Have been bidding for Dec.17 since Dec 4, when I got the room for $50 for 12/18-12/20. Finally on Sunday I tried again and started my bidding at $55 and it was accepted, first bid.
Got it Sunday night on first try for $55.
Can't change the header, but this really is Boston and not Miami.
Previous bidders had won this hotel for $50 in November and December, so started my bidding at $50 for 4*.
I was originally trying for Dec. 17-20, but couldn't get anything accepted as high as $75, so decided to split my stay. Bid $50 for Dec 18-20, and got it on my first bid at $50.
Then tried to get Dec. 17 for $50. Used all my free re-bids to $70 for that night and all were rejected. Tried again 72 hours later and still not able to get the room for 1 night. Perhaps should've split the dates equally, Dec. 17-18, and Dec. 19-20??
Will try again later in the week. Any suggestions for getting the 1 night at a similar rate, or should I go ahead and raise the bid much higher?
I did notice that the taxes and fees are proportionately much higher for a 1-night stay than for a longer stay.
Forgot to put date in heading: Dec. 20
Intended to be bidding on Courtyard Marriott, 2.5*, which is downtown and near bus station, perfect location for heading to airport in the morning. It is the only 2.5* that I know of in downtown Providence. Since there are no free re-bids on a 2.5*, I bid what to me is a rather high $50 for the $199 room.
Never occurred to me that they would give me a bonus and bump me up to a 3-star, which turned out to be Radisson, on the other side of the river from downtown and totally inconvenient, far less a value than the Courtyard. Big mistake.
I was hoping to get the Wellesley Inn and Suites Westshore, which is listed as a 2 1/2 * hotel in the Tampa airport/Westshore area, but upon checking Wellesley Inn's web site to see what their rate would be, I saw that the property had been converted to Extended Stay.
Another person had won this Extended Stay hotel, which is apparently now a 2* for $29. Knowing that there are no free re-bids on 2* hotels (all Tampa areas have 2* hotels), I went ahead and tried $29 and got it. I've stayed at this hotel when it was Wellesley and was very pleased. Hope it hasn't changed too much.
Using information from previous posts of winning bids in the area, my first bid: $49 Coral Gables zone
Added a second zone, which I knew had no 4-star hotels and bid: $51
Congratulations, you got your price of $51 for a 4-star hotel room.

Knowing that Country Inn and Suites was a 2.5* possibility, I checked their web site and Travelocity for their rate on that date, which was around $57. No other name-brand hotel was less expensive, with the next nearest rates in the low 60's.
