Priceline Bids/results

On HW, Hyatt MCO is a 4* in MCO area. Once you click on it, continue down to where you see the HW map. It will give the tripadvisor.com rating. Hyatt MCO will be 4.5* out of 5 with over 140 reviews. This last part is very important and the only thing that distinguishes Hyatt from Renaissance Hotel which will be 4.0*/5 for ta rating.

good luck!

Thank you!! It would appear that it's not listed at this time according to your info. There is only one 4 star and it's 4.0*/5 for TripAdvisor.

Question for you priceline pros:
When would you recommend booking for May 2010? It looks like it will accept a bid now for that timeframe, but would it be better to wait?
Thanks!

I am not an expert but I wouldn't use priceline that far out.

I know it isn't WDW, but I used priceline this morning for an AUg trip to Key West.

Got the Hilton Bentley in South Beach for 60% off - have to check the actual price when i get home but I know I bid exactly 60% less than the rack rate

We also got the Hyatt in Key West for $99 for 2 nights and the Waldorf AStoria Reach for 89 for 2 nights

Okay, thanks. I'm just antsy

I just booked a one-night stay (short anniversary getaway) for February and got a local 3* hotel for $37, so I was very pleased with that.
Priceline can be addicting

I just returned from a last minute trip to Gaylord Palms(7/24-7/26). I booked it the night before and got a great deal at $66.

$50 per night in the Crowne Plaza Universal Aug 8th - Aug 14th.

Selected area 8 and 3.5 stars.

Got Rosen Shingle Creek for $47+fees. Ended up being a little less than $60 for one night. Our flight gets into Sanford at 5:50 and we check into AKL the following day so we only needed one night.
I don't know anything about this hotel but it looks as though it will serve the purpose!

Just got the Best Western Lakeside for $29 per night October 16- October 18th. While this is an older resort around Disney's Maingate, it still boasts excellent reviews from travelers scoring 4.0 out of 5

Hello Rebecca-

Have you ever stayed here before? I had reservations at WDW for 8/16-25 but I had to change to 8/14-23. Now I need to stay somewhere off-site for 2 days. I am going to try two things for the first time; priceline and staying off-property. Even though, I got a nice AAA rate at 110.00 for both nights. I thought this wasn't bad.

This hotel seems very close.... Let me know if you've stayed here. Thanks.

Jose

I got the Hotel Royal Plaza for one night for this November. We needed one night before we check into the Boardwalk for 6 nights.

I use www.biddingfortravel.com to get information before I bid. It helps a lot!

Happy Planning!

Got MCO Hyatt for $45/night for 2 nights, July 10 to 12, 2009.

any tips on how to get radisson celebration on priceline? I "see" it on Hotwire but the priceline prices listed in this thread are even better!

Unfortunately the Radison Celebration is located in a large hotel zone on Priceline with many other 3* hotels (Priceline has the Radisson as a 3*, Hotwire as a 3-1/2*) that are in that zone with a Priceline history. You can not really pinpoint this hotel on Priceline. You will be taking a chance if you bid on the 3* star hotels in the WDW Zone. If there are other people reporting that they won this hotel around your dates - this may reduce the odds of you getting another hotel rather than the Radisson, but it is still very risky if you want this hotel. Hotwire provides you a lot better way to pinpoint a particular hotel, but ususally at a high price than Priceline. Sometimes for Priceline if the hotel is in small zone with no other hotels of that star rating being reported in that zone, you can pinpoint a hotel - but this is still not a guarantee as star rating of hotels can change or an unreported hotel may now be in that zone with the same star rating.

thanks, PP -- i do feel more comfortable using HW in the first place, i'll just stick with that then.

Staying at the Sheraton Four Points Studio City for 31.00/night. We are there from Sept 20-26. Newly renovated and good reviews. has anyone stayed there?

Just wanted to let you know that we stayed at the Sheraton Four Points a couple of years ago and were very pleased. We stayed for a week and didn't go through PL or HW.... paid over $100/night and we thought it was nice. So I imagine at $31/night you will love it.

I went to biddingfortravel.com and they had Don Cesar on St. Pete Beach listed as a hotel that has been "won" through Priceline before. Anyone ever get this? At what rate?

I just won the Radisson Celebration for $22/night using a $50 Priceline cash bonus for 5 nights in October:

Offer Price Summary
Bonus Cash Per Room, Per Night: $10.00
Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $22.00
Total Offer Price Per Room, Per Night with Bonus: $32.00

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total Charges to your Credit Card
Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $22.00
Subtotal: $110.00
Taxes & Service Fees: $30.07
Total Charges*: $140.07

Average nightly rate for the time period we wanted was $103/nt through Radisson. So I saved some money but I'm not really happy because they add on a ripoff $11.50/day "resort fee". I would have rather spent an extra $10/day myself on a nicer hotel. But you can say that Priceline is paying most of our resort fee. We've stayed there before so we know what to expect. Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes. Our last visit we got a nice hotel for $21/nt with no resort fee, I guess I was just spoiled

Just got Royal Plaza in DTD for $55. October 9, 1 night. There is a $8 resort fee.

Help with hotwire. Can anyone help me? There is a 4 1/2 star in the Maingate Celebration area. The only 4 1/2 star on better bidding is Gaylord Palms. The hotire hotel is showing 4 1/2 circles on trip advisor but the Gaylord Palms is showing 3 1/2 circles on Trip Advisor. Anyone know what this hotel could be? Thanks!!

 

[rebecca06261]

Can you give me your dates and what amenities are showing?
