Cuppaco

Started bidding at $50, then $54, then $56 (WIN) Started at Perimeter, then Buckhead, then Galleria. All 4 Star bids. Had $7 per night coupon code - netted hotel for $49 per night. Best "non-blind site" price for this hotel was $149.00 per night for Memorial Day weekend.

I've stayed at that property multiple times and it is a very nice property. Its an odd location in a business plaza, but views are nice and the self-parking is free. I don't think the other reviews do this hotel justice. The location is beautiful and the staff was very attentive. We stayed in a king on the ninth floor overlooking the lake w/ a beautiful view of the Atlanta. One of the reasons this is my favorite hotel in Atlanta is the location (near Perimeter Mall, close to 285 & 400) and the parking. Self-parking (in their well lit and security monitored lot) is FREE - vs. $28 downtown or $12 a night at the W Perimeter. I stayed two nights for my husband's 40th birthday (in Nov 2009), and booked through Hotwire and paid $52 a night (+ tax & Hotwire fees). Some of the reviews, make this place sound like high end roach motel, ITS NOT! The hotel's main areas are very nice. However, the rooms are getting worn (not terribly so), and are in need of some rejuvenation (scuffs on walls, wear on carpet). I've stayed in almost all of the 4 Star hotels in Atlanta, and the rooms are not the caliper of the Intercontinental in Buckhead (4.5 Star) or the Marriott Marquis downtown (4 Star). I think right now it is a 3.5, and with a little renovation to the rooms a 4 star for sure. However, I did receive 4 star service from the staff!!! I do want to comment on several reviews I read complaining about the same thing: 1) Price of internet. The charges are about the same as any other business/corporate hotel. You might be able to get free wifi at a 2.5 star hotel, but the hotels that cater to business travelers (w/ expense accounts) do charge. I don't think this is really anything "out of the ordinary" regarding the Westin chain or other 4 Star hotels. So, if you want free internet stay at a Holiday Inn. 2) "I didn't get a [specific type of room/bed]". If you paid through Hotwire/Priceline you cannot guarantee the size bed you will receive. Its on the agreement that no one reads when they book. All hotels which deal with these pre-paid 3rd party bargain sites do things the same way. You can call after you book and request a specific bed type, but that's all it is a request. They may or may not be able to honor it. So, if you HAVE TO HAVE a specific bed type, pay the extra $ and book directly with the hotel.

I've stayed at this hotel before (4/2010 for $53 a night via Priceline), and DESPITE what tripadvior says, I really like this hotel. The bathroom is one of the best I've had in an Atlanta hotel (the other being in very expensive Intercontinental in Buckhead). Its directly across the street from Perimeter mall and many dining options.

Bid @ $45 through the PRICELINE link for 4* in Perimeter area, for Thursday, March 17, 2011 through Sunday, March 20, 2011. Bid not accepted. Priceline counter offered for $60 for identical search. Re-bid @ $48 for 4* in Perimeter and Galleria for same dates. Bid accepted. W Hotel - Perimeter; total cost after tax/fees was $173.79. This hotel does charge $10 a day for in-room WiFi and $12-ish a day for self-parking (which is slightly unusual due to this location in the Atlanta 'burbs). But considering the price I paid - I don't mind too much. *As a side note, I think the W Hotel Perimeter is being offered at Hotwire for $60 today; it may or may not been a coincidence that what Priceline counter offered for*

Bid $45 + $5 bonus cash Perimeter 4* 4/24-4/26 DENIED Offered a free rebid if I would increase by $12. Bid $48 + $5 bonus cash Perimeter & Buckhead 4* 4/24-4/26 ACCEPTED W Hotel Perimeter Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $48.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $96.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $23.30 (USD) Total Room Cost: $119.30 (USD) Considering the pre-pay Best Rate Available for this Hotel on these dates is $395 (both nights w/ tax), I think I got a pretty good deal. We've never stayed at a W before, so we are pretty excited.

Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Tennis Best Value $53 a night (with the option to select bed for $56 a night) Westin North Perimeter Used HOTWIRE link Was turned down on PRICELINE for same dates, 4 Star hotel in Perimeter (w/ dummy zones: Kennasaw, Galleria, & Norcross) at $43, $46, $48 and $50. At the bid of $48 It did offer if I wanted to increase my bid to $66 that I could rebid w/o changes.

Westin Atlanta North Perimeter Zone: Perimeter 4* Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Smoke Free, Hi-Speed Internet, Business, Golf, Tennis I wasn't 100% sure it was the Westin, but the tripadvisor ratings were the same, so I took at chance since it was $46. Booked 11/6. HOTWIRE's online checkout wasn't working properly, so I had to call to book.

We won the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Downtown Atlanta for $149 a night, from Feb. 10 (Sunday) to Feb. 13 (Wednesday). The lowest I could find on any other site was $260 a night, so I am VERY HAPPY. This is the exact hotel we wanted. Features were Non-smoking, pool, business, fitness, resturant. I figured that it was the Westin (the non-smoking gave it away) with the TravelAdvisor.com information (3/5 with 200+ reviews).

I'm also interested in this 4* Atlanta Downtown Smoke-free, Fitness, Pool, Resturant, and Business. I'm thinking it is the Westin (from the completely non-smoking hotel). Its a little expensive, is there any chance the Hotwire price will go down before my travel dates? This is our honeymoon, so we are trying to get a nice hotel for under $200 a night. Thanks for the help.

Followed Up: BUMP!

Ended up at Westin in the Perimeter for $83 a night. I really like the location and the staff was WONDERFUL. We were there celebrating a special occassion (and even though we went through Priceline), they gave us free breakfast buffet coupons to use on both mornings of our stay. I bid: $75 4* Buckhead (DENIED), $77 4* Buckhead, Downtown (DENIED), $83 4* Buckhead, Downtown, Perimeter (ACCEPTED)

4* in Buckhead (Customer Favorite) Fitness, Pool, Resturant, Business Center, High-Speed Internet Adding the "You Save" + the offered price, it seems to be the room is regularly $345 a night. I didn't see a matching hotel with this criteria on the Hotwire list. Anyone have any guesses which hotel it is? I'd like to stay at the Intercontential or the Westin.

I am looking for a hotel from 3/24-3/26 4* in Buckhead or Downtown Atlanta. I understand rebidding and what to know what strategy I should employ and what are the rebidding zones are available? Thanks!
