Priceline Hotel: Help-Horseshoe Bay (Near Austin,TX)

[D.T.]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has ever stayed or placed a bid with the Marriott Horseshoe Bay Resort, its about an hour away from Austin Texas.

Its rated as a 3* hotel and the lowest price for a room starts @ $218, what would be a good recommend starting bid price? Thanks in Advance!

Its the only 3.5 hotel in the area. Ive already bidded like 75 and that didn't work. I dont want to pay more then 90 a night if possible. And being a 3.5 I thought i wouldn't have to bid so much, as Ive gotten 4 stars for a lesser price.

The hotel has not yet been reported to the board. If it does participate with PRICELINE, it may not have inventory for these dates if they are expensive. What date/s are you looking for? Does HOTWIRE have anything of interest when you search?

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

thanks for the response...its not on HOTWIRE yet, and from my experience HOTWIRE was never that cheap. I'm looking around the 15-16th of April to the 18th.

What you've paid for a 4* hotel in other regions/zones isn't a good measure for what it may take in this particular zone. With rates at $200+ your maximum bid is still under half of a conventionally booked room... not an unheard of discount, and is worth trying, but certainly not a win to be expected, imo.

It is a great hotel, very nice. It is the only nice hotel in the area, so I imagine you will get it if you try.

I will say however are you sure it is rated as a 3*, I am pretty sure it would be a "resort"

yeah sorry about that...its rated a 3.5 on PRICELINE...
