Used your link

Bid $82 -- fail
Bid $86 -- fail

3.5* bids

$80 per night: 8/30/12 - 9/3 Rochester, NY downtown: 4* Hyatt Regency

Started at $70, went up by $5 by adding other areas. (Only downtown has 4*.)

Won at $80.

A prior bidder on this board won at $70, same hotel. But I'm also staying Thursday nite--seems to be a more valued night in the Rochester area vs weekend.

Anyhow, thanks board!

Yes, I used the link to open the PRICELINE site.

Hi,

For May 3-5, 2009:

After 3 bids, no go at $150 for 3.5* DC Conv cntr, downtown

(There's a 7,000 person convention in town that Sun-Tue that I'm attending.)

So went for Hotwire, $169 / night in same area, 3.5*. Got

Club Quarters, Washington

Hotel Address:

839 17th Street N.W.,

Washington, DC, 20006

Hotel Phone:(202) 463-6400

Reviews on trip advisor comment on the very small rooms. C'est la vie...

(Yes, used the HOTWIRE links)

Re: Doubletree at 1515 Rhode Island Avenue NW?

Yes, that's correct. And I've learned now that the conf will have 7,000 at its peak time (Tues pm)

Thanks for your helpful board.

Regards,

Larry

Need Sun Jun 1 - Wed Jun 4, 3 nights in DC

There's a 5,000+ person convention then I'm attending.

Tried the following (based on other msg on this board). Yes, used the PRICELINE link

$140 4* Convention Center: nope

$180 4* Convention Center or White house / downtown: nope

$205 3* or 4* Convention Center or White house / downtown: success at the Doubletree Washington

Since I'm splitting the cost with a buddy who is going to the same conf, I don't feel too bad.

Quikbook is showing $259 for 2 double beds.

More than I've ever paid via priceline...market pricing I suppose.

C'est la vie.

Hi,

Next week is CES in Las Vegas, that's why prices are so high. 72 hrs ago I tried starting at $40 and went up to $80. No dice.

Sun 1/6 - Tues Morning, 1/8

I succeeded now:

bid $90 4* Strip South. Failed. PL countered with $174

bid $120 Added airport. Failed. No counter

bid $145 Added Strip North. Failed. No counter

bid $160 Added 3*. Success at Riviera Hotel And Casino 3-star (Hopefully not too grungy.)

I think Sunday night is the tough night.

(Yes, I used the SavingsBarn PRICELINE link.)
