Hey everyone. I'm looking for a hotel in Charlottesville, VA for 3 nights; April 29-May 2, 2010. I've done some searching around here and have seen past bids for around $45 get 3* hotels, but when I tried PRICELINE today for the same, my bid wasn't accepted.

Could it be possibly because Im bidding far in advance of my desired dates ?

Rates do vary by dates (from day-to-day, even) and by season. If your dates are busier than another user's, they may be more expensive. What would be your budget per night and desired star rating?

Thank you for using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.

Id like to stick to no more than $50 a night, for a 3*. I checked this same time period for last year, and that's where I saw the winning $45 bids for a 3*.

Given your $45 rejection, I would bid $50 your next bid.

While i see a few $45 winning bids, i see many more $50+ winning bids, where as much as $70-$80 were needed for a win.

I'm seeing hotel direct rates ~$100/nite, so at $45 your bids are still less than half the going rate. I'm guessing you're not too far off, but i think $50-$65 has a much higher chance of success than $45 and under.

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Let us know how your next round of bidding goes and we'll take it from there.

Good luck.
