Priceline Hotel: 4* Charleston (Downtown) Renaissance

[tufty2000]

I've been bidding higher and higher amounts over several days (and adding zones) for a 3* and above room for Charleston for the weekend of 5/17-5/19. I've bid from $90 to $145, and now include downtown, Ashley River and Isle of Palms as acceptable zones. I keep getting shot down. It must be a popular weekend (I believe they are having the maritime festival).

Any idea what it would take to get a room? I'm thinking of going down to 2.5 stars although I really like having a workout facility.

Thanks.

If you're willing to accept the Ashley River zone then HOTWIRE has a 3* propety in this area for $139 (less than you've already bid) believe to be the Holiday Inn (if this would work for your needs... Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Laundry)

Let us know if the above would work and if so how it goes.

Well, after days of bidding and failing, I finally got a hotel in Charleston -- the Renaissance Charleston for $165 a night in the downtown/historic district.

That's a bit more than I wanted to spend, but it's about $120 less than they quoted on their website. I wanted to be downtown, and the Renaissance is a 4 star according to PRICELINE so I think it's a decent deal.
