Bid accepted on the first try of $89. I always hate when my bid is accepted on the first try, as it seems that I could have bid lower. But that's the way Priceline works. I still got a rate, that was 50% lower then the hotel online rate. Total cost was $109 with taxes. TIP: The hotel is located in the Kearny Mesa section of San Diego, which is only 8 miles from downtown San Diego and most attractions. It's a nice alternative to Hotel Circle / Mission Valley West.
Here's how my bidding to get a room in Downtown Houston went: 1. Zone: Downtown - $68 / Rejected 2. Zones: Downtown and Willowbrook - $72 / Won I used the PRICELINE link here on BetterBidding to start my bids. Thanks again BetterBidding!
After many attempts bidding on hotels in San Francisco I decided to give Oakland a try. I did some reach and started bidding with the hope of getting a hotel in Downtown Oakland. You may ask why Downtown Oakland? BART.

With the use of the BetterBidding.com link, I began my bid for two rooms at $66 per night. I won on the first bid at $66 per night. Total cost of $319. Should have bid slightly lower to begin, but oh well it's still a great rate. The Omni's cheapest website rate is $89 per night.
Started my bidding by using the Better Bidding PRICELINE link. First bid at $61 and increasing in $2 increments while adding additional zones without a 4* hotel (Atlanta has lots of zones without 4*). Final bid accepted at $71 with total cost of $256.14. Sheraton Atlanta Hotel downtown wasn’t my first choose, but you can’t beat the price. And as we all know you can’t choose your hotel on Priceline’s Name Your Own Price feature. Once again BetterBidding.com never disappoints with bidding insight and advice.
I'm happy with the win, the Vdara looks very nice. I started my bidding at $94/Strip South and increased each in $5 increments while added Strip North and zones without 5* hotels. I ended up with Vdara at $125 per night. Total cost w/taxes and fees = $291.76. Started my bidding with the BetterBidding.com PRICELINE link.
Hotel Derek :) , OH well. Started my bidding at $50 per night for two rooms. Then two bids later at $60 with the Galleria, Conroe, and Cyfair selected, surprise it's the Hotel Derek. Based on the Priceline Hotel List - Texas I did not expect this hotel. But I understand, that's how the Priceline system works. No matter what, it still a great deal. OH, I used the BetterBidding.com Priceline link to begin my bidding.

But it's still a great deal.
