Used the Better Bidding Priceline link. Conrad San Juan, Condado Plaza Wed, Mar 2, 2011 to Sun, Mar 6, 2011 Started bidding at $101 and used free re-bids in $3 increments. I got two free re-bids for $25 extra at $101 and $104, but declined both. Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $116.00 Subtotal: $464.00 Taxes & Fees: $65.20 Total Charges*: $529.20 This resort also charges a resort fee of 14% which is not reflected in total above. I was booked at the La Concha for $1200 total for the same nights, so I am happy to save $600!

1st Bid was rejected on a midsize rental car: $9/day + $1.67/day bonus cash = $10.67/day 2nd Bid was accepted on a standard rental car from Alamo for: $10/day + $1.67/day bonus cash = $11.67/day With taxes and fees my 9 day rental costs a total of $208.91 Sorry, forgot to use the PRICELINE link :)

Used the HOTWIRE link... Last week, got the 4* Scottsdale Resort for $59/night + an additional $4/night to guarantee two queen beds. Here are the amenities: Resort Smoke Free Rooms Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Fitness Center Golf Nearby Spa Services High-speed Internet Access Business Center Tennis Nearby Airport Shuttle Not exactly thrilled about the prospect of paying an additional $16 nightly resort fee. Next time, I won't bid on a resort.

Thanks for the input!! I think we will hold off a few days until a hotel becomes available which is more identifiable.

Thanks for the reply! I am not seeing the original 3* Scottsdale property for $53 either. I'm pretty sure it was a 3* though. Now I am seeing yet another 3* Scottsdale hotel - this time for $59. Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-speed Internet Access

Hello all, I'm taking a trip to Scottsdale and need a hotel for the night of Friday, Dec 18 for 4 adults. I found a few hotels I'm interested in, but just wanted to be somewhat sure I know what I'm getting: 3* Scottsdale - $53 Resort Smoke Free Rooms Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby 3* North Scottsdale - $53 Airport Shuttle Complimentary Breakfast Pool(s) Laundry Facilities High-speed Internet Access Any help in identifying these hotels would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The amount should be $79 and the dates are 5/30/09 to 5/31/09... sorry about that.

The amenities are: Complementary breakfast, Pool, laundry facilities and high-speed Internet access. After bidding up to $71 for a 3* hotel in Charleston (Ashley River) on Priceline, and up to $92 for a 2.5* hotel in Charleston (Downtown) on Priceline, I gave up and took the $79 Hotwire rate for a 3* hotel in Ashley River. Unfortunately, the hotel reviews are not exactly good for the La Quinta Inn Charleston-Riverview on Tripadvisor. (I'm alittle shocked its considered a 3*). I guess its only 1 night :) The retail rate is $119. Used the HOTWIRE link on this site.

I expected to pay much more than this, so I am happy with the result: 4* $105 MTW - rejected 4* $110 MTW + UES - rejected 4* $115 MTW + UES + UWS - rejected closed browser 4* $105 MTE - rejected 4* $110 MTE + UES - rejected 4* $115 MTE + UES + UWS - rejected 4* $121 MTW + MTE + UES + UWS - accepted!!!

I'm fairly new to using Priceline.com, so I'm not sure if the strategy I used is deemed 100% correct - but I am happy with the outcome, considering the price on other sites is $199/night! I was looking for a 4* hotel in the Georgetown or Dupont Circle areas. I took advice from another thread saying how adding areas to your bid that do not have a particular star rating available is essentially like having a free bid. Started with: $65 - 4* Georgetown-Foggy Bottom (rejected) $70 - 4* Georgetown-Foggy Bottom, added Crystal City (rejected) $75 - 4* Georgetown-Foggy Bottom, Crystal City, added Springfield (rejected) $80 - 4* Georgetown-Foggy Bottom, Crystal City, Springfield, added Alexandria - Old Town (rejected) Closed out of browser $65 - 4* Dupont-Woodley Park (rejected) $70 - 4* Dupont-Woodley Park, added Crystal City (rejected) $75 - 4* Dupont-Woodley Park, Crystal City, added Springfield (rejected) $80 - 4* Dupont-Woodley Park, Crystal City, Springfield, added Alexandria - Old Town (accepted) Thanks for everyone's help!
