Jason's Storm Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I am wanting to go for Cocoa Beach area, and I see that I have 3 free re-bid zones for that area, since the others don't have 2 1/2 or 3 * places. With discounts i can get a place for around $78. I'm hoping to get it most for $50 (plus taxes and fees). I am traveling 5/9 to 5/11 and will be arriving late. What do you suggest?~JS Jason's Storm- Making one killer deal after another. With something other than a machete to the head.

thereuare Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Are you willing to pay more for a 3* vs. a 2.5* or are you looking for the least expensive 2.5* or better hotel for this stay?

yellowdog Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Jason's Storm,In addition to thereuare's answer.If using PRICELINE 3* for the beach area is also the Hilton Rialto in the "city" in the same zone, so if you have your mind set at a beach hotel be aware of the Hilton.For Cocoa Beach (if you want a beach hotel) have I found HOTWIRE safer to use. Take a look at HOTWIRE, and just post if you need help with any ID.YellowDog. Link to comment
Jason's Storm Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 The Rialto? I don't see it on Hilton's site.~JSN/m I see it, though its in Melbourne.

Jason's Storm Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Top is $50 for the 3*. While, bidding less is better. I certainly would like a 3*, since it would likely be next to the ocean.~JS Jason's Storm- Making one killer deal after another. With something other than a machete to the head.

dahammer Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Looks like the following 2.5* is available for $59 through HOTWIRE with the following amenities: Near Beach, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Laundry Facilities, Children's Activity Programthis appears to be the Comfort Inn & Suites Port Canaveral Area. the problem with a PRICELINE bid in this area is that you cannot be guaranteed getting an oceanfront hotel.

Jason's Storm Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I tried all the way up to $57 today for a 3 *, despite wanting to stay under $50. I'll try the old strategy for a 2 1/2* tomarrow, maybe.~JS Jason's Storm- Making one killer deal after another. With something other than a machete to the head.

Jason's Storm Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I got a "try again" email for $50 from priceline. Does that mean they would accept $50 for some place?~JS Jason's Storm- Making one killer deal after another. With something other than a machete to the head.

thereuare Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Not necessarily... they're just reminding you that your 24 hours is up and you're able to bid again.PLEASE make sure you begin your bidding with our PRICELINE link (and not the one sent in the email) as we won't get credit otherwise.Thanks!
