Priceline Hotel: Fredericksburg?

[wliwlCindy]

I see Fredericksburg, VA as an option on Priceline, but I don't see its hotels listed anywhere on this forum. Does that mean that few bids are won there? Or do you think Fredericksburg is being covered in some other territory (eg. Northern Virginia)?

Thanks!!!! :)

It's likely two-fold...

1) not a lot (any) users are looking to stay in this area... not exactly a tourist destination

2) the hotels which do participate may not discount very much and booking direct becomes a better option than risking the 'unknown' via PRICELINE (as this user bidding fredericksburg ended up doing)

Bids:

May 6, 2008 I bid $60 for 2 1/2*, bid failed. No other zones to add. Waited 24 hours to rebid.

May 7, 2008 I bid $65 for 2 1/2*, bid failed.

May 9, 2008 I bid $70 for 2 1/2*. Came back saying I could bid $22 higher and get a room.

Rather than pay $92 for an unknown hotel we opted for the Hampton on 1080 Hospitality Lane because friends were staying there. That cost $107 auto club rate. (Not including taxes.)

(I should note that I saw two other winning bids in Fredericksburg from last fall for $65)

fyi, PRICELINE will sell the room for less than $92. You could have still bid 75 & 80. If you didn't get the room for 75 then you probably would have gotten it for $80. Have a good stay in Virginia.

Fredericksburg is a very important town for people interested in the Civil War. The nearby battlefields include Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Spotsylvania, and the Wilderness and all are part of the National Park System. Rocky and I had a great three day visit.

HOTWIRE has a 2.5 star for $48 with restaurant fitness pool laundry and WIFI

It is the Ramada Inn and Conference Center located on the south side of town. The restaurant was okay, but we had most of our breakfasts at Waffle House which is within walking distance. The hotel is a dumpy old Holiday Inn Holi-dome, but I found it rather charming in a rather retro fashion. The rooms were clean and quiet if a bit shop-worn. The public areas were right out of the Seventies! The price was very reasonable.
