It was my first time with bidding in priceline and it was an awesome experience with the help of users here! I used the strategy given by thereuare, but with some modification. See below for details. Select 4* Downtown... Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $57, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $58, if rejected add re-bid zone... Bid $60. I had to skip $59 dollars since there was only 4 zones I could add. It worked and the small(er) chance of getting the Renaissance was on my side. I wish I knew about this sooner. By the way, does this same methodology work with airflights? Thanks alot!

This is my first time bidding. How should I go about bidding? This is probably a beginner's question but I thought I'd ask just incase it might be different. According to your post, I should start at SavingsBarn.com and click on the PRICELINE link. From there do I click on "Name Your Own Price" link and pre-select the criteria below: Area- Pittsburgh Downtown Star Level- 4* Price - $57 as shown in your previous post Then enter all the necessary information and click "Buy My Hotel Room Now". I guess from here I will find out whether or not priceline accepts my "bid" and if not I can rebid. Through Priceline what hotels might I get for a 4* in PIT downtown area. By the way, can you send me bidding strategies. Thanks for your help.

The 4* hotel that I research was consider a customer favorite. It might be the Omni. Does anyone else have other opinions? Thanks blindman.

When I researched a package deal (air+hotel+car), only one 4* hotel showed up. The hotel was the The Westin Convention Center Pittsburgh w/ Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, High-speed Internet Access features. When I researched only hotels it gave me a 4* hotel with features of Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center and High-speed Internet. The Westin does not fit the criteria since it contains a pool. What is your take on this? Thanks.

What could be the mysterious 4* hotel in downtown, PIT if I book at hotwire.com? It says it's original $107, but will be discounted 25%; therefore, it is priced for $80. I am stayin May 26 through 28. While I was doing research I could not find a 4* hotel that was for 107 standard price in downtown area. Can someone give me some feedback in what hotel I could possible get? I saw that the Omni was $107 at Hotels.com, but it was already discounted by 10% from $119. Advance thanks.
