YoPhilly Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 I'm hoping for either the Tampa Airport Renaissance or the Intercontinental, so my first bid was $54 in Tampa Airport South - Westshore. Bid was rejected so I added Tampa Airport North since there are no 4*s there and upped my bid to $61. Rejected again, so I added Tampa Stadium (again, since there are no 4*s there) and upped my bid to $66.Theoretically, I could opt for a 4* at Tampa Airport West and hope for the Hyatt, but I think the Westin is a little too far for a super-early a.m. flight.My dates are Feb. 28, 2010 for one night.Any suggestions for rebidding today, or should I just wait the 24 hours and try again?

YoPhilly Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Posted February 18, 2010 I'd say my maximum bid would be $90. I prefer a 4* but would be willing to take a 3.5* (and hope for Marriott Airport Hotel).(Yes, I did use your PRICELINE link to start my bid.)Thanks for your help.

martyYYZ1 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 There's a 4* on Hotwire for $84 on Feb 28 which is likely the Intercontinental. More than likely, it will be less than $84 on Priceline
