Mike in NC Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'm interested in getting a 4* hotel in the Triangle (my honeymoon night) on Nov 1st. I see that Chapel Hill is the only zone that has this. I've tried bidding for it twice, and got rejected at $105 per night. Does anyone have any advice or experience at what price range this night might be obtained? Or which might be the hotels that are 4*, the Siena or any others? Would closer to Nov 1st be a better time to bid if the hotel still has vacancies late? Or any other advice regarding this...Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 The Sienna is rated 4* by PRICELINE, but given that it's never been reported to the board, it may be a hotel that doesn't discount very much or doesn't given availability to PRICELINE's "Name Your Own Price" service unless inventory is very low. No telling if this is the only 4* hotel offered in this area, but if this is the only one (or if there are only a couple of 4* hotels) then it can make getting a deep discount much more difficult.What is the most that you'd be willing to pay for a 4* hotel in this zone? Would a 3.5*, of which there are many more in the region, be "nice enough" for your needs?Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.PS- please also let us know if your recent Chicago Hyatt Regency win is in addition to, or replaces. your previous Priceline Chicago thread which was for slightly different dates (if the same we'll merge the two threads) Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Mike in NC Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I could probably go up to $120 for a 4 star for that night. If not, the 3.5 star would certainly be acceptable, I was just looking for any thoughts or counsel on this. The Chicago Hyatt Regency win is in addition to the sought date of 11/8, but I have purchased my flights, and am no longer interested in 11/8. Link to comment
thereuare Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Given your previous rejected at $105 i would increase your bidding to your $120 limit.At the 4* level you have EIGHT re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.Select 4* Chapel Hill...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $115, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $120.Any questions feel free to ask.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Mike in NC Posted October 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I got the 4* Siena Hotel for $120/night for Nov 1st, so it's all set. I started at $85, used the rebid zones, and was accepted at $120, which would have been my maximum for today. I used the PRICELINE links on the site... Link to comment
