The bidding strategy did not work for us and was time consuming. The couple decided to book through a traditional booking site.
I got the The Wyndham Dallas Suites - Park Central through HOTWIRE at $90/night oct 25-27, 2013
September 22-Sept 23 2012

Thanks, then I will eliminate the downtown locations. I'll stick to the Galleria area. Are there any recommended areas on the east side?
Hello everyone, I need to go to Dallas this Friday through Sunday. I would like to pay no more than $60 a night for a hotel in downtown Dallas (or close but not too much to the west). I have no idea what areas are nice but I do know that I want to keep central. I don't want to pay for parking.I am trying to come up with a bidding strategy. What do you suggest? I would consider the Galleria area if hotels are cheaper.
It's for 1 person and I have bid for other cities in the past.
Just a short note to say that I booked the Hotel Indigo at Galleria for $57/night in the Galleria, Houston.
no. I will leave mte off, for now. however, if the strategy fails, i will add mte as the couple comes from a big city and are familiar with having to walk long distances. i once won the barclay intercontinental and that was a nice option.Note that when bidding 3.5* and lower, MTE has some 'known' hotels can be up to a 15 minute walk to the subway... is this acceptable?
since they are on a honeymoon i will first try for a 3.5* up to the limit (the limit is $250 including taxes). Then if that does not work, then the least expensive 3* or above. A 3* in a great area would be good.Also, did you want to try for a 3.5* first up to your limit OR is the goal the least expensive 3* or better for this trip?
HI, considering that the hotels seem to be expensive at this time of year, we are also including MTE.

HI guys, tomorrow is my daughter's birthday and i will like to surprise her with a staycation in a 4* hotel in Austin. i would really love to get the W, and prefer NOT to have the ATT hotel and conference center. I don't know why it is considered downtown because it is not where we traditionally consider downtown.
Can you suggest a bidding strategy for one night starting tonight? If there isn't a way to eliminate the ATT hotel, i am fine with that too.
Thanks
Thanks. You were right. It was the Ramada Marina del Ray
Sure. July 20-22nd.
2 adults and 2 children
Hi, any guesses as to which hotel this is 2* $176/night for 2 adutls/2kids. Santa Monica-Venice-Marina del Rey area hotel. amenities: high-speed internet access, free parking, free breakfast.
$175 seems quite high for a 2*

Wow! Thanks those are excellent ideas! I will discuss with my friends and be back to purchase through your HOTWIRE link.
Thanks for your reply. To avoid problems we will search for 3 adults and 1 child (just to see if we are lucky in getting 3 separate beds or a larger room.) NOw I have another question:
We are driving to New Orleans, thus need parking for the car. I have been doing the math for the possible 4* hotels, and eventhough the hotels are quite inexpensive, the parking rate is outrageous. About 20/day to self park and 32/day for valet parking. Some hotels don't even have self parking. So, when you add everything, the price might end up being the same as in a regular hotel. So, my question is:
- Any suggestions on where to park the car inexpensibly? We are targeting hotels downtown or the French Quarter.
- Are there any hotwire hotels (perhaps *3) that offer free parking? I noticed that some 3* hotels in hotwire were at the same price as the 4* hotels. Perhaps the 3* have free parking?
Thanks
Thanks. The wierdest thing is that if i search by 2 adults and 2 children, i get the same price as 2 adults and 1 child ($83.00). but if it is 3 adults, then it is $110.00/night.
i wonder what is the discrepancy.
Thanks for your tips. I recommended the same exact things you suggested, after I read the mixed reviews online.
Hellow guys, i have two questions:
1) can you ID this 4* hotel in French quarter. it came up at $110.00 a night for 3 adults and $85 for 2 adults and 1 child. Amenities are:
Free Internet
Smoke Free Rooms
Fitness Center
Pool(s)
Restaurant(s)
Business Center
High-Speed Internet Access
2) I am looking for a room for 3 people, preferably 3 separate beds. Which gives me a better chance of getting 3 separate beds? Searching by 3 adults or 2 adults and 1 child. I did notice that if I search for 2 adults and 1 child i get a cheaper price.
Thanks
very excited about the win
SUCCESS!!!!
