Sorry, I forgot to list the amenities that was listed for this hotel. The only thing that I remember now is that it was a Hollywood beach 4 star. I'll remember next time. EDIT by THEREAURE: amenities sent to me by the OP: Amenities: Retaurant,near beach, fitness ctr. pools, bus. ctr, hi speed internet, golf near by

A got the The Westin Diplomat Resort And Spa (4 star) on May 2rd for $79. I used the link on BetterBidding for HOTWIRE

No rental car. I think I'll go to $125 for a 4 star and $95 for 3.5 star. I do not want to bid for a 3 star, because I'm afraid we might get the Yankee Clipper again!

Zone 2, downtown. I really want zone 2 only, becuase be are coming in from a cruise that day (5/2) and leave for the airport the next day. I figure maybe be could get a place in the airport zone, but we are getting in 5/2 at 9am and don't want to stuck at the airport location with nothing to do during the whole day on 5/2. Like I said, really stange, because I got a 4 star for a Sat. night 4/24.

Is there something happening in Fort lauderdale the weekend of May 1st 2010? I've been bidding for a 5* up to $100 or a 3.5* up to $83 for May 2rd for the past seven days and no hit. I got a 4* for $95 the week prior (4/24) with no problem.

I used PRICELINE on the BetterBidding site.

We got the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale for 4/24, one night. $95

We got a room for the nights of 2/12/09 & 2/13/09 at the Sheraton Yankee Clipper for $80 per night! (We got it using the PRICELINE link on BetterBidding's site).

Thanks!!!!!

When booking two separate rooms, do I bid the total amount or per room. For example, if I want to bid $55 a room; do I bid $110 or $55? Thanks!

We got Country Inn & Suites in Tucson on the BetterBidding Web site for one night 5/26. We stayed there one other time. Clean, free breakfast. A comfortable 2.5* $42 plus $13.04 tax = $55.04

Got the Marina Del Rey Hotel for 4/21 thru 4/24 for $85. (Total with tax $301.11 3 nights) This Web site has this hotel as a 3*. I bid on a 2.5*

$143 is probably not high enough. I got a 4* in Sept for $173!

After a week of trying, I was able to get the Pacific Palisades in Vancouver for the weekend of 9/19-9/22/08 for $173 a day. The listed rate on their site was $252.94. Here's what happened: 3/3 bid $110...not accepted (I only bid one area/price a day because I had plenty of time) 3/4 " $115... " " 3/5 " $125 " " 3/7 " $130 " " 3/10 $140 " " 3/11 bid $148...not accepted, but asked me to raise my bid $25. I did and below are the results: room -$534.00 (173 per day) taxes -$92.82 I forgot to add I used the PRICELINE link on these boards.

Thought I'd share with all how I'm doing trying to get 4* in Vancouver (Downtown only) for our pre-cruise trip. We're looking at 3 nights, 9/19-9/22/08. Most of the 4*'s are going for around $250 per night on the Internet. I have plenty of time, so I've started out low; hoping to catch one at a good price. It's going to be tough, because it is the end of cruise season and it's on a weekend! 3/3 bid $110 rejected 3/4 bid $115 " 3/5 bid $125 " I'm going out of town until Sunday, so no bidding until then.

Is March too early to start bidding for a 4* in Vancover downtown for Late September?

Thank you!! That is a great site! I'll be bidding for a 4* for the 9/19-9/22 period in March. I'll REMEMBER to post the results when I get the room. Larry

There are seven area's/category's for bidding on Priceline for Vancouver. Is "Vancouver" the area to bid for downtown? Thanks for your help.

What "area" was this hotel?

We ended up not going because of sickness We stayed with friends. Went by the Embassy and it was in a good area. It would of be a very good 3 star.

We are arriving three days early for a cruise out of Vancover. We want to bid for three nigts starting on 9/19/08. Is it best to bid now or wait until July or August? Thx for reply's!

Does anyone know if The Embassy Suites in San Rafael, CA is included in any of PriceLines three star clusters?

This was the first time I have used PriceLine. Yesterday afternoon I bid on a 3 star hotel for 4/23 thru 4/26 in Santa Monica. My bid of $100 was not accepted. Today I tried again. I got a message of, "We were not able to process this request since our records indicate you have already made a request for this same trip" Does that mean if something comes up in the next week or so at that price, PriceLine will debit my card? How do I cancel that so I can call a hotel direct and do my own booking? That's for your replys.
