Booked January 20-28 ... 8 night for $55/night + taxes = $515.84
Was looking at the "Express Deal" for $62 per night (see previous post). After some research, figured it was probably the Westin (which suited me fine) so I thought I'd try to bid lower since I had nothing to lose...
offered $45 Hotel Zone South. Declined. (Was offered @ $62 immediate, declined)
added Hotel North, offered $49. Declined
$53
$55 Accepted
Wanted a nice quiet property to put my feet up, so I figure this is the perfect property 4me for a darn good price B)
Booked January 12-20 ... 8 night for $50/night + taxes = $476.72
offered $41 ATL South. Declined. (Was offered @ $57 immediate, declined)
added ATL North, offered $43. Declined
added ATL West, $45. Declined
$47
$49
$50. Accepted
Surprised. Thought I'd get the Westin, but this is actually a better hotel (better beds), better area...
Happy 
the dates of my stay are Jan 20-27th, 2013
Also wondering - do you think "bidding" on these hotels will get me an even better rate than using the "express deal"?
Seems there are good Express Deals on Priceline, but am finding it difficult to identify these hotels...For instance, I'm looking at a "Resort Hotel in Cancun Hotel Zone South" (no star rating) for 84% off, with a guest rating of 7 (out of 10) [see below]
Wondering are "Express Deal" Hotels identical to the "Bidding" Hotels identified in this forum? If so, is it possible to identify these hotels?
