I got it today with first bid of $100
Nh Barbizon Palace
I like the location right next to the train station. I thought this would be the hotel since it currently has the lowest price for my dates. Not the worst hotel with priceline. I'm pretty happy with the price.. =D Thanks for all your help.

We searched hundreds of options to find your hotel room, however we can't accept your offer of $90 per room, per night. Your credit card has not been charged for Request Number ###-###-###-##. If you are willing to raise your price by $22, you can try the same request again right now.

I think my max is 130. Shouldn't be a problem.
This topic has the stay for over a year so it's coming up everyday on the calendar.
I've been back and forth on whether to bid on Priceline for a Paris hotel. I don't really mind where I stay since I can ride the metro everywhere I need to go. This is my 3rd time to Paris and I know you mostly only sleep and nap in your room so I'm not so picky and I don't want to spend a lot of money. I noticed there is a VERY large difference between these large hotels
Tried bidding today using the PRICELINE Link for Central Amsterdam.

No price offers just straigt up denied. I will try again tomorrow.
First I want to say this is a great site!
When I use Priceline I always come here first, then I go to Trip Advisor. I notice you have links next to some of the hotels for Trip Advisor reviews. I always try to choose a star category or area with the best group of trip advisor reviews so I don't get a dud. It would be so nice if you had trip advisor star rating on the Hotwire/Priceline lists. This would be great cause then I would only have to go to one website! I don't know how involved something like that is, I suppose you would need permission from Trip Advisor. Also it would nice to be able to see winning bids for specific hotel by day of week. Like on the map feature or next to the topic post.
Again great site and I'll always use it no matter what!

I just stayed in this hotel off a PRICELINE bid for a very similar price in May. I got put in the priceline room too, not good. I went to the desk and asked to change rooms and they moved us. The new room was much better! Just tell them when you check in that you would like a room that does NOT have a window in the bathroom.
All done. Sorry about that.
Please follow-up your previous Hotwire Los Angeles thread with whatever you ended up doing for that stay and reply to the previous message we sent you... then bump this thread and we'll have a look at the above.

I usually end up booking the Venetian directly through their website. All my bids on priceline always get rejected. If the Venetian announces a special for your date I would suggest booking it, you could always cancel it. I doubt the prices will drop for priceline if it is on a special rate day. I booked the Venetian for 6/30 with their online special, I get a room upgrade, coupons, etc for $199/nt (Saturday). I noticed someone else got the same nice on priceline for $169, savings of $30, but I get the upgrade and the coupons for me that was worth it. I bet if you went onto priceline now and tried to get the Venetian for $169 on 6/30 you wouldn't get it since the special has been sold out on that date.

:) I just got served by priceline
Very strange that I got no bounce back for pricing. :) I know one of the hotels in this zone had rooms for $138/night. It's getting to rich for my blood and I think I'll just get a 3* in Denver West. Do you know how long I have to wait till I can bid on Denver West. I used the zone for one of my rebids.
Thanks Much!
It's the Golf Industry Show, it's going to take up the entire convention center. I just want to go to Disneyland :)
Travelzoo has a really good deal up for the Omni. I recently stayed down there and if you park in the parking garage right next to the Omni it's a lot cheaper than the valet. Also on the weekends parking isn't enforced so you can park on the street. Just make sure to read the signs carefully. Funny thing about the parking garage by the Omni. It says the fee for a lost ticket is less than the maximum they can charge you. I asked the guy when I was leaving if it would of been better for me to loose my parking ticket. He just smiled and said "I guess it would".... interesting.
So the Omni doesn't have all they dates you want but maybe you can split up your stay.
The Omni really is the nicest hotel I've stayed in down there, by far the nicest! :)
Best

Have you seen the packae the venetian is doing on their website?

It comes out avg. 206/night and you get all these extras with a Venezia tower upgrade. =O
Your visit will include:
Venezia tower upgrade featuring: express check-in, complimentary shoe shine, daily newspaper delivery, & daily turn-down service
Buy 1 Gondola Ride get one at 50% off

I booked this for October I think it's a really good deal. The only thing is it's not offered saturday so I don't know if you get the upgrade for two nights. I would call and ask they are really nice on the phone.

Need Help Identifying 3* in Lakewood North/Golden
in Hotwire Hotels - Colorado
Posted
I was looking at this same one for July. HOTWIRE has a very limited area for this zone. I did a search on Hotels.com and the only hotel that matches is the TownePlace Suites By Marriott Lakewood
800 Tabor St
Golden, CO, 80401
866-539-0036
Really good reviews on Hotels.com, 3.5 on trip advisor. They allow pets. This is my best guess. I thought about bidding on PRICELINE but I'm afraid of getting the Holiday Inn which is too far east (wadsworth). The HOTWIRE zone only goes to Kipling. I would go for the Golden zone but 85/night for a 2.5 star does not seem like a good deal. I got a couple of rejected bids on PRICELINE for 3.5 star. I'll start a new post for that.
