wliwlCindy Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 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!!!! :) Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 It's likely two-fold...1) not a lot (any) users are looking to stay in this area... not exactly a tourist destination2) 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)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Let us know whatever you end up doing for this stay or if we can be of further help.

wliwlCindy Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 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) Link to comment

urso_polar Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 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. Link to comment
CAVEMAN1949 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 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 WIFIIt 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. Link to comment
