Priceline Hotel: 3.5* orange county (Disneyland)

[lclprettymama]

$40 bid 3.5* orange county (Disneyland)- got nothing

added Anaheim Hills area and bid $45 -nothing

I am trying to win the Anaheim Hilton suites for 1 night 1-3-09, any help would be great!

Are you willing to accept another hotel besides the Anaheim Hilton? You could very easily get a different hotel by bidding on PRICELINE, as there are several possible 3.5*'s in this area.

HOTWIRE has a 3.5* in the Anaheim-Disneyland South area for $56 with the amenities: Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Hi-Speed Internet, Golf, Tennis, Business, which would appear to be a match for either the Hyatt or Hilton (the Hilton, not the Hilton Suites.)

Given the 3.5* on HOTWIRE for $56, I wouldn't bid much higher on PRICELINE.

I would be ok with another, but I really would like the suite. I saw many others win that hotel with a $45 bid in the last few weeks. I was really hoping to get it.

I hope you get the Hilton Suites, but realize that using PRICELINE to get a specific hotel is a total gamble, and don't get your hopes up.

Would the HOTWIRE 3.5* be of any interest?

[lclprettymama]

humm.. I guess I should check it out, I was hoping to pay less and it always seems to me that HOTWIRE runs a little higher than PRICELINE when you bid. I might be better taking my chances. I've never been displeased with the hotels I've won. So I guess I should just add another area I would be ok with, and bid a little higher? Buena park only seems to have 1- 3.5* hotel and it is still close to Disneyland. How high should I go?

[AaronJB]

I wouldn't go any higher than $50 on PRICELINE. Given the $56 HOTWIRE listing, I wouldn't start going higher than that, or you could possibly end up paying more for the same hotel you would have gotten on HOTWIRE.

You actually have re-bid zones available which would allow you to add specific zone(s) and still ensure that you receive a hotel in the Disneyland zone. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please see Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and you're strongly encouraged to confirm your re-bid zones with the board before bidding.
