Started at $49, went up 41 to $54... received the Hilton.

4/29/11 - 5/1/11 Started at $50, went to $81 in Buckhead zone. No luck.

Checking in 4/29/11, one night. Started at 45, went up $5 each time. Bid 3* and above in Franklin. Used all the areas with 2.5 and lower. No luck. Many of the hotels in the Nashville area are sold out for that night, so not surprised.

Bid $9; got free rebid. Bid $11 and got Alamo.

Started at $40; went up $1 and got Le Meridien Galleria for $44. Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $44.00 Subtotal: $176.00 Taxes & Fees: $35.48 Total Charges*: $211.48 Will take it! Not excited by fact that hotel seems to make valet parking mandatory, but pretty good price, otherwise. Used link PRICELINE link at top of page.

Started at $50, bidding only for Buckhead 4 *. Added non 4 * zones and increased bid by $2 each time. Got the Grand Hyatt for $54. I like the price, but was hoping for the Intercontinental, as I have never stayed there, but have stayed at the Grand Hyatt.

I listed in the original post "1st bid," but I can see how it could be easily overlooked or not clear. Anyhow, this was my first bid.

Started bidding at $50 for 4* in DT Indy for December 10. Increased bidding $5 each time and was accepted on 5th bid, at $70 for the Hyatt.

1st bid for November 20 & 21, 2005. Hyatt Regency Boston Downtown Boston - Charlestown One Avenue De Lafayette Boston, Massachusetts 02111 Your Offer Price: $50.00 Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Subtotal: $100.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $20.87 Total Charges: $120.87

Bidding for Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood airport (FLL). Started bidding for compact at $11. Priceline offered free bid if I increased the price. Increased to $12. Added economy and bid at $13. Changed day from 9/23 at 11:00 PM to 9/24 at 12:05 AM (still 2 day bid) and got economy at $14 from Avis.

Started bidding at $85, went up $5 each time and got Sheraton Bal Harbour at $95 (never added another area with resort, so was only bidding for resort in Miami Beach). Reservations for 9/23/05 - 9/25/05. As noted in a previous post, I previously bid on this up to $110 with no success. Got it at $95 the day before arrival, this time. Also, was rejected on resorts for Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale Beach up to $111 in a separate bid. Also noted in a previous post, I booked a room directly with new Marriott Hollywood Beach for $99/night, but was able to cancel.

I decided to book the brand new Marriott Hollywood Beach directly. Travelzoo had a promotion for $99/night and you get free buffet breakfast each morning. The hotel was opened in June 2005, and the parking is relatively cheap (valet is $9/day, with self-park being cheaper, but I forgot the rates). Not overly excited as I wanted either Diplomat, Marriott Harbour Beach or Sheraton Bal Harbour, but it was hard to not jump on this deal, especially for a brand new hotel. Rhoeffner - thanks for posting the rates for my dates. The Harbour Beach rates were hard to pass up, but when I factored in the difference in parking and the free breakfast, I had to go with the new Marriott.

My dates are 9/23/05 - 9/25/05. I also bid for Miami Beach for resort and went up to $110 with no luck. I found on Eden Roc's website that they had no rooms for my dates, so I felt comfortable that there was very little chance of me getting the Eden Roc when I really want the Sheraton Bal Harbour. Rhoeffner - what date are you bidding?

Started bidding at $70 for Resort in Fort Lauderdale Beach. Increased by $5 each time until end, which I think I went up by $10. Anyway, went up to $115. Closed out, restarted for resort in Hollywood at $80. Added FLL Beach and ended up using all free re-bids up to $130 with no success. Considering either booking Westin Diplomat directly with hotel or bidding on resort in Miami Beach. I'm just not too sure that I want to take the chance of getting the Eden Roc, I'd really rather have the Sheraton Bal Harbour in the Miami Beach area.

No, I'm wondering about the Trump International Sonesta Beach Resort in Sunny Isles, which is just north of Miami Beach. I can't find it listed anywhere as a possible hotel on Priceline. But, I have seen where the Sonesta in Key Biscayne has been won on Priceline.

Does anyone know if the Trump International Sonesta Beach Resort participates with Priceline? If so, what area would it be in...North Miami Beach? It is located in Sunny Isles Beach.
