2* portion fo the bidding that's your option as well.Any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

wilsonucla Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 well started at savingsbarn.comI started at 45 for 3*, was rejected and went down to a 2 1/2* at 40, was rejected. Went down to 2* at 25 was also rejected. Do you think adding the 3* hurt me at all? Thanks?
thereuare Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Trying for the 3* would have no effect on your other bids. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
wilsonucla Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Posted June 3, 2007 Started at savingsbarn.com. Was rejected by all of the prices above.
