  1. If you look at other posts, you see that there are wins for 4 stars below your max, mid-week in Oct. So it should be doable to get a 4 star. 5 star I doubt it though. It's always worth a try I think! The only problem with bidding 4 start in South Strip is that it is always possible to get Westin.
  2. :). You won this while I was typing my reply. I'm glad you got something within your budget. And it is a great deal for Wynn.
  3. Try bidding again after few days. The first time I tried I had the same experience as you. Tried again in few days and got Venetian for $125. Not sure what's going on! Based on my win you should have definitely got Venetian for your price. If it has any significance, my winning bid was on Thursday. That aside, I think your problem probably is that you are bidding on a single Saturday which is, by far, the most busy day. Good luck rebidding.
  4. Started $100 and bid up until I won at this price. :)
  5. Can you clarify the dates for this stay?! Is it Oct 5 - Oct 7, 2011?!!!! BTW, it's a great deal you got!
  6. Thanks for your suggestion. I'm there only for one night! So do you think it is worth to go to Santa Rosa down town or just eat at the restaurant there?! I do like to explore the town a bit? Also do you know if we can get a room with two beds as a Priceline.com reservation? And do they charge for extra person in the room? I sent an email asking for confirmation and the reply says 2 people. Thank you gain for any information you can provide.
  7. Tried Petaluma-Rohnert Park for $40 - Rejected Added Santa Rosa and increased the bit to $45 and won this.
  8. Solavang zone is not new. But I belive the 3* there is new!!! I wonder if it is Hadsten House Inn And Spa?!
  9. There is no 3* listed among the hotels in Santa Barbara Solvang. Is this a new addition to Priceline?! Thanks.
  10. I tried as high as $265 with no success (7/3/08-7/7/08)!!! They are not really interested to sell on Priceline. I do not know why they are even listed. The hotel has availability for those dates and offeres rooms direct for $319....
  11. It's the highest I've seen among other bids posted here. But I think it's because of the 4th of July weekend. Interestingly, PRICELINE could not even offer me a rental car after I accepted the price they offered right after my hotel bid was complete. They were all sold out.... That tells a lot about availability for this weekend. Anybody knows if I can rent a car in the hotel or Waikiki area easily?! How are the prices in preson?! Thanks.
  12. I got this with an $80 bid on Priceline. At the time, I thought it was a bit expensive for the area but it turned out to be worth it all. The room was spacious, clean, and well equipped with all the amenities of a 4 star hotel. It seemed to have been newly renovated. The bathroom was modern and had an oversized oval tub. There was a separate sink outside the bath with coffee machine, ice bucket, cups and glasses and other typical amenities. The hotel has a restaurant, a sports bar, and room service up until 11pm. Most important of all, the service here was wonderful. Very personal! The staff was always available and went out of their way to answer our questions or help us find anything we needed in town: getting printed directions, calling a cab, providing recommendation for local restaurants, etc. Just for comparison, I stayed in Hilton San Francisco Financial District on the same trip. While that 4 star hotel, on the surface, is much fancier and modern than Stockton Grand, the service did not compare to Stockton. And that is what has left the most important impression on us. I guess the service counts...
  13. I got the hotel with an $85 bid on Priceline. If you do get this one through Priceline do not expect much in terms of upgrades or customer service. The hotel looks great on the surface. It's clean, modern, and renovated. But once you settle in you'll fine many little annoyances. To mention few: the bathroom outlet had no power, the toilet flush did not work properly, the coffee maker was broken etc. None are a big deal but for a 4 star, recently renovated hotel, you would expect more. The most important problem with the building itself is that there is no sound proofing. The window glass is so thin, it was as if we had left the window open. We heard every little street sound. And it is a very noisy area. So if you are sensitive to city noise during sleep, don't even consider it there. There was some noise from adjacent rooms, but the street noise overshadowed that anyway. The beds were nice. The shower was great. The room was small. But the main problem we had was the service. We checked in late but were told that the housekeeping was running behind and our room was not ready. In addition, we had requested a king bed and they said there are only rooms with double beds available if any. When asked for upgrades to something which is ready, they said nothing available. After we finally got a room, my wife was disappointed with the view, so she called and asked if we could at least get a bay view out of courtesy since they did not have king bed we had requested. They said since we made our reservation through Priceline, we are the "lowest" priority and will not be able to get anything better than what our current room was. That I found too blunt for customer service in a 4 start hotel. Just a final note, they had added a $20 dollar room service on the checkout bill, when I inquire about this (couple times on the phones which they said will look into and call back but never did and finally in person), they said they could not find any receipts for it and waived it. A very curious incident!...
  14. How come he was not offered Hilton Financial District or Omni for 85 or 90 that other people have reported for same or cheaper?!
  15. Yes. $75 was rejected. Interesting enough, Hotwire has an opaque 3* for $79 in Stockton which I believe is the same hotel. So they both offere this hotel for the same price. I love your site by the way. It provides a valuable service.
  16. Started at $25. Expected to win at a lower price. Kind of expensive for a 3* in the area but not too many 3* around.
