I bid yesterday $40 and it came back offering $52. I didn't take their offer and Bid $45. It still didn't work, so I patiently waited my 24 hrs and tried again at $48. And it took it! Holiday Inn Express Cedar City Room Subtotal:$48.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees:$12.70 (USD) Total Room Cost:$60.70 (USD) About 40 bucks cheaper than their website after taxes. I think this a new addition to the board as well!

Hyatt Places have their breakfast area, which in the afternoon and evening you can order meals like a regular restaurant. I don't think I would want to risk it being the shilo, so I'm going to stay away from this one I think.

Hello Friends, I can't figure this one out. Showing shuttle, smoke free, comp breakfast, fittness, restraunt, business center, laundry. My guess would be the hyatt place downtown. I am not sure though. Any guesses? Thanks!

The HI University Center is the only known hotel in Oakland with a pool. Until HOTWIRE adds a new hotel with a pool, its a safe bet to assume its the Holiday Inn. Worked there for 6 years, hope you will enjoy it!

I would call and ask the front desk... if they say no, I would just talk with the shuttle driver. A nice tip will get you a ride anywhere in downtown. They may not take you all the way to the stadium on game day, because they will get stuck in the traffic. Most will drop you off across the river and you can just walk the 20 minutes to the field. It would probably take you that long to get through the traffic anyway.

Took your advice and booked with Alamo for about $150 total which was what about $5 less than what I was found on HOTWIRE. Can't get anything to bite under the HOTWIRE price through PRICELINE so looks like I will have to wait and see if they lower rates for the holidays. Hope they do!

This hotel is a very easy ride down Baum Blvd and then Bigelow Blvd to downtown. Be careful though, they only have valet parking which can be a hassle sometimes. You can park on the streets over night for free, but you will have to feed the meter during the day.

Unfortunately its almost the same as direct car rental rates. I've been trying on PRICELINE, but nothing has been taking. I could probably get it for the same price as HOTWIRE using PRICELINE.. but wheres the fun in that :-) I will keep you posted. And I always remember to use your links!!

This is for the same trip so I am trying to keep in the same thread... feel free to move it if you need to. I am now looking at HOTWIRE for my dates.. 12/25 and 12/26 have cars for about 15 a day... but 12/27 and 12/28 are double that.... is there a way to make a reservation for all 4 days but get the cheaper price for the first too? I know I could make two reservations... but I don't really want to drive all the way out to the airport to exchange the cars... Any advice/experience?

Hmm... it seems to be letting me do this now. I am not new to PRICELINE... so not sure what happened! I will let you know if I win anything. Thanks for taking the time to look!

Pick up 12/25/10 return 12/29/2010 I understand that I may have to rent until 12/30 though to return at 3pm on 12/29

Flying home for xmas and want to get a rental car. I am flying out on the following wednesday at 3:30pm so I will need the car that day. When I put in my specific times, Princline says I can't use their bidding. If I say I am returning the car the next day by noon though, it lets me book. Will I have any trouble returning the car on that wednesday if I said I was goin to return it thursday morning? Thanks for any help!

You will still receive the breakfast buffet... All Holiday Inn Expresses include the buffet in their rate regardless of how you book. This property is only about a year old... and it is attached to a water park. Stayed here last year for one night and enjoyed my stay. Rooms with 2 beds can be a little tight though FYI.

I understand resort fees benefit to some and I can see how they are a nice deal sometimes, but there is one problem that makes me just hate them. Say you book a room for $100 on priceline/hotwire. You get to the property, and there is a $75 resort fee! I know most of them are not that high, but who's to say that it can't happen?

Looking for some rooms for this weekend in Las Vegas I noticed that now under the listed ammenities it says "No Resort Fee" for some properties. Is this new? This is WONDERFUL! How long has that been up?

As a PRICELINE / HOTWIRE customer, you stand a better chance of NOT being walked. I have worked at a few different properties, and anytime we had to walk a guest, it was never a priceline/hotwire customer. Why? Because the room is prepaid. Do you really think the hotel wants to deal with the headache of trying to refund PRICELINE / HOTWIRE and then have them try to refund you? No. We would much rather just not charge someone who has a reservation but has not paid for the room. You would think the hotel would want to keep the money of the person with the regular reservation, but its just not worth the accounting nightmare!

I was trying for the 3.5* Hyatt which I have stayed at before and have really enjoyed, but I am very happy with this hotel as well. Number one on Tripadvisor for Fairfax, and at half price it can't be beat!! As always I remembered to use the PRICELINE links. Thanks!!! Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $41.00 (USD) Number of Rooms: 2 Number of Nights: 2 Room Subtotal: $164.00 (USD) Taxes and Fees: $26.92 (USD) Total Room Cost: $190.92 (USD)

Just a heads up that the Holiday Inn Parkway East is no more. In December there was a major water main break in the lobby of the hotel which was supposed to be repaired. However, about a month ago I saw the Holiday Inn sign come down and there has been no activity there since.

Just needed a place to rest my head for the night, and was hoping to get a place with breakfast so I was bidding on a 2.5* and wasn't picky on where in Portland the hotel was. To my surprise I was upgraded to a 3* and my $30 offer was accepted on my first bid! Was not expecting it to hit for so low! I work for IHG, and once again priceline has given me a lower rate than my employee rate. Unbelievable!!! I made sure to use the BB PRICELINE link. Thanks!! Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $30.00 Subtotal: $30.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $10.99 Total Charges*: $40.99

I was bidding for anything Plymouth Meeting or Valley Forge, trying to stay close to Conshohocken. I was pleasantly surprised when I won the Residence Inn Conshohocken! I had bid $38 in Plymouth Meeting and got a counter offer for $10 dollars more so I knew I was close. Tried a few different star combinations (dropping down to 2.5*) and just singling out zones and finally scored! Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $42.00 Subtotal: $42.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $11.07 Total Charges*: $53.07 Residence Inn Conshohocken Plymouth Meeting Norristown 191 Washington Street Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428 Thanks for the help! I made sure to use the PRICELINE link.

Olympia 1675 Mottman Road Sw Tumwater, Washington 98512 360-754-6063 Sorry I forgot it!

Just needed someplace to sleep and didn't want to spend a lot. Seems like this will work out nicely. Tried 2.5* in Olympia, Tacoma, and the Tacoma area up to $45 and nothing was accepted, so started a new window (used the BB PRICELINE link of course) and bid on just a 2* in Olympia which was really where I wanted to be. Bid $35 and it was accepted. Probably could have started a few dollars lower, but am fine with saving almost 50% off the rack rate. Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $35.00 Subtotal: $35.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $11.72 Total Charges*: $46.72 Thanks! I think this a new addition to the board too!

Just a heads up for all of you trying to avoid the parking fee at the Hyatt... I parked on the street right near the hotel, free on the weekends. And unfortunately my car was broken into. Neighbors who talked to me while I waited for the police to come to file a report said that they have lived there for years and have never heard of such things happening, but just wanted to let you all know. Luckily they didn't get away with much, but I wish I paid the $20 a night just to park in the garage!!

Thanks for the heads up! I think it is $12 a night.... Still a great deal overall... much better than the 40 a night charges I found downtown...

What a great deal on a great hotel! Couldn't have done it without the board! Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $41.00 Subtotal: $41.00 Taxes & Service Fees: $12.55 Total Charges*: $53.55 Of course I used the betterbidding PRICELINE links. Thanks!!!
