Hotwire Hotel: 2.5* Huntsville-Madison La Quinta West

[sugarbeansmom]

hi all... I'm needing a hotel in Huntsville, Alabama - check in 4/17/09, checkout 4/19/09. I'm not picky about amenities, just want something nice, so aiming at 2.5* or higher. Hotwire is listing a 3* in Huntsville/Madison for $46/night... would like to try priceline first to see if I can get something even less expensive.

I'm looking in the Huntsville zone (zone 2 on priceline) or the Huntsville West zone (zone 5 on priceline).

let me know your thoughts on a bidding strategy and/or if you need any more info from me. I'm planning to use the links here to connect thru to PRICELINE.

Thanks much,

:))

So is your maximum bid $45/nite for this stay and are you setting your minimum star level at 3 stars? (or 2.5*?)

Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.

Yes, my maximum bid is $45/night and my minimum star level is 2.5*

Thanks much!

Unfortunately you have no re-bid zones at the 2.5* level... but you do have plenty of time.

I would start at $28 and increase $3 every 24 hours until you reach your limit.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Good luck and keep us updated.

NOTE: there is a 2.5* hotel on HOTWIRE for only $33/nite, but as each service uses their own star rating system, this could be the equivalent of a 2* on PRICELINE

Thanks - I see the 2.5* on hotwire now... I think I will still try PRICELINE first, as I've stayed at several 2.5* (priceline ratings) before. I will let you know how this goes!

:)

any thought as to what hotel the 2.5* on HOTWIRE might be?

Do you mean PRICELINE?? ... or the 2.5* offered on HOTWIRE?

I've started on priceline, but no success just yet.

there is a 2.5* on hotwire now for $33/night... the amenities listed are breakfast, pool, laundry, and hi speed internet... I'm curious what that hotel may be before I bid higher than that amount on priceline.

The HOTWIRE property above has not yet been identified, but at best i'd guess something like the La Quinta, Holiday Inn Express, Comfort Inn, etc.

bids of $28 and $31 with priceline did not work. I decided to switch to hotwire and book the 2.5* listed there. It is the LaQuinta Huntsville West - $33/night. Total for 2 nights with taxes is $79.87.

Thanks for your help as always!
