I bidded for three days until my bid was finally accepted on the fourth day, the day prior to the arrival. The last 6 times I've always got the Hilton but not this time. I went Hilton's website four days prior to the arrival and it was already sold out. My bids were from $50-55 for 31/2 stars at location 4 & 5 for the last thee days but nothing. Finally, the day prior to the arrival, I still attempted $50 at 3 1/2 stars at location 4 and still nothing. I moved it up an entire three dollars still at location 4 and dropped the rating down to 3. I finally got Hyatt Place which was going for $129 on travelocity, so I'm very, very happy!

Won the usual Hilton at MCI airport for $50 on 2/27/12. In the past it took $52. While this Hilton location is stretching the 3 1/2 star, it is better than the other hotels in the area and fits the price. I tried yesterday for $42 but wasn't accepted. I highly recommend using other webesites than priceline.com for a 3 star or less hotels at MCI airport. This has been the sixth time I stayed at the Hilton or Clarion and always able to book a nice hotel at the 3 1/2 star rating there. I attempted a 3 star before and will NEVER do it again. I was equal to staying at a roach hotel.

The price is average, I lived in Tokyo for 5 years and if you go to Prince Hotel website, you can book Shinagawa and Shinjuku Prince for about 10,000 yen a night. My goal would be to find one for 80,000 yen or less. Plus, you can reserve a hotel on the Prince website without payment.

Planning a trip to take my wife who was begging to visit South Beach on 31 Aug 08. A couple weeks out, decided to make some crazy bids, worse they can say is "no". Tried 4 start South Beach for $60 and was rejected. So lowered my bid to $57 and 3 star/4 star bid in South beach. Returned a winning bid for Catalina Hotel & Beach Club! Went to Hotels.com and read the reviews, and 10 to 1 loved the hotel and was worth the $150-200 price! Suckers! :)
