Priceline Hotel: 3* Nashville (Opryland) Gaylord Opryland Resort

[rebelfan]

I've bid on 2 different days for a 2.5* in the Opryland area. The first day I started low at $44 and worked my way up to $50. Today I started at $50 and worked my way up to $56. I'll try again tomorrow and let you know how it goes. I'm willing to go up to $65.

Of course, I used your PRICELINE link.

Well, still no luck. Today I tried $56, $58, $60, and $62.

They've got rooms available, and I've seen so many others get this hotel for $50, I don't know what the problem is.

This thread: Radisson Opryland was posted tonite where it took $65 and they were upgraded from a 2.5* hotel to a 3* property.

Rates at the Radisson for their nite are the same for your dates, so while not a sure thing, there is a good chance you'll be successful if you bid up to $65.

Thanks for starting your bids with our PRICELINE links and keep us updated (or any questions regarding the research i did above)

I tried again this morning for 2.5* Opryland, bidding 4 times at $62, $63, $64, and $65. All rejected. I may wait a week or so and rebid this zone, or I may just move over to the Airport zone. I much prefer Opryland, but $65 is my limit. I should add that I was never offered a counter-offer, as a previous poster was.

I would go up an extra $1 next time if you're $65 bid is rejected.

Don't forget to also check HOTWIRE periodically as well.
