pfhouger Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hello:Please give suggestion as to how to bid a 3* hotel on priceline in Niagara Falls (either new york OR canada side) for check in on 5/28 and check out 5/30, need a hotel within walking distance (1 mile or less) to the falls. My max bid per night is US$85 . Thanks! Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Welcome to BetterBidding!Start by looking at PRICELINE's zones for this area... are any of the zone(s) small enough that you could accept a hotel anywhere in the zone? If so, which zone(s) are acceptable and what is your maximum bid? (also, since you are looking for a 3* or better property, are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel, or are you looking for the least expensive 3* or better hotel for this stay)If you're unable to accept a hotel anywhere within the shaded boundaries of PRICELINE's zone, HOTWIRE may be a better option for you since you can often identify the property before your purchase based upon the amenities shown, and therefore have an educated guess as to the actual location.Let us know how you would like to proceed and we'll advise accordingly.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

pfhouger Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I checked PRICELINE map and zone 6-Niagara falls, NY looks good. Please advise on how to proceed on PRICELINE. Want a 3* hotel for check in 5/28 and check out 5/30 for 3 adults. Max bid $80 US. Thanks! Link to comment
yellowdog Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 pfhouger.PRICELINE only guarantee a room for two adults. That could mean one bed. Is this a risk you're willing to take?HOTWIRE could be an option for you. On HOTWIRE can you search for a triple room. And you have a guarantee for a room that sleeps 3 adults.What do you think?YellowDog. Link to comment
pfhouger Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 It would be my mom, my sis and me so I guess its OK even if we only gets a queen bed. To save a few bucks, we are willing to take that risk. Please advise on how to proceed on priceline: for check in 5/28, check out 5/30 only for a 3* hotel in zone 6 new york side. Max bid $80 US. Thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 To avoid any confusion, what is the name of Zone 6? (PRICELINE can add, re-zone, remove or change the order fo zones, so it's best to use the zone name so we know exactly what you're looking for)Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

pfhouger Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 zone 6 is Niagara Falls, NY. thanks Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 At the 3* level you have two re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read Priceline Re-Bidding Explained and feel free to ask questions and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding.(NOTE: 're-bid zone1' is not the same as priceline's Zone1, 're-bid zone2' is not the same as priceline's Zone2, etc, etc)Select 3* Niagara Falls...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $60, if rejected close browser and our link to re-access PRICELINESelect 3* Niagara Falls and re-bid zone2...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone1...Bid $70I'd start with the above. If rejected just post back and we'll revise to try again in 24 hours.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Good luck and let us know how it goes.

pfhouger Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I ended up booking on your PRICELINE link for Days Inn by the falls for $63 a night. Thanks for all your help Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Congratulations on your success!There are at least two Days Inn properties in this area, can you please list the address of the one you received.Was it this one: Days Inn at the Falls (443 Main St)? If so, this property is only 2* rated, i assume you changed from 3* bidding to 2* bidding somewhere along the line?Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using our PRICLINE link to begin your bidding.Enjoy your stay.
