Hi, Wanted to see if using priceline for long term stays in nyc is the best option. I am ok with pretty much any location but should be 3* or better. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. also, new jersey is an option if its close to the path. i was hoping to spend no more than $100 a night.

How do you know its canceled? I didn't get a email? Can I check on hotwire?

Does anyone know what hotel this could be? It offers Complimentary Breakfast and High Speed Internet. For the Vatican Area.

Thanks to thos Hotwire Florence post: I just booked it for $72 from Aug 19 to 21st. Hotel looks good and for the price in Florence, its not bad at all. Hope that all taxes are included already.

Started with a 4* in the same region for $80 but they didn't bite. So, I changed it to a 3* and made the bid of $68. Oh, the price is not a complaint, its a great deal. I just find the location far from the downtown core. What I should have done was changed the region to one that is closer to the city.

Hello, just won a bid for the Mercure Paris Porte De Versaille from Aug 26 to 29 for $68 a night. Not the best hotel in terms of location. In fact, Im a bit disappointed that I didn't do more research. Booked via SavingBarn of course.

Offered with Complimentary Breakfast for $75 Does anyone have an idea what hotel this is?

Thanks for the advice.

The dates were for Aug 13-15. Feels too good to be true but I will call the hotel to confirm.

Just won two nights at the Renaissance Prague for a total of $150 US after service fees etc... I think its a steal.

Date is Aug 12 to 13 for 2 ppl. I did check Accor as well and they have the Mercure Mitte for a good deal @ $70 all in. Is that a good location to stay at - as opposed to Friedrichshain?

Available for $50 and offers Complimentary Breakfast and has a Restaurant. Does anyone know what it is?

Followed up on the Hotwire Paris thread. Thanks for the reminder. As for San Fran. I think both Union Sq East or Sq West would be good. My first choices would be Union Sq and then Fisherman's Wharf.

The deal was gone when I checked back. So couldn't get the details.. Case closed.

Hello, Looking to go to San Fran from Aug 25 to 27. I am looking for the best strategy for bidding a 3 or 4* hotel (prefer 4* of course) during these dates in the area of Fisherman's Wharf and/or Union Square. How much should I expect to pay? Thanks.

Will this be the eiffel tower? It seems to be quite cheap for $110 for Aug.

Thanks for your suggestions. I will definitely use Priceline when booking Prague/Budapest. However, for the others, I might check the hotel prices directly and when bidding, I will not exceed that of the hotel direct cost. Have anyone tried booking hotels via Venere.com, looks like they have lots of hotels to choose from.

Hi, I am a big fan of this site and have won a few good deals on Priceline. Wanted to know if there are any best strategies for booking to Europe during August. I have very specific dates (so Im not flexible there) but will be flexible in the area and maybe drop down to a 3 star as well. The cities Im looking for are: Berlin Prague Budapest Vienna Venice Florence Milan Paris What does everyone suggest as the best starting bid? Is the best bet to look at what others have won (ie. Prague @ $110 etc) and bid accordingly? Thanks in advance, :)

I tried but kept getting rejected. Surprise too because others have gotten May 27 for $170 etc. So, I decided to give up this process and book the May 27 at the same hotel that I won for the 28-30th at the W Hotel. There is a deal going on now for $239 a night.

Congrats. Thats strange because I just tried MTE/MTW for May 27 and was rejected.. I went up to $145.

Yup, like Blueskies said. Started bid on $55 and then re-bid at $65. It still comes up to $85 after taxes.

OK - DONE. Thanks for the help, I went through savingsbarn.com of course. I started with $55 and then went straight to $65 and got the InterConti - NOT BAD at all. Now, I just need help with the NYC on May 27!

Both at the same time if possible. Mtl first - I guess.

Hi, I am looking for a 4* hotel on Thursday night, May 18 in Downtown Mtl. Do you think I can get it for under $70? Thanks.

Yes, all locations in NY will be fine. MTS, Downtown, MTE, MTW, UM Thanks.
