I did use the site's PRICELINE link for the reservation. Hopefully it showed up that way.

$77.....4/11/11 - 4/14/11 I started bidding at $70, was rejected and eventually was accepted at $77

Business Center Hi-Speed Internet Fitness Center Looks like a new property in Columbia (Central). I'm sure it's fine, but it's sure hard to believe a HI Express is grouped in the same class as the very nice Sheraton & Marriott.

Tried bids of $40, $42, $45, & $47(winning bid)

bid 4* (Mt. Pleasant-Isle of Palms) $60....rejected added (Charleston Southern) $65...rejected added (West Charleston) $71...accepted Hotwire had this one at $83, so looks like Priceline was better this time.

Bids of $40, $42, $45, $48 were rejected Bid of $49 was accepted This time I used the PRICELINE link from the forum. Hopefully I did it right this time.

This hotel turned out to be a great deal. The hotel is less than a year old and is immaculate. The rooms are a little on the smaller side, but it was perfect for me. The beds are very comfortable and there is a large lcd TV on the wall at the foot of the bed, as well as a small lcd TV in the bathroom. Like all downtown hotels, you have to pay to park your car. Valet parking is $18 per day, or you can park in a public garage (about 1 block away) for $10 per day. I ended up extending my stay for 1 day at the same price.

My first bid was $49 and it was accepted. Looks like this is a new hotel in downtown Columbia.

My first bid was $49 for 2/16/09 - 2/18/09...It was Accepted Then I extended the stay for 2 days at the same price & it was accepted. The Hyatt Place website rate was $109/night for this time period, so I thought I was bidding low. Oh well, maybe I could have gotten it cheaper. HOTWIRE had this same hotel at $63 for this same time frame, so PRICELINE was the better deal.

Unsuccessful bid @ $75 Unsuccessful bid @ $80 NOTE --> After $80 bid, Priceline gave me the option of raising my bid by $22 and bidding again immediately. I chose not to -- Thank goodness! Successful bid @ $82 (WESTIN GRAND)

3* hotel in Crystal City - Reagan National Airport 6/26/08 - 6/29/08 $69 Amenities: Shuttle, Pool, Restaurant, Business Center Tripadvisor Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars 20+ Customer Reviews Last Reviewed in Feb. '08 I am thinking this should be the Sheraton Crystal City, but the Tripadvisor Rating is throwing me off a little. On Tripadvisor, Sheraton Crystal City has been reviewed 35 times and was last reviewed April 4, '08. I just want to make sure this is not the Holiday Inn Crystal City, which is at the same rating level and has been reviewed 23 times (although it was not reviewed in Feb '08). Any help?
