Priceline hotels question

[cruisinonmymind]

I really want to stay at the Marriott Waterside in Tampa before we cruise. What are the chances that this hotel will come up? If I bid for a 3* downtown is this the correct area for near the port? Also, does anyone know what other hotels may come up for this class? I really want something with a view of the port, but I want to save as much as possible. If I book directly with the Marriott, I am looking at about $190 per night.

 

Any advice?

If you have your heart set on staying at any particualr hotel I would not use priceline.

I see your hotel is a 3 star downtown tampa. along with these other hotels.

3 Star

Wyndham Harbour Island Hotel

Hyatt Regency

Marriott Waterside

Radisson Riverwalk

So your chances are 1 in 4. (From reading the web site I see the Radisson is keep popping up.
