But you have to be willing to wait until pretty close to your stay date (the closer the better) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847194 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:55:50 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2847194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Thank you! I think I'll try the priceline and/or hotwire thing for really specific categories, and if I can't find anything in the closest areas, Ill branch out. Thanks again for your advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847193 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:54:37 +0000 snowjewelz 2847193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbubbletea: Poke around just in case you find a fantastic deal! Some places are nicer than hotels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847192 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:54:11 +0000 Mrsbells 2847192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbubbletea: I dont have any firsthand knowledge of that specific hotel but the reviews seems promising and it isnt too far from downtown </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847191 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:52:03 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2847191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: that sounds just like the priceline one. I think the key is to start really low and specific in area and slowly increase one part at a time if you don't get an available deal. I wonder if one is better than the other! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847190 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:51:01 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2847190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Thats what I was going looking into too, but we kind of like hotels especially since we don't plan to cook or anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847189 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:47:33 +0000 snowjewelz 2847189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Airbnb? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847188 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:47:06 +0000 Sams Mom 2847188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used the hot deal on hotwire.com with good luck. You pick how many stars you want and what area you want to be in it gives you the price and you book it, then they tell you what hotel it is. I've never used it in as big of city as Austin though, so I don't know how much of a roulette crap shoot that could be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847187 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:44:30 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2847187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Thats my issue. I am kind of trying to stay downtown, because the wedding and my friends are staying in the south congress area (I think that's what its called) and I wanted to be close, but I don't necessarily need to be... any suggestions? We aren't renting a car, so we would like to be able to have some cool stuff around us, but we will just take ubers or whatever.</p> <p>ETA I found a good deal at the doubletree thats further out, any advice about where that is located? <a href="https://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/texas/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-austin-AUSLNDT/index.html" rel="nofollow">https://doubletree3.hilton.com/en/hotels/texas/doubletree-by-hilton-hotel-austin-AUSLNDT/index.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847182 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:38:48 +0000 Mrsbells 2847182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbubbletea: austin is pretty big so the prices will vary a lot depending on which area in Austin. Have you tried expanding your search to the outskirts or suburbs around austin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tricks-for-great-hotel-deal#post-2847173 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:24:07 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2847173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I procrastinated on a hotel for an upcoming wedding in Austin the first weekend of Nov. There is some kind of game so hotels got super expensive. I really wanted to treat us to a nice hotel cause its our first trip without kids! But...we already spent however much on plane tickets, I need a dress, wedding gift... so I can't spend so much on two nights in a hotel. Any tricks? I had done the priceline name your own price thing in the past but I don't know if they even have it anymore or if there is something better. </p>
