Thanks for the feedback. It's funny because I recently got a Hotwire email advertising special rates at that Hilton. Would you mind telling me exactly how you went about correlating the amenities I listed to some "unique" info provided at TripAdvisor? I know it's still a guess, but it it's not very difficult, I'd love to be able to do that for myself in the future. Thx again!

I've checked recent posts and the pinned listings and can't find a match with only these amenities. Any thoughts? Go BLUE!
Won Loew's Ventana Canyon Resort for $112/night. I bid on 4/8 for 4/13-4/14 (two nights). Parking is $9/day. The resort was FANTASTIC and I defy one to get better service anywhere. Equal, perhaps, but not better.
Now here's a tasty rebidding nugget: I'd tried bidding several times in different places without a PL profile and had to play the rebidding game by adding a new vicinity or star-level. However, when I placed a bid at $90 with my logged in profile, it came back and said: "If you raise your bid by $22 you can rebid right now without making any different selections." Sure enough, $112 won it. It was almost as though the system was "telling" you how much to bid in order to be accepted.
And then I thought about it and realized that if your bid doesn't succeed, PL doesn't get paid. So as long as they're not running afoul of their agreements with hotels, this is very cool!
Go Blue!
A few hours ago I put in six bids starting at $80/night all the way up to $131/night with no success. Granted there are only two resorts listed, but do you think my odds will go up as the dates grow nearer? We live in PHX and just want to get away for Fri & Sat night. We could just as easily go down to Tucson. Thoughts?
Oh, and GO BLUE!

First bid $55 for 4* Phoenix(Scottsdale) and didn't get anything. Raised to $65 and I think it added "Resort" while I added a zone with neither. That bid won. Kinda didn't want a Resort because I'm sure we'll get stuck with a fee, but wasn't paying close attention, so I guess that's the price we'll pay...
