Priceline Hotel: 5* Venice Hilton Molino Stucky

[boniam]

Great forum. I got a PRICELINE bid on this for $127+ tax whcih is $146 per night inclusive tax for Nov 23-25. My bid was actually for $110 and was counter offered for $127 which i accepted.

However, i am regretting because i was getting Hilton Venice for $160 including breakfast at hilton through one of their promotion.

Now i am looking for Nov 27-Nov30 in Rome and Nov 25-27 in florence. Any suggestion. I probable want to spend around $150 in Rome and around $100-$125 in florence. Also, i have a general question. I beleive most of the price line rate won't include breakfast. I think breakfast itself is atleast $20-$35 for two people in Italy. Do you guys take into account while comparing the price line bid with comparable hotels in Expedia etc. Currenltly i am finding that i can find decent hotel in rome for 4* in Expedia for $125-$150. So how much should i bid on PRICELINE. I tried rome 5* for upto $140 with no success. I am not willing to bid more that that because a 4* with breakfast seems a better choice for me.

Thanks for the additional post.

You should consider the fact that breakfast won't be included in your PRICELINE bid if you enjoy/intend to eat breakfast at the hotel. Most hotel breakfasts are expensive (and frequently not that good) and unless it's included in my rate, i usually prefer to find breakfast locally outside of the hotel... it's almost always cheaper and it gives me an opportunity to eat at a local place with the locals, and immersing myself among, and interactiging with, the people of the area is one of the things i enjoy about traveling.
