Priceline Hotel: 5* Manila (Makati) InterContinental

[LHFlyer]

Hoping for the NW Renaissance, I was "upgraded" to this Priceline 5-Star. In reality, the Ren is much nicer, but the IC is not that bad - a bit old. Lowest rate $85 (5-day advance purchase), so not big savings. Started at 80 and bid with SG$5 increments.

Congratulations, you got your price of SG$110 for a hotel room in Manila, and we've upgraded your hotel quality level to a 5-star hotel. You selected 4-star as your hotel quality level and we found a 5-star hotel willing to accept your price.

I've found some very attractive rates using Priceline SG's "Choose Your Own Hotel" option. For example, the NW Renaissance is available on your dates for SG$155 (all in).

The booking agent PL uses is Octopus Travel, but at rates lower than on their own website. This is a practical way to choose a particular hotel if you don't want to risk getting another.

Would have happily paid that $8. Oh well, I checked tons of sites but not that one - nobody had any good discounts at the NW Ren.
