Pretty happy with this one. Hotel rate per night - Hotwire hot Rate: $108.00 Nights: 1 Rooms: 2 Subtotal: $216.00 Tax recovery charges and fees: $38.20 Total price: $254.20 Amenities listed were: Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities High-speed Internet Access Spa Services

Hotel's Website is $265, I'm actually pretty stoked at getting a decent hotel in Manhattan for under $200/night. Hotwire listed it as a "Customer Favorite" Restaurant(s) Fitness Center Tennis Nearby Business Center Thanks again to betterbidding for taking the mystery out of the process! :)

Moderator, can you change the title of this thread? The hotel is a 3*, not a 4*. My error.

Not sure what's going on (other than Spring Break) but things in Miami are pricey this weekend! Cheapest website rate on that night for the CP airport is $229. Your Offer Price: $80.00 Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $160.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $30.48 Total Charges: $190.48

Initial bid was $95, Priceline asked for a raise by $22 to rebid. I ignored it, added the Airport and raised to $100 which was accepted. This is a dead time in Vegas, the Venetian website wants $169/night. I've got a comped room, this was for friends, so I'm happy we are at the same hotel. Number of Rooms: 1 Number of Nights: 3 Subtotal: $300.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $40.98 Total Charges: $340.98

Tried to land the Hyatt or Westin with a low ball 4 star bid at $40 and $45 without success. Added 3* and dropped down to $40, incremented by $2 until the Hilton hit. Total cost (with tax/fees): $57 I've stayed at this hotel before when it was an Adams Mark. The hotel itself is only a couple of years old, the building in a prior life was an office building. The rooms have high ceilings and are pretty darn big. I think its a misclassification on PL's part, The Hilton is every bit as nice as the 4*'s (Westin/Hyatt) in Indy, and is much better than the OMNI. Retail for that night is $109-134 plus tax. :)

Started at $40 and incremented by $5. Hit on the 4th bid. With taxes and fees it was $69 Retail is running $204-234 before taxes :)

Did 65, 70, 75 and it accepted at 75. I bid this last week (on 1/21). No idea it was sold out!

Started at $65 and used a couple of rebids. This worked out perfectly as we're headed out on a cruise the next day.

Bid $75, $80 and landed the Palms on third rebid for $85. Looks like a fairly tough weekend for Orlando, Retail at the GP is $229. I'm happy... :)

This one surprised me. I had been unsuccessfully bidding both Waikiki North and South zones (4*) for this stay for about the last 2 months. On a whim tonight tried $100 and landed it. It drives me crazy when a first bid is accepted, but it looks like I'm in line with the others that have landed this hotel... Your Offer Price: $100.00 Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 1 Subtotal: $200.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $32.74 Total Charges: $232.74

I think you have given up a lot. There's nothing wrong with the Hyatt, but you're taking a hit in location (the Doubletree is right behind the Drake and the Westin Michigan Ave, while the Hyatt is at the south end of the Mag Mile) and room quality (Standard Hyatt room vs. a 2 room suite at the Doubletree). If you're collecting Hyatt points, they will give you a stay credit, so that's a bonus. I'd call back and ask for a rebate, at least $15/night.

Bid this on Wednesday night for a last min weekend stay. Way more than I wanted to pay, but given that it's Pride weekend and the Taste is starting up, I gave up. Retail was $199. Started at $60 and incremented by $2. Used a bunch of free rebids and alternate emails :) .

Bid using priceline and ebay anything points. Started at $42 and used a couple of rebids. Retail for this weekend is $119 Pretty happy with this one! :) Sean
