  1. Offer came unsolicited from HOTWIRE. Since I have been trying to book in this area thru PRICELINE without success (no free rebids in 3* Irvine Spectrum, so it is tedious), I jumped on it. delighted
  2. New Prices seem to post on Mon./Tues. Started bidding at $65. Was counter offered at $87. Since I had plenty of free rebids, I Continued bidding. Connected at $80.Used PRICELINE link. delighted
  3. Tried bidding for 3 1/2* in Downtown Des Moines for two sessions, bidding from $50 to $100 with no success. Changed to West Des Moines 3* and got this right away at $80. Nice hotel, and they don't charge for parking (like downtown). Retail rate before taxes is $179. Used BB's PRICELINE link on a completely fresh session (no Priceline contact prior to the BB session).Keep up the great board. delighted
  4. Thanks for the late night reply. I invariably use the links on BB, it is only fair to reward you for the information I use to bid. The issue here is do you have information available for me to base my bid on. As stated, I can find no posts for an area that, in the past, has drawn a fair share of posts. Thanks for your reply, Delighted
  5. In the Priceline Hotel List for California, you show lists for Orange County (Laguna Hills-Mission Viejo). You ought to update this to Orange County (Irvine Spectrum - Laguna Hills - Mission Viejo) which is Priceline's current descriptor. More troubling is that I can find no winning bids in this area going back 6 months. Any thoughts about what is happening here? I plan to be travelling to this area in Feb. and could use the winning bid info to make my bids. Thanks for the board and your help. Delighted
  6. Amenities shown: Airport Shuttle Pool Complimentary Breakfast Laundry Fitness Center
  7. First bid was $45 in DT, thinking I would get SpringHill Suites. Added South and $5 and got this. Ramada is my least loved chain. Keeping my fingers crossed.
  8. Won this on first bid. Expecting Savery at $70, but I'm happy.
  9. Tried bidding 4* Alexandria up to $85 but no luck. Got this on opening 3.5* Crystal City bid at $45.
  10. Won on opening bid. Linked to PRICELINE through link on BB site.
  11. Started bidding at $70 and increased in $5 increments. Really would have preferred Hyatt Regency Embarcadero's easier access t BART, but no complaints.
  12. Got this on my first bid of $50. Linked thru SavingsBarn. Thanks for all that you do. BTW I previously tried 3* in Newport-Huntington from $50 through $70 with no luck. Go figure. Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year
  13. WoW! great idea and first class execution! Nice if you could include posting date as well as stay dates. I have a suspicion that different hotels release rooms at different "lead times" and this would give a good hint about whether waiting might get access to better pricing. keep up the really innovative thinking ! DELIGHTED
  14. Thanks for asking. I thought that I had reported it as 4.5*. In any event, it is 4.5*. Sorry for any inconvenience. Good catch. Delighted
  15. Amenities as listed, Rest, Fitness, Business Center. Stayed here in the past at $99. There is an excellent French restaurant across the street...the Grand Cafe. Hotel had no exterior signage last time, so if you are driving, look for the valet. (Actually there is a tiny sign up high that you won't notice until you tell them that there is no sign.) BTW. I booked this on Hotwire because Priceline's zones in SF put you at risk of being in a run down area, even in USW (eg the Hilton or the Nikko). SF isn't really a dangerous town, but it is a magnet for the homeless and panhandlers of every ilk. Delighted
  16. Started bidding at $43, increased $4-5 per step.Used two of three free rebids. Total cost = $52 +$12.86 = $64.86.
  17. Probably could have gotten this for less if I had booked earlier. No quibble. Started at $50 and raised $5 each try. Fortunately here are 7 retrys at 4*. Got this in 4, but wouldn't have gone higher.
  18. Started bidding at $65 with the expectation that I would get Renaissance or Hyatt Regency at $70 - $80. Must be busy days in Baltimore. The good news is that there a lot of free rebids in Baltimore.
  19. Hilton Alexandria Mark Center. This is a very nice hotel and the 3 1/2 * rating is valid. The $73 price is excellent for the general area, but only $7 less than was available on the Hilton site for the same night. Note that parking was an additional $8 per night, so the Hotwire rate was like getting the parking free. Amenities were Restaurant, Pool, Fitness and Business center. In addition, it was listed as a Best Value! and a Customer Favorite. No quibbles, it was an excellent value, a very nice room. One note of caution, however. While listed as "Alexandria & Old Town", the hotel is about five (5) miles from the Old Town area of Alexandria. It is located at the intersection of Seminary Rd. (Route 420) and I-395, which makes it great for driving into Washington, DC, but really a poor location if you are visiting Old Town Alexandria. The hotel staff were very nice. We got a room on the 28th floor that looked out on the Washington Monument and DC. I didn't try the restaurant, but with so many good restaurants in DC and in Alexandria, you would have to be in a big rush to want to eat there.
  20. Amenities are identical to amenities for Hyatt Regency Monterey...Restaurant, Pool, Fitness, Business Center, Golf, Tennis. Since I had not seen this hotel reported my initial thought was that I had gotten the Hyatt Regency. I haven't stayed at either hotel in the past, so I don't know that it makes a difference.
  21. Yes, Indeed it is in Union Square west. My apologies for taking so long to reply to your question.
