irish6004 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Started bidding with 2* since the previously posted 2* seem more likely to be beachfront (ie Fairfield & La Quinta)... *3 seems most likely to snag the Doubletree which I would like to avoid since it seems its a distance from the beach.Bid $40... Rejected.Added Chesapeake - Bowers Hill, Bid $45.... Rejected.I'll give it another go in 24 hours and let you know!

AaronJB Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 The well-reviewed 19 Atlantic Hotel is $89 on Orbitz for these dates - 10% using deal0hotel coupon code = $80.10.Please use the site's Orbitz.com link if this is of interest.
irish6004 Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Posted June 22, 2009 Thanks for the tip Aaron! Oddly enough, my first bid today at $70 was sucessful and we won the 19 Atlantic! I'm a little disappointed that there is no pool, and given that I could Orbitz the hotel for $80/night, its not quite the Priceline deal I would have hoped, but I'm sure we'll make do!
thereuare Posted June 23, 2009 Report Posted June 23, 2009 Summer stays in beach areas, especially for weekend stays, can be very difficult wins to see large discounts. Most hotels likely have high capacity and can sell the majority of rooms on their own, so there is little reason to offer too deep of a discount to the opaque suppliers.Glad it's a well reviewed property as 2* property, especially in beach areas, can get a little "iffy".Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
