Priceline Hotel: Please Help Charleston (Downtown) 04/15-04/18

[Fokus17]

Hello,

I am in need of some help. I am trying to get a hotel in The Charleston Downtown area through priceline. I need two rooms as another couple is going with us. I know all about the rebid process. I have been trying for over a month and this is my result.

4* up to $105 rejected

3.5* up to $105 rejected

3* up to $105 rejected

2.5* up to $85 rejected

We would like to get the highest star rating possible. I get nervous arounf the 2.5* level. The problem is our friends want to spend under or around $100. What do you suggest? Is is still to early to give up? Could the problem be the request for two rooms? Is something happening this weekend? Please give any advice or strategy you can.

Thanks,

Marcus

I'm guessing something's going on in the area on these dates (not sure what), as prices seem considerably higher than normal (quite a few 3*'s at $175-250+, 4*'s at $225-250+ regular rate) HOTWIRE prices are steep, with the 4* downtown at $229 and a 3.5* at $189. You could either combine in one room (a 2 doubles suite at the ES, perhaps) or go for a lower star rating.

Please use the site's Expedia, Orbitz, HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
