My apologies. It is downtown Montreal east. Thanks for checking.

This appears to be a new hotel...not on the pinned list. Hotel Amenities Free Internet Restaurant(s) Self-service laundry Internet access Used the $10 off HOTWIRE link on BB. Rate per night $45.00 Nights 4 Subtotal $180.00 Tax recovery charges + fees $51.08 Discount -$10.00 Hotwire total $221.08 Decent review from tripadvisor. Location is short walk from UQAM metro station and within a block of an airport bus stop. 10 minute walk to Old Montreal. Hopefully it will warm up at least a little in the next three weeks!

Looking for the cheapest place to stay (short of couchsurfing). Started with 1* $36 and incremented $1 with each bid. With all five Spokane zones selected, Crosslands came through. I've stayed here before. Rock hard bed so I will be bringing the aerobed to put on top of the mattress but I like the fact that I'll have a kitchen as i can cheaply do breakfast in the room. Just hear to visit family so will be spending very little time in the room.

Started out with a 4* bid in San Juan and got this on first bid. So so sorry, I forgot to use the BB PRICELINE link (I bid on PL so rarely these days that I'm out of the habit).

Trying to go really budget on this trip but still wanted to stay close to Disneyland. HOTWIRE offered 2* (both Disneyland North and Disneyland South) for $39. Tried the following PRICELINE bids just to see if I could get something cheaper. All bids rejected. 2* $26 Disneyland (Anaheim) $32 Added Disneyland (Garden Grove) 1* $26 Disneyland (Anaheim) $31 Added Disneyland (Garden Grove) 2.5* $32 Disneyland (Anaheim) $41 Added Disneyland (Garden Grove) At that point, I figured it would be cheaper for me to take the $39 2* from Hotwire (which is submitted on HW list). All bids initiated from BB PRICELINE link.

Last minute trip up to Vancouver for the weekend to hit the Boxing Day sales. Looking at as cheap as possible (could stay with friends, but this time of year, don't want to inconvenience people). Didn't really care about location as we have a car. I was all about finding the cheapest hotel that wasn't a youth hostel (which I've done before, spouse refuses to do that again). HW was showing a 3* for $59; 2* & 2.5* for $49. Because there's 8 zones altogether and I didn't care where we were located, I just started each round of bidding with downtown zones and worked outwards. 1* started at $26 and incremented $1 with each rebid. Ended at $33. All rejected. 2.5* started at $36 and incremented $1 with each rebid. Accepted at $28 with areas Downtown, Granville, & North Vancouver selected. This hotel does not appear on the PL pinned list, so please add. TA reviews are pretty mixed, so if we don't have a good experience, I'm sending a msg to PL.

Looks like this is new to the list. Amenities: Airport Shuttle Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities Millennium Hotel Anchorage (MU) 4800 Spenard Road, Anchorage,AK,99517 (907) 243-2300 Summary of charges Hotel rate per night - Hotwire hot Rate: $79.00 Nights: 5 Rooms: 1 Subtotal: $395.00 Tax recovery charges and fees: $50.83 Total price: $445.83 My unsuccesful PL bidding history is on the PL list. This hotel does appear on PL hotel list as a 3.5* but doesn't appear yet on HW list. Used BB links for both PRICELINE and HOTWIRE. Event sponsor was pleased as she knows how expensive Anchorage hotels are during the summer.

I'm doing some training in Anchorage this coming June (still six months away) but I know that's high season in Anchorage so thought I would investigate hotels. Turns out HOTWIREW listed a 3* for $79 for the duration of my stay, so thought I would see if PRICELINE could offer something cheaper. Since I'm not spending my own money, not a big priority for me to save money, but saving the sponsor at least some money means more money for other things. Arrival 6/14/10 Departure 6/19/10 - 5 nights I would be happy with either Downtown or South Anchorage-ANC Intl Airport as UAA is located south of downtown. Wasilla is listed as the third area but only has 1* hotels, so basically free rebid for all but my 1* searches. Each bid series started with South Anchorage, then added Downtown, then added Wasilla. 3.5* $60, $75, $90 (all rejected, last bid elicted a free rebid, so maybe close) 3* $64, $68, $72 (all rejected) 2.5 * $60, $64, $68 (all rejected) 2* $30, $34, $38 (all rejected) 1* $24, $28 (both rejected) Ended up going with HW and ended up at the Millennium Hotel Anchorage for $79/night. I've listed the details of that win on the HW page. If I was more interested in saving money, I could have waited until closer to the date, but locking in a reasonable rate on HW now was helpful to the sponsor for planning purposes. Used BB links to both HOTWIRE and PRICELINE.

In Worcester area for 2 nights to speak at a regional meeting at College of the Holy Cross (between Worcester and Auburn...either location fine) HOTWIRE showed a 2.5* for $44/night. 3* Worcester $42.

Attending a convention at the waterfront Convention Center.

Attending a conference and then taking a week vacation.

Wow, this must be a sign of the times as I see someone else won this hotel with a bid of $114. I'm attending a conference at UCLA and was looking for something more affordable than UCLA guest housing of $139/night. Ideally Brentwood/Westwood but also good bus connections from Santa Monica/Marina Del Rey & Beverly Hills/West Hollywood so I was bidding in those areas as well. HW was showing a 3* for $73 and 4* for $212(!) for comparable zones 4* started with Brentwood/Westwood at $58 (one can always dream). With 3 rebids altogether ended up at $82.

Was looking for someplace under $50. Didn't really care about location (downtown & valley preferable but not necessary) and hotel ranking wasn't critical (I'm willing to stay in a 1* if it's good value). Checked HW availability for that day and looked like I could possibly get a 3* for around $50. Made the same set of bids ($32, $37, $42, $47) at each rating (3*, then 2 1/2*, then 2*). Started with downtown, then added a zone with each bid (there are 2 free rebids at the 3* level and 1 at the 2 1/2 star). Winning bid was $37 for the 2* downtown Howard Johnson. I've stayed at this well-managed, conveniently located property before, so was pleased to get it again. Used the PRICELINE link from the BB home page to initiate bidding.
