Tried many days to bid and rebid and at different star levels of hotels.
Finally selected 1 star hotel and bid for $75. Was asked to up the offer by $15. Did as requested and managed to get the deal at Traverse City for the above dates. Had many failed bids for upto $115 for a 2* hotel in the same area.
I believe there are two areas that come up in Priceline. One closer to lake and the other more south. I am unable to locate the hotel because it is no longer offered in the list of hotels for these dates. Seected the area close to the lake just for information. Hope this helps someone.
The dates of travel are from 9/17 to 9/19. Please add it to the topic. Thank you for maintaining this service. The site is really beneficial.
Please let me know a way to edit the heading of the post. I am not sure how to split the information about the price and dates in the sub heading of the post. Any help is appreciated. The edit does not appear to work for headings

Began booking at $75 at the Laguadia Airport Area, was asked to redib and increase the price by $15. Started a new bid at $82 and was accepted at the Laguadia Airport Hotel.
Not really excited about the winning though. Reviews for this hotel are not good, there was a case of bug bites in one of the tripadvisor reviews, no continental breakfast, and no subway nearby close to the hotel.
If given a chance, I would reconsider this area and rebid in Secaucus,NJ instead. Still reconsidering to book another hotel and bear the loss.. Any thoughts. Has anyone stayed at this hotel before and can share their positive experiences.
