The Crowne Plaza has previously been seen with this amenity set, but at the 3*, so i'd speculate that this property has been upgraded since last reported to the board and that would be my best guess for this one.

For Asheville... are you willing to pay more for a higher rated hotel OR is your goal the least expensive 3* or better for this trip?

Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.

I finally am ready to let the bidding begin, so a strategy would be much appreciated.

For Asheville NC

Dates; Friday March 30- Monday April 2

3.5 or a 4 *

DOWNTOWN ASHEVILLE

Up to 100 per night sound feasible? I would go a little higher for a 4*, maybe 120?

That's really as high as I would want to go.

I have plenty of time so I would love to start low-ish...

After I book Asheville, I will work on my Charleston reservation on the Charleston site, April 2-6..

Still haven't figured out the car. I might just go for a smaller, more economical vehicle, since the prices are over my range for the Small SUVS. :(

Thanks a lot..

wjcassidy, we've taken a lot of trips to Asheville. Always using Priceline and bidding 4-3 stars. We usually get the Crown Plaza in 3.5 star downtown zone. Its just an ok hotel but I recommend others well before it.

Please be sure to post your winnings as we may be able to help each other I am going a few days after you go in April. Don't spend more than $80 on 3.5 star downtown zone. IMO I'd rather pay more and book direct then over pay for Crown Plaza. Try 3 stars in downtown, we once won the 4 points Sheraton and it excellent location to downtown! I am referring strictly to Priceline but may give Hotwire a try this time around.

PS be sure to support this site and use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links ;)

Up to 100 per night sound feasible? I would go a little higher for a 4*, maybe 120?

Did you want to first try for a 4* up to your limit, then if rejected try for a 3.5* property?

Please confirm and we'll advise accordingly.

Hi therE

Have you had better experiences with the 3* PL possibilities ?

Actually, now that i think of it, I sometimes do think that the 3's are overall better values all factors considered?

Would I be better off perhaps bidding on 3's in Downtown Asheville?

Yes I would look at the hotel list so you can get an idea of what hotels you might win

Check hotwire and see what 3 star range is . Then start low in the 50-60 range

Last year late April weekend trip we won four points for $64 I believe. Good luck

A follow up for Asheville. I found a nice B&B with a good rate for my days in Asheville so I went ahead and booked it . The Crooked Oak Mountain Inn. Should be a nice way to experience some of the

Mountain flavor of the area.

Thanks for the information and advice. it helped me make my plans for this trip.

Now for Priceline in Charleston, see youthere

Thanks for closing this thread with your decision.

Glad to see you found something that works for your needs.

Enjoy your stay.
