sabandjen Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 ALSOjust found this tooJune 12- 163-star hotel in Buckhead fitness, pool$66 per night any clues??cheers!!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Please keep all posts for the same stay in the same thread.Neither of the above have been identified, but the 3* in Virginia Highlands/Emory could be the Holiday Inn Decatur while the 3* in the Buckhead zone may be the Homewood Suites... those would be our best guesses for each.Please use this HOTWIRE link to begin any purchases you make.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

sabandjen Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 HI there,I see that some people have won hotels around 65$ per night in buckhead in JuneI am trying to book a 4* in buckhead on June 12-16thI need 2 roomsI tried starting at 55$ and used every rebid zone till ending up at 75$Am i doing something wrong?? Or should I just be bidding higher?I checked Hotwire and see hotels in that star rating are around 140 so seems like 75 should have been alright...Can anyone help me? Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I checked Hotwire and see hotels in that star rating are around 140 so seems like 75 should have been alrightHow do you figure? Priceline may be a little cheaper than HOTWIRE... but rarely would it be half price.The first three nites of your stay are more expensive than usual, which is likely the reason you're having trouble on these dates? Are your dates flexible at all or are is this trip confirmed? Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
sabandjen Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 oh sorryit said something about 50% off on the website and reading others wins i just figured 65 was a reasonable goayes the trip is confirmed Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'm assuming that 50% is refering to Priceline which offers "up to 50% off hotels", but that is vs. a traditional booking. If you look at rates direct from the hotel websites for these dates you'll see rates for part of your state at $300+ per nite.You'll probably need to go closer to $100+ for a 4* property. What is your maximum bid? Is SPLITTING YOUR PRICELINE BID an option? Would antoher nearby zone work well for your plans as well?Let us konw the above and we'll advise as to how to proceed.

sabandjen Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I've never tried splitting the bid. That is an option yes. I will give that some thoughtI'm sure a nearby area would work as well. Just told by someone to try for Buckhead..shopping and such.Thanks for the suggestionsThis board is a huge help!i'll let you know how i make out..if i do..:) Link to comment
