Priceline Hotel: 3.5* San Juan Hotel - Help bidding - 02/21/09-02/28/09

[diane8284]

Can I get advice on how to get a 3.5* San Juan Hotel (want to pay under 100 if possible)? If not, then advice on 3*?

I am traveling 2/21-2/28.

I tried bidding yesterday, but I think my strategy is poor.

Welcome to BetterBidding, diane8284.

How high did you bid for a 3.5* in San Juan yesterday? What about for a 3*?

Hello,

if you are willing to split the bid you could have Sheraton Old San Juan for about $70 for the dates 2/22-2/28 (HOTWIRE has for these dates hotel what appears to be Sheraton for $79). If you want to split your stay, you should start to bid $60 and then raise by $5 per free-rebid.

then you still have to arrange a hotel for 1 nite but if you are willing to drop the star rating to 3* you should be successful under $100. (FYI, i got 3* courtyard miramar thru priceline for $61 two weeks ago when the courtyard website has it for $199. for your stay it is $229 so chances are pretty good that PRICELINE will have some inventory. maybe not for $61 but i think you should find something under $100).

I have been bidding high of 80 right now...

I will work on the 2/22-2/28 at 60 and then up tomorrow since my dates are flexible....

thanks so much, this advice is very useful!

This is a match for the Sheraton Old San Juan Hotel and Casino so that would be our best guess.
