  1. Admin: Please add this newly identified hotel to the list. The winning price is not fully indicative as it was a rush last minute purchase and was only $2 less than the PL express offer Alt
  2. I have been monitoring hotels in Austin for a few weeks. Yesterday the PRICELINE EXPRESS showed a dip in price for 3* Austin Central zone (GBP 35) and my first bid of GBP29 (approx USD48) was accepted. Great value for a 3* hotel. The only concern I have is that the majority of the booking sites (Hotels.com....) show no room availability for the selected dates for this hotel. I find this a little worrying as I thought hotels put their surplus and unsold rooms through PL. I have checked the confirmation email and all is correct however I will be ringing the hotel direct to confirm. Alt
  3. It will be a sight seeing trip. Hope to see some of the 'must see' locations and will probably go for a day trip to the keys, south Beach and the architecture with perhaps a swamp/boat tour. Also will be spending 2-3 days around Tampa so any suggestions for zones there would also be appreciated :) Also hoping to spend around 75-80 plus tax/fees. Thanks
  4. I am planning on a 3 nights stay middle of November in Miami. I will have a rental car so am looking at reasonably priced zones with hotels that provide free parking. Are there zones that I would be guaranteed of getting a 2.5 - 3* hotel with free parking? Thanks
  5. Bid for 2 rooms for 4 nights. I was flexible with area so started low and increased bids slowly. Happy with the result as the hotel has decent reviews :) I don't think this hotel is in the current list so mods please update. Hotel is: Fairfield Inn And Suites Houston I-10 West/Energy Corridor 15111 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77094
  6. Won the Doubletree in Austin Central zone. Happy with the win :)
  7. Just won Renaissance New Orleans Pere Marquette Hotel (Downtown) for the 6 nights for $72. This was my first bid so probably can be had for less. A little unexpected because all during March my bids upto $83 were rejected. Thanks for the help :)
  8. The aim now is to get the least expensive 3* or better for these dates in a zone with easy public transport access to FQ area (Downtown zone as identified by you)
  9. I have tried FQ without success so I will now concentrate on Downtown and see if I can get a 3* and above at the lowest bid.
  10. I'm hoping to get a place for less than 80 but that might be wishful thinking. I might go down to 3* but not lower based on your advice. I have still plenty of time and will start to bid and use the free rebid zones. Thanks for your info.
  11. Thank you for the quick reply. I am not familiar with New Orleans. Is FQ and other touristy areas easily accessible from Downtown using public transport and will it be easy and safe to return late at night? If so I am more than happy to stay in Downtown area. I will also be more than happy with a 3.5* hotel. Thanks
  12. First time visit to New Orleans between May 20 to 26 and I am struggling with a bidding strategy. I have gone up to $82 for 3.5* in FQ without success. The prices seem to be very high for that week. I am willing to stay in neighbouring areas but am not familiar with this city and as we won't have a car if we are too far from FQ or away from public transport then we will struggle. Any help with various bidding strategies/areas to bid on would be appreciated. (I am willing to go down to 2.5* for a suitably located hotel)
  13. Won bid at $43. Four Points By Sheraton San Antonio Northwest 6809 North Loop 1604 West
  14. Won bid at $42. First Bid with Fiesta Texas - La Cantera area selected. This is the Springhill Suites San Antonio Northwest/Medical Center at 11426 Ih-10 West as there are two properties with similar name. Dates: 3 nights 9th Dec - 12th Dec :)
  15. I am mad at myself as I thought I knew better how Priceline worked even though PL gives this chain as a example of a 1* hotel. Have won this super 8 for 27 May to 31 May in area Fiesta Texas - La Cantera :) Too ashamed to say how much as I could have got this cheaper direct After checking reviews of this place it gets worse and worse. Even more than one recent reviewer at PL's own site warns of roaches in the room. Anyone has experience of how someone can appeal the rating of this hotel? Phoned PL and was given the standard line that yes it it a 2* hotel :) Mods, please add to the hotel list as a warning for others
  16. 27May - 31May (4 nights) $55.00 + fees /night Facilities: Complimentary Breakfast Fitness Center Pool(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities (self-service) Recommended in 100% of customer reviews Thanks
  17. Won bid at $43. First Bid with Fiesta Texas - La Cantera, Medical Centre,Market Square Area areas selected. This is the Springhill Suites San Antonio Northwest/Medical Center at 11426 Ih-10 West as Hotels.com shows two properties with similar name. Dates: 1 night 12th June - 13th June
  18. Please let us know how your stay went as I also won the Four Points for a priceline stay later in the year and would appreciate some first hand reviews.
  19. Won this today for 1 night in October. Not the best reviews in Trip Advisor but still a great deal hopefully :)
  20. Update: RI was fine and much better than what I read in Tripadvisor. Admittedly the buildings are not new and the a/c was noisy but it was reasonably clean, quiet and with comfortable bed. I do still think the 3* might be a little high when compared to the Hyatt Place which was excellent. The only advantage of RI is the full kitchen facility that could be useful for multi days stay. Overall a very happy customer to both RI and HP :)
  21. Also, if possible could someone please update the Hotel List as the RI (4041 Bluemel) is showing as 2.5*
  22. This bid was won on 29th April. The final bid areas were Northwest, Medical Centre, Market Square Area. I am a little disappointed as I was hoping for the Hyatt Place and also Residence Inn has a pretty bad TripAdvisor rating but we will see....
