dsharkcali Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 OK, all done. Link to comment
dahammer Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 What is your maximum budget per night? Are your plans firm? Link to comment
dsharkcali Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 My maximum budget is $130/night and yes those dates are firm. Link to comment
downtown_resident Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 My maximum budget is $130/night and yes those dates are firm.As I posted here earlier, I won on priceline the 3.5* Westin Princeville at $110/night for a stay that overlaps with the tail end of your trip.

thereuare Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 You can see hotels which have previously been reported to the board in the Priceline Hotel List. With PRICELINE there is no telling which hotel you may get, only that you will receive a hotel within the zone you choose at the minimum star level (or higher).If you're looking to have an educated guess as to the hotel you may receive before your purchase HOTWIRE may be a better option as you can often take a guess based upon the amenities shown before your purchase... still no guarantees, and HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE.Let us know how you'd like to proceed, and which zone(s) you're willing to accept, and we'll advise accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

dsharkcali Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I am actually not picky so any one of the 3 zones in Kauai is fine. I am looking for the best deal on my dates (those are firm) and usually never stay in less than 4 stars but I guess the westin is 3.5 stars and from what I can see is very nice so I would be willing to stay there as well. Sorry I am fairly new to PRICELINE and this board. Link to comment
thereuare Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 ...usually never stay in less than 4 stars but I guess the westin is 3.5 stars and from what I can see is very nice so I would be willing to stay there as well.You won't be able to bid specifically for the Westin, and if you include the 3.5* star rating in your bidding you could receive a different 3.5* property... do you want to stick with 4*/Resort bidding to begin, then if rejected, explore the 3.5* options?Let us know and we'll suggest a strategy accordingly.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

dsharkcali Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Yeah, I was just giving Westin as an example. I am surprised it is only 3.5 stars.Yes, I will stick with 4*/Resort bidding to begin Link to comment
