Hi, BetterBidding. Looking for a two bedroom condo and found this Express Deal I believe is Grande Villas. Can you give me your assessment? 8+ Guest Rating and $12 nightly mandatory fee. Thanks!!

Saw what appeared to be this Holiday Inn offered as a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for $41 a night in the Celebration zone, so I bid $40 on Name Your Own Price and won 1st bid. Holiday Inn Orlando SW - Celebration Offer price:$40.00/night Adjusted room price (bid) with Hotel Fee Credit:$39.97/night Hotel fee:$17.03 Number of rooms:1 room Number of nights:1 night Room subtotal:$40.00 Taxes & fees:$10.60 Hotel fee credit:- $0.03 Total charged today:$50.57 Total cost:$67.60 I think I saved about $4 instead of using the PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal or buying straight out from the non-opaque PRICELINE hotel listing. Started bid using board link. Thanks, Betterbidding!!

Using HOTWIRE link, searched for 1 room with 4 adults. Chose 2-bedroom suite under amenities and clicked on $70 3* condo with 85% satisfaction listing. Banner appears saying "Book soon! The last person got the Bryan's Spanish Cove" and when I checked out TripAdvisor and the property website, decided to take a chance it was the exact property I would win. Bingo! Using BiddingHelper.com: FULL AMENITIES: Free parking, 2-bedroom suite, Full kitchen, Air conditioning, Laundry in room, Pool(s), Front desk, Internet access, Golf nearby, Kitchenette Room $140.00 ($70.00 per night x 2 nights x 1 room) Taxes & fees$32.04 Hotwire Total (USD)$172.04 Resort fee$18.00 (Due at hotel) Trip total (USD)$190.04 Trip total per night (USD)$95.02 (includes resort fee) Thanks BetterBidding!!

Aww. Thanks for the concern. Stuff happens and sometimes it's not so good...but thankfully I had not made a non-refundable travel plan to add to my stress. This board has saved me time and time again! Sure appreciate you, BetterBidding!

Thanks; always begin my searches using the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links from the board. Sure would have been great if it was a true reveal!

Thread closed; am currently browsing various dates and properties on both Priceline and Hotwire (too many to ask for assistance at this time). Just curious about the reliability of that Hotwire header when it occasionally appears.... Thanks for your valuable service!

Trip was cancelled due to family emergency. Thanks, BetterBidding!

Hello Better Bidding, I haven't tried Hotwire for a while and was intrigued that when you choose a Hot Rate Hotel hidden property, a banner appears across the page that urges one, "Book soon!The last person got (revealed name of property). Is this reliable? Thanks for all you assistance!

Thinking this might be the Courtyard Orlando South at John Young Parkway....

Started at the board PRICELINE link and named my own price ($55) to extend an existing one night reservation (see other post). For some reason, the "Add a Night" link on my Priceline confirmation was a broken link. The front desk did not make me check out and in again to stay a total of three nights, they handled it with no bother to me. Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh South Side 3 out of 5 star Hotel 20 South Tenth Street, Pittsburgh , PA Check-in: Wed, Jan 20, 2016 - After 03:00 PM Check-out: Fri, Jan 22, 2016 - 12:00 PM Offer price: $55.00/night Number of rooms: 1 room Number of nights: 2 nights Room subtotal: $110.00 Taxes & fees: $23.10 Total charged today: $133.10 Woot! PRICELINE saved me a bunch of dough on this trip!

Saw what appeared to be this property as a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for $61 a night with these amenities: Free breakfast, free internet, business center, swimming pool, fitness center, and a guest rating of 8+. Looked over all other 3 stars in that area and decided to risk Name Your Own Price to win it cheaper, bidding $50 (fail) and $55 (win). I knew there was an extra charge per night for parking because I guessed the property and read the full Priceline description for it. Visited the hotel website and learned there is a free shuttle service within 3 miles and that was a BIG plus since snow was predicted and I don't know the first thing about driving in snow! Only booked one night in case it wasn't great because it sits right next to the train tracks. Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Pittsburgh South Side 3 out of 5 star Hotel 20 South Tenth Street, Pittsburgh , PA Check-in: Tue, Jan 19, 2016 - After 03:00 PM Check-out: Wed, Jan 20, 2016 - 12:00 PM Offer price: $55.00/night Number of rooms:1 room Number of nights:1 night Room subtotal: $55.00 And then at check in...The front desk treated me like royalty despite the 3rd party booking and I received a huge room with two queen beds, sitting area, view of the river, fridge, microwave and Keurig. The bath had soft, fluffy towels and Bath & Body Works toiletries. OMG! Immediately bid again for the rest of my Pittsburgh stay (see separate priceline win) and the front desk was kind enough to link the two reservations without my needing to check out and in again. The shuttle drivers took me everywhere I needed to go: CMU, restaurants on Carson St., the Conservatory, the Mon Incline, etc. I parked my darn rental car ($14 a night) and never gave the snow another thought, except to admire the beauty! This place suited me perfectly and was such a deal. Thanks, Betterbidding!!

Started from board link and booked a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for Pittsburgh Airport at $55 a night using a 10% coupon from my email. Amenities: Free Breakfast Free Internet (in Room) Free Parking Pet Friendly Shuttle Non-Smoking Gym Handicap Accessible Business Center La Quinta Inn Pittsburgh Airport 2.5 out of 5 star Hotel 8507 University Boulevard, Pittsburgh , PA Check-in: Mon, Jan 18, 2016 - After 03:00 PM Check-out: Tue, Jan 19, 2016 - 12:00 PM Room price: $55.00/night Didn't know a thing about the area and was arriving after 9 pm, so this choice worked out well. Super friendly front desk and very quiet night's sleep for an airport property. Clean, comfortable room with ample free breakfast and free parking.

Found this PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for the nights I needed and used a 10% off coupon from my email. Failed to make a list of the amenities, but the Stonewall may be distinguished from the Holiday Inn by the 9+ user rating. The reservation under my account lists these amenities: Indoor Pool, Business Center. Began bid using board PRICELINE link: Stonewall Jackson Hotel And Conference Center 3 out of 5 star Hotel Check-in: Thu, May 19, 2016 - After 04:00 PM Check-out: Sun, May 22, 2016 - 12:00 PM Room price: $75.00/night Number of rooms:1 room Number of nights: 3 nights Such a bargain for this property at this time of the year! Thanks, Betterbidding!

Offer price: $80.00/night Number of rooms: 1 room Number of nights: 2 nights Room subtotal: $160.00 Taxes & fees: $27.76 Total charged: $187.76 Savings: You saved 37%* Exact repeat of a rejected bid I made in early December. Should have started lower as this hotel is now featured as a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal at $81 per night (no amenities that I can see, only a choice of bed type). Proof you should always do your homework before giving a bid another try! Satisfied, however I don't know how much a "resort fee" and parking will add to the nightly bill.

Wow. Priceline really chopped it up good. Now there are 19 Orlando zones and my recollection is that there were 13. Maybe the economic recession is over....

Searching for a 3* in the Downtown Disney/Lake Buena Vista area and noticed today that Priceline has divided it into a new Zone called Disney Area/Lake Buena Vista East. Definitely going to make it easier to determine which side of I-4 your hotel will be located, depending on which you bid! When did they create this split? Thanks!
