Needed a hotel not too far from Bulls Game Saturday night. Marriott is $159 ($180 w/ tax). Hilton is $125 w/ AAA ($141 w/ tax).
Checked Express Deal and there was a 3.5 star for $68 I suspected was the Hilton.
Lots of free rebids.
4 star looks to be Washington Duke, and I bid i out using 6 rebids w/ no luck up to about $95 or so.
3.5 star - also 6 rebids. The express deal had disappeared, but I knew not to go over $68. STarted at $50.
Immediately got a suggestion to bid at $67 and rejected that.
Bid $53, $56 and then $59 and $59 was a winner.
Hotel has a free shuttle so that's a plus!
Reviews look great on Tripadvisor!
We decided to rent by owner instead and found a house in Ocean Isle Beach for $140/nt.
Thanks for reminding me. :)

I think this may be the Hotel Indigo but wondered if anyone could offer further insight.
Thanks!!
I think that's certainly the most likely possibility that its Hotel Indigo. I just stayed there last week and I really liked it - though IMO it wasn't as walking convenient as the Renaissance, the parking at the H.I. was easier (under the hotel in a deck that the elevator goes straight to the room floors)
Great idea! Hope it will be warm for you! Outer Banks are great!
Lucky you. I just bid up to $65 for a 3.5* with no takers.
I see the Marriott prev came up as 3* perhaps that's why? I'm not sure I'm willing to gamble getting the Brownstone...
My best guess is Embassy Suites at Kingston Plantation.
I've stayed there before on a Priceline bid (granted, a while ago).
DH has a work thingy at the Marriott. He really wanted to be downtown, so I first bid
Greensboro 3.5* - $68 - rejected
added East - $71 - rejected and not offered another bid - took me to hotel purchase site - odd!
Closed and reopened browser:
Bid Greensboro 3* - $74 - rejected
added East - $80 - rejected.
New browser:
Bid Greensboro West - $42 - accepted on first bid for the Hyatt Place.
Happy with this win. Was worried about the Clarion!
Hyatt is showing $89 for these nights, so $103 total for both is pretty decent.
(as an aside - on Hotwire - a 3 star GSO-West property was showing for $39; and a 2.5* for $69 - the icons were nearly identical - shuttle, wifi, fitness, business, etc. except - the $39 listed "restaurant" and the $69 listed "breakfast" - any ideas on those for future reference?)
I'm a PRICELINE veteran. Familiar w/ this strategy....
Using Greensboro NC - bidding 3.5 star downtown GSO, bid 3.5 star for $68. rejected. Then, added G-East and upped to $71 - then, got the screen showing what hotels are available and it won't allow me to rebid? I have two more zones (West & High Point - only have 3 star) - what gives?
Granted, it's been a couple of years, but I've stayed at the Renaissance downtown and it was fine. I didn't feel it was "sketchy" at all. Asheville's downtown was fine - lots of cute restaurants, etc.
I think you'll find that summertime in the mountains is just popular anyway esp on the weekends...
you can check NC Travel & Tourism website though. www.visitnc.com
The subject line should be edited - the Sheraton in Raleigh is most definitely in the Raleigh (downtown) zone and not the Durham zone - which is 30ish miles away.
Amenities include complimentary breakfast, pool, laundry, tennis nearby, fitness center, business center, internet, kitchenette. It's showing a price of $69 for July 18-20. Any ideas? I'm thinking it might be Staybridge Suites, but I'm not sure.
I posted somethign similar a few months ago...

I've had to do a split bid for a holiday weekend before.... You'll pay a little more, but you can probably win 3/22. Check the going rates on 3 or 4 sites and then bid about 50%-66% of that.
Thanks for the post.Enjoy your stay.
Hyatt Place was a big improvement over the Amerisuites that the property formerly was. I have a sneaking suspicion my $35 bid was about as low as it would be accepted - that was the rate shown on the HP's computer as I could peer over the desk and see that on her screen...
First bid of $35 accepted - which makes we wonder if I could have gotten it for less! Apparently, the former Amerisuites property has been transformed to a Hyatt Place and Tripadvisor reports look good, so we'll see!
