After a few failed attempts to get a 3 1/2 star for $70-75 or a 3 star for $65 in Raleigh on these dates, I won Holiday Inn Raleigh North for $70/night.

Dates of travel are 11/8-11/12/2013. Thanks!

Hi, I used your links and am looking at a few properties in Raleigh. Could you help me identify them? 1. 4*, $84/night: Pool, indoor pool, smoke free rooms, fitness center, restaurant, business center 2. 3*, $50/night: Free parking, free breakfast, free internet, pool(s), self service laundry, internet access I am also looking at one in Raleigh East: 3*, $66/night: free parking, free breakfast, fitness center, pool(s), business center, internet access Thanks!

The price was $100. Unfortunately it won't work for my plans so I just plan on not checking in (and eating the costs). Is there some way I could have checked to see that there was a resort for this area? I'm not sure how to do it since I followed the sticky on re-bidding (which told me to check the area then scroll down- when I did that there were no 4 or 5 star hotels in Summerlin). If I would have known I could have won something in that area I would have never selected it.

No, they will give you anything at that star level in that area. If anything, I would guess they are more likely to give you something that would be a lower price, as it probably maximizes their profit.

Just a warning for those of you trying to name your own price for a hotel at Priceline- I looked for all of the areas that didn't have 4 star hotels in Vegas to help me make more bids. Summerlin came up as an area with no 4 star hotels, but when I added that area, I won a room at JW Marriott in Summerlin. I'm guessing there is no way out of it, and am a bit bummed because I was bidding to get on the strip. I looked again and it is still listing no 4* in Summerlin, so I am not sure what I did wrong, but wanted to warn others that this may not be the best method as they are apparently ok with having incorrect information on their site.
