I snagged this hotel on my 2nd bid.

First bid was $40.00 for 3.5* downtown, rejected. The screened popped up to big $50 for a retry. I could not bid lower than $50 so I canceled that screen and rebid by adding Madison East to the mix and raising the bid to $43 which was accepted. Free parking was included in this hotel. I'm happy. This hotel was listed on priceline for $109 a night if I didn't use the NYOP feature.

I used a $6/night bonuscash through Priceline, so winning bid was $46 (my share is $40).

First bid was for MSY for a 4*, I bid $40 ($46 w/ bonus cash) and it was rejected.

I added the area of French Quarter and added 3* with the same bid. Offer was accepted.

I stayed at this hotel last year and it was undergoing full renovation. It is a nice hotel, clean and new, convenient location, free parking - very comfortable beds, smoke-free. Nice outdoor pool area with a Jacuzzi. About 6 minutes from the airport and about 10 minutes from the French Quarter.

The dates I bought are during Mardi Gras so I am very pleased with the quality of this hotel at the price I snagged it for.

Last week while at the Westin Diplotmat in Ft. Lauderdale I met a man who worked for this property's owners. He said he and his wife just stayed at the Cancun property in May and he paid $400 a night for the same property... so I almost feel like I'm stealing with the rate I received!

Thanks. I'm happy!

This also happens to be the weekend and evening of the d out Lady Gaga concert at the United Center, so I am doubly pleased with the pricing.

I initially selected 4*, was rejected at $56. Rebid by adding 3.5* and raising to $60. Won the Silversmith Boutique Hotel. Retails for $102 and up for the same nights.

correction and update: My headline stated 12/10-12/12 and I actually won the bid for 1 night which was on 12/9/09.

This hotel was FANTASTIC! Brand newly remodeled and re-opened September, 2009 - Beautiful design, terrific room size, ultra clean, comfy beds, soothing colors, and retro with modern details.

Great pool and jacuzzi, the restaurant called Altitude was spectacularly good quality and an ultra low price due to a 50% off coupon at checkin from the front desk.

This place is a screaming good deal at $35 a night.

Free airport shuttle service 24/7. I can't say enough about the quality of this place.

100% non-smoking, too~
