seastin Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I am a fairly experienced bidder with priceline and have tried bidding for a resort in Hollywood for the following dates:Feb 17-20Feb 22-24I have started at $135 and gone all the way up to $230 with no luck. Considering I have had an accepted bid at $135 (as others on this board have), I think it wouldn't be too smart to go higher. I know rooms are available and the retail rate ranges from $400-$430.Anyone know why they would not be accepting any bids? Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!It could be a variety of reasons... there could be a lot of meetings, conventions, wedding, etc. during these dates and they're holding rooms back for those attending these events.Essentially it comes down to supply vs. demand, and occupancy levels are probably higher for these dates than the other dates you're seeing with lower accepted bids.

bjksgk Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Seastin, just an FYI that you are looking for rooms on two of the BUSIEST weekends in South Florida (Coconut Grove Art Festival and Miami Beach Boat Show Feb 15-18) and South Beach Food & Wine Festival Feb 21-24. Most of the South Beach hotels and alot of the better Ft Lauderdale area resorts are full at full price, therfore you won't have much luck trying for them at a discount on priceline for those dates :) Link to comment
