Priceline Hotel: Wanting to bid on Renaissance Hollywood

[Safari23]

Hi there,

New to this bidding thing. I want to use Priceline to bid on the Renaissance Hollywood for May 23-26. It appears it's the only 4* in that area, so I'm guaranteed to get that hotel right? Any suggestions on what to start the bidding at?

I think there's a Roosevelt 4* hotel in that zone too....and I'd say start bidding at about $110.

NO... see the comments as the top of the Priceline Hotel List (as well as the hotels listed for this zone in the hotel list as well)

Are you willing to accept any 4* hotel in this zone or only the Renaissance?

Please also follow-up your Priceline Ft Lauderdale thread with the information requested (or the results if you already purchased a hotel for that stay)

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

Thanks. After I posted that I noticed priceline added Le Montrose Suite Hotel :) Which i really don't want, so I guess I'm screwed. Is it a 50/50 chance to get the Renaissance? Is there any rhyme or reason to how it picks which hotel you get? Is it random? Does it depend on what price you bid?

thereuare - sorry, I didn't end up bidding for the Ft Lauderdale hotels, my mom decided not to go :)
