nickt2326 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 HI I am very new here, and am finally ready to use priceline, but i need some serious help. I really really really want to stay at the MARIOTT Mystic Hotel and Spacan someone tell me what price I should bid, and also how to assure this is the hotel I end up in. It is in Groton Ct and is a 4 star hotel and it seems to be the ONLY 4 star hotel listed, on priceline but because I am soo new to this whole thing I am a bit afraid to find out there may be something else. Can someone please help me
dahammer Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 you can't bid for a specific property, how do you know that this is the only 4* in the area? What are your dates of travel and your maximum budget for this trip. Are you willing to accept anything else than the Marriott?
nickt2326 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Posted July 18, 2008 Honestly, I'd like to get the 4 star for like $150 a night. The mariott looks beautiful and when i looked up at priceline it seemed like that was the only hotel listed in Groton at a 4*Dates are August 1st and 2nd. I am looking to use my credit card but will not be going on the trip my girlfriend and her mother will be, I am doing them a favor. Do you think it is okay that I put it on MY credit card but when they go without me they just show the mothers ID?I don't really have a budget but do want to get away with a nice winning bid.
thereuare Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Welcome to BetterBidding!when i looked up at priceline it seemed like that was the only hotel listed in Groton at a 4*See the related link in our PRICELINE FAQ regarding using the 'retail' version of PRICELINE to determine what you will get thru the 'name your own price' version of their siteDo you think it is okay that I put it on MY credit card but when they go without me they just show the mothers IDThis isn't a problem, you just put in your information for payment but put the room in the name of the person who will be there at check-in.Let us know if you're willing to accept any 4* hotel in the zone or if this information changes your mind regarding bidding this zone.

nickt2326 Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Posted July 19, 2008 are you positive that I can use my credit card for them? If so this is sooo wonderful, I just do not want the hotel to give her mother a problem when they check in or ask her mother for a credit card or anything like that.
texashighway Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 are you positive that I can use my credit card for them? If so this is sooo wonderful, I just do not want the hotel to give her mother a problem when they check in or ask her mother for a credit card or anything like that.Although the reservation is prepaid, the hotel may still require a credit card at check in to cover incidentals. This is from PRICELINE's Terms and Conditions:Depending on the city and property you stay in, you may also be charged resort fees or other incidental fees, such as parking charges. These charges, if applicable, will be payable by you to the hotel directly at checkout. When you check in, a credit card or, in the hotel's discretion, a debit card will be required to secure these charges and any incidental fees (phone calls, room service, movie rentals, etc.) that you may incur during your stay.You may want to contact the hotel directly after winning your bid for their exact policy.
dahammer Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 the hotel may ask for a photo ID of the name on the reservation as well.
thereuare Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Just to clarify for the OP, you can put the reservation in the name of your girlfriend or her mother, this doesn't need to be the same person who actually purchases the reservation... just make sure you put one of their names in the box when they ask for the name of the guest.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.
