Priceline Hotel: 4*/5* Venice, Italy

[ALVI]

Planning to hit Venice for two nights 6th July to 8th July 2008

Priceline rates for a 4* are 225 and 5* are 251

Prefer Zone 3 (Venice) which has a 5* / but Zone 2 does not have a 5* (to use the zone exploit) what could be a good strategy to use trying to bid ahead - I do have a few days so could i uses the 24 hour window to revise the same strategy again

Thanks

Below is a copy of a recent post I read in a travel forum on PRICELINE bidding for Venice 5*. It seems that the Hilton Molino Stuckey on Guidecca is the consistent winner at 5* at around $225 USD. (Rack rates at this time are easily double that if not more.) It's a large luxury hotel on Guidecca and has it's own complimentary water taxi for hotel guests that runs every 20 - 30 minutes. Not far from Venice proper via water taxi and everything I've read about it make it a good buy for 5*. While not steps away from San Marco, it is convenient. Check it out via hilton website.

Good Luck
