Go Thrashers! Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 My wife and I are going to Orlando from Sept. 21-24 and I was looking for a 3 or 4 star hotel. I didn't know how much I should expect to pay, and have never used Priceline or Hotwire. If anyone could give me some pointers I would greatly appreciate it!! Also I wondered if it is too early and should I wait to look. Clark Howard referred to this site, it is great very informative!! Link to comment
thereuare Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Welcome to BetterBidding!First thing you'll need to do is decide what it is that is important to you for this stay. Are you looking for the least expensive hotel, a bit of luxury, certain amenities that the hotel needs to have, etc, etc?Which zone(s) are you willing to stay in? (start by looking at our Priceline Hotel List and Hotiwre Hotel List to see what has been reported in each zone)If you didn't use the opaque providers, how much would you budget for this trip and what is the best price you're able to find for this stay thru traditional booking methods?

Go Thrashers! Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $70.00 Subtotal: $210.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $37.20 Total Charges*: $247.20 This was my first try at bidding for a room. It is listed on the website for $125/night, So needless to say I was very happy! In retrospect I probably could have gotten away with even lower!! But thanks to this site I saved a pretty penny and can't wait to do it again!! Link to comment
