  1. Trying for a couple of days now. Yesterday bid $78 and was offered the opportunity to book now for $ 98. Today bid $ 90 and got it first bid. Used the PRICELINE link Nh Geneva Airport 4 Star Geneva - Airport Av De Mategnin 21 Geneva - Meyrin, Switzerland 41 229899000
  2. I'm not sure how to edit the post. I took at chance and booked. It was the Holiday Inn Westside Bern. Very convenient.
  3. Searching 11/19 - 11/21 2010 and am shown a 3.5* hotel with the following amenities: Smoke free rooms Fitness Centre Pool Restaurant Business Centre High Speed Internet Spa An added clue is a 4 out of 5 Trip Advisor rating but it gives no indication of how many users or when the last entry was so it could be wrong. I can't find a single hotel site listing a 3.5 star hotel let alone a hotel with all of these amenities. Any help would be appreciated. It is the best price out there for a hotel with these amenities but the half star concerns me. Thanks.
  4. A bit mad a myself for this one. I had intended to bid 4* but while checking rebid zones in Delray (which only has a 3*) I neglected to change back to 4 when bidding. Won at $ 50 /night on the first bid which is likely higher than needed. Still I have stayed here before and it is a fine hotel. Hilton Deerfield Beach/Boca Raton 100 Fairway Drive Deerfield Beach, FL 33441 954-427-7700
  5. Bid $ 65 last night was countered at $85. Waited a day bid $ 72 and won. Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Freeport Freeport 450 U.S. Route 1 Freeport, Maine 04032 207-865-9020 Used the PRICELINE link
  6. Same day win. Have won this 8 plus times now. Had tried for Portland Maine but after $70 gave up and took the sure thing. Used the PRICELINE link
  7. Bid $ 35 Andover. Added the second zone and upped the bid to $ 40. Won the 3* Holiday Inn. With a rewards membership this location gives an excellent free breakfast buffet. Pleased with the win.

  8. Started at $ 35 and raised until 45 using 3 zones then matched previous reported win of $ 46 which was accepted.

  9. Don't know this one but worked my way down from 4* @ $ 50, 3.5 @ 40, 3 @ 35 until this. Never spend much time in the room in Orlando anyway. International Palms Resort Orlando Universal Orlando Resort Area - Intl. Drive North 6515 International Drive Orlando, Florida 32819 407-351-3500 Used the PRICELINE link.
  10. Won first bid at $ 50 3.5* Perhaps I should have gone lower but not a bad win. Wyndham Miami Airport Miami International Airport (MIA) 3900 Nw 21st Street Miami, Florida 33142 305-871-3800Used the PRICELINE link
  11. I stay in the Lowell area frequently and can usually get a better deal but I guess Summer in New England. Tried 3.5*, 3*, 2.5* then settled on 2*. Changed prices at various levels. Half price from web site price. 2 Star Moderate Hotel Check-In Date: Monday, August 2, 2010 Check-Out Date: Tuesday, August 3, 2010 Region: Salem, NH - Andover, MA City Areas: Andover, Ma Billerica - Tewksbury Area Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $38.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $38.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $11.64 (USD) Total Room Cost: $49.64 (USD) As always, used the PRICELINE link.
  12. Bid for the past few days and just couldn't get the deal I was hoping for. Finally decided it was time to book something. Not my first choice but a decent property for the price on a Monday. The Westin Harbour Castle 4 Star Downtown Toronto South One Harbour Square Toronto, Ontario M5J 1A6 416-869-1600 Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: US$76.00 Subtotal: US$76.00 Taxes & Fees: US$17.95 Total Charges: US$93.95 Used the PRICELINE link
  13. First attempt at $ 60 resulted in an add $ 17. I waited and bid again being accepted at $68. Room was great but fair warning there is a $ 12 parking charge directly too the hotel. Big savings off the online price. Used the PRICELINE link
  14. Thanks to previous posters. With no rebid zones and bidding for tomorrow I bid $ 40 and got it on my first bid. Doubletree Hotel Rocky Mount Rocky Mount 651 North Winstead Avenue Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804 Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $40.00 Subtotal: $40.00 Taxes & Fees: $12.56 Total Charges*: $52.56 Used the PRICELINE link.
  15. Tried 3* at $ 35 was given the option of increasing my bid by $ 9 for an accetance. Added rebid area and increased to $ 37. Closed and reopened to bid at 2.5*, first bid of $ 30 was accepted. Billerica - Tewksbury Area 4 Highwood Drive Tewksbury, Massachusetts 01876 978-640-9000 Used the PRICELINE link.
  16. Usually I use priceline but needed to be close to the airport and with priceline in this area you can end up downtown. I was a bit surprised by this win. Priceline and a couple of other sites rate this hotel as a 2 star property. Hotels.com and Expedia rate it as 2.5 star. Amenities listed were complimentary breakfast and wireless internet only so it was difficult to guess. Just for one night so I'm sure it will be fine.

  17. See the reply to my previous win. If you need internet and sign up in the lobby you can continue to use it in your room. If you sign up from your room you have to pay.
  18. Started with 4* Boca at $ 60 and was given the "if you'll raise by $ 17 we have a room for you". Usually I can bid up to get it but adding the two rebid zones and going to $ 69 did not work. Added 3.5* and though opening a new session was able to bid $ 55, 57 with no luck finally getting a win at $ 59. Perhaps I should have waited until closer to the date to duplicate the multiple $ 55 wins but there is value in knowing the booking is done.

  19. This was quite a win. Great hotel not to mention I sweet talked my way into a double suite upgrade in the tower where it should have been close to $ 300 / night for the two rooms. Parking was $ 8 / day but it really is a resort with multiple pools, laundry, restaurants, even mini golf. I had originally only won one night but enjoyed it so much we kept taking advantage of the extend your stay option. This created some hassles and forced me to move rooms once (still kept my suites). Doubletree Resort Orlando10100 International Drive Orlando, FL 32821 Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $47.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $94.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $20.36 (USD) Total Room Cost: $114.36 (USD) Note that this is per night, not for the full stay. Used the PRICELINE link
  20. My first ever Priceline disaster. I arrived at the hotel to find that they were sold out and that Priceline had booked the rooms as smoking (we are non smokers and have an asmatic child that can't stand the smell). Even though the room was clean it was still obviously a smoking room so we elected to leave and go elsewhere. Priceline referred me to the terms and conditions and would do nothing for me. I know this is not a forum for complaints or reviews but it is worth reminding people that while hotels almost always help their guests, Priceline bookings are at the bottom of the barrell. This was a complete waste of $ 100 Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Universal / Intl. Drive8214 Universal Blvd Orlando, FL 32819 Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $40.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $80.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $18.32 (USD) Total Room Cost: $98.32 (USD) Used the PRICELINE link
  21. This was another same day bid with lots of different attempts before I won this. I think it may actually be a 3.5 star property. A bit disappointing as there was no free internet and parking was $ 13 / day so it cost another $ 25 above the bid but still a win as it was $ 159 direct from Marriott. Marriott Miami Airport1201 Nw Le Jeune Road Miami, FL 33126 Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $56.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $112.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $23.42 (USD) Total Room Cost: $135.42 (USD) Used the PRICELINE link
  22. Tried all kinds of different bids but since I was bidding same day I went down to a 2* and won this property. Not a great deal as it was $ 99 online but a savings none the less. Hotel was basic and were it not for the location across from a bar where they had a band playing until after midnight it would have been great. Two level rooms with a full kitchen. Key West Inn - Key Largo201 Ocean Drive Key Largo, FL 33037 Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $75.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $150.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $28.36 (USD) Total Room Cost: $178.36 (USD) Used the PRICELINE link
  23. I was trying to duplicate my previous win for the 20th but ended up winning this better hotel on the first bid. Online and desk (someone was checking in without an advance reservation when I arrived) rate was $ 209 per room so this was a great deal and a very nice property. Hampton Inn Key Largo102400 Overseas Highway Key Largo, FL 33037 Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $75.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Room Subtotal: $150.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $28.36 (USD) Total Room Cost: $178.36 (USD) Used the PRICELINE link
  24. First bad experience I have had with PRICELINE from a cost view (see my recent Florida trip for my first problem). For some reason I just couldn't get a good deal Online price at this same hotel was $ 45 so I thought I'd at least save a few dollars BUT the final after taxes and fees price bidding through Priceline was higher than if I had booked direct plus I would have gotten frequent stay points. Oh well you can't win all the time but it is a lesson to not bid so close to the available on line pricing.

  25. Same day bid just looking for a place to stay.
