  1. Tried yesterday same zone at 3.5 stars and was rejected at $55, but told if i bumped to $74 it would be accepted. Waited until the next day, started at 4* and bid $65 and was accepted first crack. A nice hotel, stayed here two years ago and was very happy with the property.
  2. Started bidding on 3* after having a run at four stars turned down. I started bidding at $90 went to $115 on the four star hotels on Sunday, basically using every zone in London proper, going up by $1 or $2. Regents Park - Baker Street - Camden Market –$80-rejected Westminster - Houses of Parliament - Victoria –$84 -rejected The City - Tower Bridge - St. Pauls Cathedral -$86- rejected Kensington - Earl's Court -$90-rejected Mayfair - Soho –$92-rejected Knightsbridge - Harrods-$94 accepted 1-3 Lexham Gardens Disappointed as this hotel is not on any list and is basically slaughtered on trip advisor. Came up as booked through booking partner Agoda.

  4. Won this hotel for $65 after referencing another post. i had tried twice this week to find a hotel in downtown which is uaslly no problem. I was turned down at 55-65 range both times. Saw that downtown hotels didn't come up on hotwire on these dates. Tried this morning at $58 in University-Metrodome and was turned down, but offered a counter at $74. turned this down, added Downtown minneapolis and bid 465 and was accepted at the Ramada Plaza Minneapolis. It has very good reviews on Tripadvisor. I used the PRICELINE link.

  8. Have been looking for a number of weeks in Barcelona. It is Easter weekend and was having some difficulty. I had tried priceline earlier and was rejected at $80-90 range. I looked on Hotwie and found nothing that looked good. Contacted a number of B & B's, no luck there. Today bid $100 For 4*/5* in Barcelona (La Rambla - La Barceloneta) and was rejected. Rebid $105 adding Barcelona (East), which the list had 2 hotels listed (5* ME Barcelona ,4* Rafaelhoteles Diagonal Port). Bid was accepted at 4* Hilton Diagonal Mar Barcelona, which was not included. I had looked at this hotel earlier on Expedia. Has solid review on Tripadvisor and a web search of hotel found best rate of 160 euros. i used the PRICELINE link on the forum page.
