Ben Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 I am looking for a one night (at least 3 star hotel) near the Orlando Airport on Friday, Feb 4. Any suggestions on the price I should bid and the hotels that priceline has in this area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.I just found this forum and think it is a great place. I will be a frequent visitor here from now on. :)
thereuare Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Of course we'll be happy to help :) When bidding 3* in the MCO area you have 5 re-bid zones. If you're not familiar with re-bidding please read PRICELINE RE-BIDDING and ask any questions that you may have and/or confirm your re-bid zones with the board if you want to make sure you have it correct.If you understand re-bidding, this is how i would proceed...Select 3* Orlando Airport and...Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone and....Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone and....Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone and....Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone and....Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone and....Bid $60.You didn't state a maximum bid so i figured i'd start from where i did, which gives you a systematic way of getting there.Of course, any questions feel free to ask.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Ben Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Posted January 7, 2005 I bid $35 and $40 and got rejected. I plan on rebidding soon.I'll let you know how it goes.
steve20832 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Posted January 8, 2005 I got a 2* hotel (LaQuinta Inn) for $33 next to the airport for Jan. 29 through Priceline.If you want a 3* hotel you may want to start bidding at around $45.Hope this helps.

Ben Posted January 11, 2005 Author Report Posted January 11, 2005 I ended up starting from scratch and got the Sheraton Safari near WDW for $35. I will now be staying there for the first and last night of my trip. ...now to either get a hotel in either Key West or Nassau..... :)
