jessgirl1010 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Posted March 3, 2010 I have used priceline quite a bit. I actually already have reservations with the W for that weekend. I booked directly through them for $165 for each room which is really good. However, we are going to need another room and that rate is not available, and it jumps up quite a bit after that so I thought i would try to bid.I can cancel with them up to 24 hours before. I would really like to stay at the W but the Roosevelt would be fine. On hotwire, the only one popping up is the roosevelt right now so i dont know if that means that the W is pretty full right now or what the odds are of me getting the W for 4 rooms on priceline is. Any thoughts? Is it harder to bid with multiple rooms?this is a post i accidently posted under the florida HOTWIRE link-that one can be deleted
Colfax Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 That $165 at W is a really good rate, especially since the lowest price now is $329.How many rooms do you have reserved at $165? How many additional rooms do you need?I agree the 4* showing on HOTWIRE looks like the Roosevelt, at $188.Bed Choice, Fitness, Pool, Restaurant, Business, Highspeed.
jessgirl1010 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Posted March 4, 2010 I have 3 rooms reserved now and need one additional room. I emailed the W to ask if they will honor that same rate.
Colfax Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 Maybe you want to wait for W's response before you move forward.Or do you want to try for a lower rate on PRICELINE now even if W will give you all four rooms at $165?
jessgirl1010 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Posted March 4, 2010 their lowest rate now is over $300 so I am thinking about bidding. It makes me nervous but it's way too much money so I will probably move forward with bidding. Is it harder to get low rates with more rooms? I would think it would be better but I have no idea
Colfax Posted March 4, 2010 Report Posted March 4, 2010 The rate is the same if you buy one room or three, if available.My suggested bidding range for 4* in Hollywood is around $110-$140 or so. Someone can give a more detailed bid strategy if you want. Could be Roosevelt too.

jessgirl1010 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Posted March 11, 2010 Hello!yes, I had used to the link from betterbidding to get my winning bid of $122. I am sorry I did not repsond to this sooner. I ended up getting my extra room for $215 through the W so I did not have to bid. Thanks for everyone's feedback!
