I waited 24 hours and rebid again on priceline through the betterbidding PRICELINE link for a 4* in MTE. Tried bids of $175, $200, $220, and with a bid of $230 I got the Omni Berkshire Place. Very happy with the hotel, was hoping I could get it for a little less than that and maybe should have given it more time, but the HOTWIRE price I was comparing my bid to was fluctuating between $234 and $244 per night, so I thought I should jump on it. Enjoyed using PRICELINE, thanks for all the great advice!
