  1. Hello, just need a little help identifying this unreported listing in Miami. Zone: Brickell - Financial District 4* 1/28 - 1/30 $173 Amenity List: Free Internet Smoke-free rooms Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access No reviews, no trip advisor score Admittedly this is not a lot to go on. I'm leaning towards one of the new retail listings: East, Atton or Nuovo. Nuovo seems least likely as I believe that it would be listing as a condo or all-suites type property. Any ideas?
  2. Thanks to BiddingHelper.com for helping me find a good price on a decent place to stay in LA. Prices are through the roof, with anything from Downtown to Santa Monica starting at $250. Even the Line itself is $299 retail, so this results in a good amount of money saved.

  3. Used BiddingHelper.com.com as always to score this deal in Portland. Retail rates were a little high for this mid-week, high season stay.

  4. A little late in reporting this one, but what a fantastic deal. It is low season, but still this was a very nice win. Used BiddingHelper.com.com as always to book.

  5. Interestingly enough, I did not have to pay the resort fee. I guess it was built into the Priceline fees. But seems like I remember having to pay this in past Priceline/Hotwire stays.
  6. Also, please note that the Grove Park is now in the Asheville North zone.
  7. Used BiddingHelper.com as always to book this nice deal in Asheville. Asheville is one of the nation's most inexplicably overpriced hotel markets. It's a nice place to visit and all, but really? Made backup reservations at the Grove Park several months ago at $360. Many hotels in the downtown area were already sold out and even questionable 3* hotels like the Four Points were asking for $300+. Prices started to come down a couple of weeks ago, I guess as cancellations started coming in and anticipated demand didn't materialize. Made new backup reservations at the Renaissance for $258. Decided to check again today and found 4* deals on HOTWIRE and PRICELINE EXPRESS from $189-$210. So decided to try my luck at NYOP. Bid $179 just prior to winning, so I got the exact dollar lowest winning bid. Also, please note that the Grove Park is now in the Asheville North zone.
  8. Well this one didn't work out as well as I hoped. Used Bididng.Helper to book this several weeks ago, though just now reporting to the board. This would not have been my first choice - nor second through tenth - but c'est la vie. Please note that Hotwire had this hotel as "Best Western Merian Am Rhein," but it is no longer a Best Western property (nor was it when I purchased either.)

  9. Pleased to be the first to report this property and the first to report any Priceline listing in Basel. Used Bididng.Helper as always to book this deal. Retail rates were $168, so a decent savings there. Amenity List: Pet Friendly Non-Smoking Restaurant This is all that is showing on my current reservation. There is a similar listing now that also includes Free Internet, but I don't remember if that was on the list when I purchased or not. It does seem like there were more than 3 options when I booked though. There was no specific pet policy listed even though there was a Pet Friendly amenity. There were several other rooms types listed including ones with a King Bed, a Superior room, and a suite or two. None of those are showing now, so I can't give a specific list.
  10. Used BiddingHelper.com as always to score another great deal! Pleased to report this new property to the board. I correctly predicted this one and was thrilled when I got it as this is one of my go-to properties in Basel (other being the Swissotel.) I dipped my toes in the water though by booking first for one room for one night. Once I got confirmation on that one, I quickly made the rest of the bookings. A good bit of savings here as I had backup reservations at the Ramada for $160. Non-refundable rates through the hotel directly were $140. There were actually 2 different amenity lists. Amenity List 1: Free Internet Pet friendly Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Restaurant(s) Business center Internet access Amenity List 2: Free Internet Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Restaurant(s) Internet access
  11. Used BiddingHelper.com as always to book this nice deal in Prague. Based on the available information, I correctly predicted the identity of this hotel, and was pleased when proven correct. This is a well-reviewed hotel in a great location. Retail prices were $118 non-refundable, $145 flexible, so I'm saving a good deal of money here.

  12. Used BiddingHelper.com to book this nice deal. Was so glad to find this, since I've been watching for several weeks. Prices have been over $200 across the board, so nice to get this discounted rate at the last minute.

  13. Very pleased to report this new HOTWIRE listing to the board. Used BiddingHelper.com as always to find and book this great deal in Toronto. Retail rates were $224 at the Thompson, so I'm saving a good bit of money here. Very excited to get to try out this well-reviewed hotel. Amenity list: Boutique hotel Fitness center Restaurant(s)
  14. Yes, it's possible it was, but it wasn't too far off. It's showing up as $69 today and there are several deals in the $70-$80 range.
  15. Is this the lowest price ever for a 4* in Manhattan? I mean it's just crazy. Used BiddingHelper.com as always to find this fantastic deal. Backup bid at the Hilton Fashion District for $119. Retail rates at the Crowne Plaza were $179, so a bit of a head scratcher.

  16. Won this good deal in NYC for this weekend. This was a case where it paid to wait. Even opaque bidding prices had been quite high for a while, but tumbled down recently. Backup bid was at the Westin for $219, though this was made several weeks ago and retails prices had fallen to about $190. So a good amount saved there.

  17. It was a very nice stay and it's a great property, so I was disappointed for nothing!
  18. W Hotel - The Foshay is now a 4.5* Priceline hotel. Was a little disappointed honestly because I thought I'd get the Radisson Blu, which was my preferred choice. But this is still a good property and a good deal. Retail prices are $127 non-refundable / $154 refundable. And this was the exact dollar lowest possible winning bid as I bid $95 just before winning at $96.
  19. Pleased to report this new listing in Amsterdam. The hotel is a new-ish renovation and seems well-reviewed. Used BiddingHelper.com as always to book this deal. I actually won this several weeks ago when the board was down for an upgrade. Retail rates are $101 non-refundable, $111 flexible - so a decent savings.

  20. Just stumbled upon an unlocked PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for the Hotel 48LEX New York, formerly a Hyatt property, and thought I'd report it to update the board's listing. The pet policy is identical to the one reported for the Hyatt. In addition to the amenities already reported, it now also lists Free Internet. Was given a Bed Choice of (well not really a choice since that usually applies more than one option): Room Assigned At Check-in - Sleeps Two Adults - 1 Bed Requested
  21. Used the new and improved BetterBidding.com and BiddingHelper.com - as always - to find and book this fantastic deal in Berlin. Swissotel is actually my favorite place to stay in Berlin, and I'm thrilled to see it show up again on HOTWIRE. The incredible value of Berlin's 5* accommodations - often under US$100/night - is one of the best kept secrets in travel. This deal is no exception and even the retail rates were quite reasonable at $100 non-refundable, $125 flexible.

  22. Very excited to get this fantastic deal at a top notch property in Hong Kong (ranked #15 in Trip Advisor.) This used to be known simply at the Langham Place Mong Kok. Retail prices were $202 non-ref, $258 flexible, adding up to a nice bit of money saved.

  23. Used Bidding.Helper.com as always to score this nice deal at Fisherman's Wharf. Retail prices were $174 non-refundable / $199 flexible, so a decent savings there. This hotel is now listed as a Hot Rate Boutique Hotel w a 90% recommendation rating, though Boutique Hotel is not one of the amenities listed (don't know if that is still a separate amenity from the hotel type description though).

  24. Used BiddingHelper.com to find another great deal. This was an almost last minute booking that I purchased on Saturday afternoon for a Sunday night stay. Had backup bid at the Dana Hotel for $179, so this saved me a good bit of money. Amenity list: Free Internet Boutique hotel Smoke-free rooms Fitness center Restaurant(s) Internet access Spa services
