Priceline Hotel: 4* Charleston (Mt Pleasant-Isle of Palms) Wild Dunes Resort

[CherylGA]

I am unsure why I'm having so much trouble getting 3* in the Historic District for this time period. I have been trying every 24 hours for days, going as high as $87. Two rooms, maybe?

I'm seeing lots of availability. Prices from $135 up on Priceline set rate and Hotwire for 3* so my bid is usually enough to get something.

I prefer not to go over $90/room/night. Going that high, I usually don't have a problem.

Thanks so much for any help you can give. Any ideas?

Not sure how big each event is, but there is a Taste of Savannah event taking place during your stay, and probably the bigger draw, a Cheer and Dance (looks like HS kids) Tournament (2/21-2/22)... and i suspect all those kids, and likely their parents, are taking up a lot of hotel rooms.

If you search for rooms for 2/19 availability is easy to come by and rates are typical... search for 2/20 onward and rates jump.

What is the $135/nite hotel that PRICELINE is offering thru their "retail" channel?

I didn't save the search and I don't remember which hotel was $135- sorry.

I see what you mean about there being lower prices for Thursday evening. Seems like there's plenty of availability and I'm willing to keep trying. I can stay in pretty much any area but not willing to give up on the Historic District just yet!

Thanks so much for all your help. Each time I bid, I use the PRICELINE link.

I am super-excited! After having no luck with reasonable rates for the Historic District, I rethought my plans and decided to try for the beach.

4* Mt Pleasant- Isle of Palms $80, rejected

They offered rebid with a $22 increase

Added W. Charleston and increased bid to $86

ACCEPTED!

This looks like an amazing hotel and I'm sure I'll be pleased.

Thanks so much for all your help and, of course, I used the PRICELINE link from this board.
