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.
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.
Started Bidding in Downtown South at 3.5 star at $50
added Downtown North at $53
added Brampton at $56
Added Don Valley at $58
added Toronto East and won at $60 Delta Chelsea
I used the PRICELINE link from the forum.
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.
I did us ethe PRICELINE links on this site as always.

Second effort at bidding. First effort unsuccesful ending at $69 for 4*Madrid (Around La Castellana),(Old Madrid - Bourbon Madrid)

added at $80 4*Madrid (Around La Castellana) Melia Galgos
Won 4*Madrid (Around La Castellana) Melia Galgos, mixed reviews on tripadvisor, but everyone says it is clean which is critical for me.

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.
