eeyoredonkey Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 Taking the advice from the Hyatt Regency in Silicon Valley/Santa Clara -- that it is mainly a M-F business hotel, I aimed real low and went for 47$ as the first bid (only checked Sunnyvale/Santa Clara) for Friday-Monday, August 3-6. Accepted quickly at the Hilton 4* on Great America Parkway with the option to stay for additional nights. Possibly paid too much? How low can you go... :)
Colfax Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 "Cheaper rates on weekends at business oriented hotels" is a tendency but not a hard and fast rule. No harm in trying lowball bids on weekdays too, unless you're bidding at the last minute.In the last couple days we've seen $50 for 4* accepted on Monday and Thursday nights in Santa Clara, and seen $60 for 4* rejected on a Friday.
thereuare Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 Thank you for sharing your win with the board.Rather than using days of the week to indicate demand i always recommend using price as an indicator. Rates direct from the hotel's own website are the best sources to get a feel for demand on any given stay. Use our BetterChecker to help search rates direct from the hotel website without having to type each URL and input your information each time.Enjoy your stay.
