Have been bidding for the San Francisco Airport area for about four weeks in the $70-$150 price range but all failed. It seems that it is important to be closer to the date of arrival -- I didn't get this filled until the day of my checkin. Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $90.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $180.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $36.62 (USD) Total Room Cost: $216.62 (USD) Going directly to their site the lowest rate would be: Best Available Rate $249 Booked using the betterbidding.com PRICELINE link above. This should be FOUR star.

Have been bidding for the Seattle Airport for about two weeks in this price range but all failed. It seems that it is important to be closer to the date of arrival. Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $50.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $50.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $15.11 (USD) Total Room Cost: $65.11 (USD) Going directly to their site the lowest rate would be: 1.

Was trying to get the Candlewood Suites again in Meridian, but failed at the $35 bid, so I added the airport area in Boise and upped the price to $40 and got it the first time.

During this summer we've stayed at multiple hotels, some of which I've purchased using Priceline or Hotwire. Of all of our stays, we found this hotel to be the absolute best in all respects, and it ended up being the lowest price we paid as well. What's not to like about that!

Used the HOTWIRE link above. I got this from Hotwire based on the #2 rating for Trip Advisor. This is no way a 2* property. In fact, I wouldn't allow my pet skunk to live in this room (if I had one!). It was filthy dirty. When I got there they did not have any knowledge of my confirmation from Hotwire. At first I thought it may be a computer glitch or a simple mistake. But while I waited for the foreign chap (who could not speak much if any English) to figure it out, another person came who got the hotel through Hotels.com and had exactly the same problem. I opted to go get dinner and I called Hotwire to let them sort it out. They did so that when I got back I could get the room. If I thought I could have found another room for the night I would have. But it was late, and we were all tired. So we just suffered with it. We were out of there by 6:30 the next morning. This is by far my worst experience using Priceline / Hotwire. I will not trust Trip Advisor again. Instead, I should have read all the posts and even one super negative will turn me away from a property. Amenities: High Speed Internet Access Total Price: $46.97

Got this on the first bid based on the information received in this forum. Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $48.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $48.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $13.72 (USD) Total Room Cost: $61.72 (USD) Booked using the betterbidding.com PRICELINE link above.

I put a lot of work into finding something in either Laramie or Cheyenne. It is very difficult to find a real deal in Wyoming from all that I can gather from my research. For this deal I bid $55 for a 3* and it failed, but Priceline offered to let me have a free bid at $67. I accepted this offer and after about a 15 minute wait was told that my bid was accepted at this price. Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $67.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $67.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $14.87 (USD) Total Room Cost: $81.87 (USD) Going directly to their site the lowest rate would be $125.40 with taxes included which is still a significant savings. TripAdvisor ranks this hotel at #9 of 25 in Cheyenne. Booked using the betterbidding.com PRICELINE link above.

Based on a previous member's success I just bid $35 and got it immediately on the first bid. I should have started with $30 and moved up with the bids by adding stars. Oh well. Next time. Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $35.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Guests Per Room: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $35.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $11.70 (USD) Total Room Cost: $46.70 (USD) Going directly to their site the lowest rate would be $90.40 with taxes included which is still a significant savings.

Took the first one with a low price due to the fact that we needed something immediately for a stay tonight. Rate per night: $30.00 Nights: 1 Rooms: 1 Tax recovery charges & fees: $10.32 Subtotal: $40.32 Booked using the betterbidding.com HOTWIRE link above. This price is not all that much cheaper than what this hotel offers on their own website. $36 without tax, and probably almost exactly the same as what we paid with the taxes.

Got it with the second bid -- the first bid for $55 was rejected. The price chosen was wholly based on other poster's successes. This was bid on the very day we will be staying at the hotel. First bid for $55 was with just San Francisco (SFO Airport - Burlingame) selected and four star. Added San Francisco (SFO North - San Bruno) which only has three star. Selected 3.5 star and raised the price to $60.

Tried from $50 to $90 first day all 4* -- all failed. Tried the next day with similar -- all failed. Ended up trying for a total of five days with all failing. Finally got it at $119 with their standard -- non-bid hotel offer. Used rebidding by adding non 4* zones and finally had to drop to 3.5*.

Tried from $49 to $57 first day -- all failed. Tried the next day from $49 to $69 -- all failed. Today started bidding at $49 again and when it hit $63 won the bid. Used rebidding by adding non 4* zones. Was hoping to get the $52 price obtained by two previous posters for Portland, but it just wasn't meant to be. Still, this is an excellent price for this hotel. I do believe it may be tied to the fact that I was looking for three rooms for two nights. That is a lot different than one room for one night.
