  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. looked to book 9/6/11 - 12/6/11

    downtown minneapolis 4* @ $50 rejected

    added 3.5*@$52 rejected

    added 3.0*@$54 rejected

    added Midtown Minneapolis @$55 rejected

    started another bid with dates now 8/6/11- 11/6/11

    Downtown minneapolis 4* @$50 rejected

    added 3.5*@$53 accepted at the Millennium Hotel Minneapolis

    Hotel looks ok, great location, some mixed reviews on tripadvisor, but this is to expected. good price for this property.

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

    I followed the same pattern last night and won.

    Started at $70 5* Madrid (Around La Castellana)

    added at $75 5* Madrid (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.

  5. I have been bidding all the Paris zones except La Defense, Bastille-Bercy and the airports. Started at $80 and worked up only bidding 4 & 5 *. I had gone as High as $120. Friday night the 1st of April Started bidding 3* and up

    Bid Paris (St. Germain - Latin Quarter - Montparnasse) $120

    Rebid Paris (Opera Quarter East - Les Halles) $125

    Rebid Paris (Eiffel Tower - Grenelle - Montparnasse) $130

    accepted at 3* Novotel Vaugirard,

    has good ratings on tripadvisor and I am happy just to win a Paris hotel after a couple weeks of looking for under $150. I used the link to PRICELINE on better bidding

  6. 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.
