REVEAL HOTELS not working as of today, Nov 2. The REVEAL button displays the drop-down section but no longer displays a Hotel Name. For Non Identified hotels, clicking the more ID button seems to initiate the further research/lookup, even displaying a "Confidence Level" (eg Excellent), but again the Hotel Name is blank. Has the service been discontinued ? thanks

Thanks - replied to NYC April post (decided to nix the April 2016 NYC trip and instead booked Boston, Apr 26-May 01, - 4 * Omni Parker House for $189 Priceline Express deal). This Hotwire offering does appear to be the Treasure Bay Resort and Marina - it seems (based on amenities and 'savings') to also be a Priceline Express deal for $102 for these dates. Probably not pursue this trip at this time (notice a bit too hot - avg 87 degrees in May) - maybe take another look at Jan-Feb next year. Thanks for the tip on the BiddingHelper.com easy view tab.

A very late follow-up: Decided to nix the April 2016 NYC trip and instead booked Boston Apr 26-May 01, - 4 * Omni Parker House for $189 Priceline Express deal.

Help ID Hotwire 3 * Treasure Island FL May 10-13. $108 rated 9 out of 10 (Hotwire Favorite) - 4* TripAdvisor). Allegedly 33% off. Free parking, Free Internet, Free breakfast, Bed type choice, Resort fee $11/night. Ammenities Business center Fitness center Pool(s) Self-service laundry Smoke-free rooms. Thanks

I always book (very) early for annual pre-Christams NYC visit. This time only interested in Chelsea and Soho/Tribecca neighborhoods, @ 3 1/2 stars or more. Started bidding at $100 and increased by $4 / $5 dollars using re-bid zones ( Elmherst/Corona, Jamaica, Bayside, Coney Island, Bronx). Accepted bid @ $130 for well reviewed property (8.6 Priceline User Rating - 4* Trip Advisor). Subway A/C/E right outside hotel. Used Better Bidding to link to PRICELINE.

Guaranteed amenities Pets Allowed Business Center Restaurant Free Internet Fitness Center *Bed Choide Available It should be noted that hotel charges 5.95 / night Resort Fee, payable upon check-in.

Needless to say, I book way ahead (for New Orleans Film Festival). Tired of noise from French Quarter hotels (getting old), decided on Garden District w/ commute by Street Car. Was certain this PRICELINE EXPRESS deal was the Indigo based on stars/amenities, and its the only 3 1/2 star in zone currently offered on Priceline. Initially tried bidding 3 1/2 stars, Garden District Only, from $80 to $110 using rebid zones Avondale, New Orleans East, and West Bank, but no luck- so took the Express deal at $121. 8.9 Priceline user rating and 4* TripAdvisor, so I'm happy. Used Better Bidding link :)

Thanks - I've stayed at the St Giles - Tuscany (next to the Court) when it was with the ' W ' Hotel chain and it was fine. However the Court seems to get rather mixed reviews of late so I tend to avoid 4* ESB area hotels unless I can reasonably exclude it based on ammenites. I think I'll table the search for now and check again in a month or two. thanks again.

Help identify 3* Priceline Express deal with a 9.0 Rating in Empire State Bldg area for $207/night Apr 07-10 2016. Only one amenity shown - Internet. Wouldn't normally consider 3* in area but rating makes me curious.

Coincidentally, I was bidding same dates for NYC 3.5 Stars but included Soho/Tribeca, Chelsea, & Hells Kitchen in addition to your ESB, MSG, Times Square & MTW. Was unsuccessful until $200 level - accepted for Courtyard Manhattan/SOHO - on Varick St - a block away from the 1 Subway (and a couple block from City Winery, which is a great place to catch some good music & food). My win is posted here

Bid only on 3.5 stars - included seven areas: Chelsea, ESB, Hells Kitchen, MSG, MTW, Soho/Tribeca, & Times Square. Started bidding at $150 and increased by $10 each time using Re-Bid zone (Coney Island) until my first bid at $200 (which was to be my limit) was accepted. Seems like a good deal based on rack rate. Used the [url=http://www.betterbidding.com/clicks/click.php?afsrc=1&id=40]PRICELINE[/url] link from Better Bidding.

4 * Midtown West - Mansfield Mar 15-20 $145.00 Decided to add a night (total 5) and go the bidding route: Started with 4 * in Chelsea, Soho/Tribeca, Greenwich Vlg, & Union Square- unsuccessful up to $150 (using rebid zones Coney Island and MorningSide Hgts). Added MTE and dropped back to $145, and got the Mansfield. Not the greatest deal but will do.

Done - Re Dec 2014 thread: Eventually bid on Priceline: Accepted Bid of $172 for (Empire State Bldg) Affinia Shelbourne.

Eventually secured 4 star Shelbourne Affinia for $172 on Name Your Own Price Priceline bid.

Mar 15-19 2016. Looking ahead to our annual St Pats trip to NYC, I see a PL EXPRESS Deal for a 2 1/2 star Central Park So. for $172. Normally I book at 3 1/2 stars or more, but I'm intrigued by the 8+ guest review score and significantly noted savings (52%). Ammenities listed are Free Internet, Fitness Center, and Business Center. FYI, will use BetterBidding PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links when I book. thanks

A bit early for St Patricks, but I've searched Priceline for 3/15 – 3/19, including Express Deals. Care to venture a guess as to what these 2 Four Star Express Deals in Empire State Bldg area may be? $184 (18% off) with 9+ User Rating and only amenity listed is Pet Friendly. $186 (40% off) with 8+ User Rating and 2 amenities Restaurant and Business Center. thanks for any assistance.

Originally looked at Express Deal on PRICELINE for $141/night (see my posting of this date on that board) but went with Hotwire after price compare ($130). Used board HOTWIRE links, thank you

Hotwire: Element NY Times Square West: $130/night June 11-15. Booked w/slight changes: Used HOTWIRE (~$11 cheaper/night) w/ new dates June 11-15. thanks for the ID.

Yes, Fitness Center - guessing Element - seem like good deal for that time of year so far in advance, even if turns out to be Staybridge. Will advise accordingly, Thanks

Done (I have both links open). Might this be Sturbridge Suites or Element? thanks

Any guess for a Priceline Express Deal, 3.5 stars, June 10-14, NYC Madison Square Garden–Convention Center, $142. Shows 9.0 Guest Rating, Free Breakfast. Free Internet, Pets Allowed, Business Center. thanks for any input.

Used the HOTWIRE link on this site earlier today to secure W New York in Mid-Town-East for May 23-26 2013 for $147/night. Offer indicated $363 Other sites, Recommended by 90% and Amenities=Fitness Center, Restaurant, Business Center, High Speed Internet and Spa Services. Seems like a decent enough deal for area - hear W rooms on small side - but s/b fine for two of us. Stayed at the Intercontinental Barclay across Lexington Labor Day weekend for about same price$ (priceline), but no bites this time around.

Hi, after digging a little deeper found a brand new (opened June 01) Home2Suites by Hilton, in desired area right next to their Garden Inn, at Priceline rate of $109. Only 2.5* on Priceline, but averaging over 4* on TripAdvisor (albeit only about 20 reviews in the 2 months open). Has extensive accommodations incl free breakfast, indoor pool, fitness, laundry; With location being somewhat important for my stay, coupled with decent comparative rate for what appears to be a nice hotel - I'm leaning toward grabbing this outright, leaving the guesswork & strategizing for my next trip. While my exact dates are still in flux, I will definitely use the PRICELINE link here when booking. Thank you

Trying to ID Hotwire 3.5* Nashville - Vanderbilt Univ / West End Dec. 06 - 11 2012 $105 : Recommended by 90 % Hotwire customers. Based on amenities, this offering appears to be for a disabled / accessible equipped room, which I do not require, but would not rule out. Amenities: Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Tennis Nearby Accessible for the blind Accessible for the deaf Free Parking In-room accessibility-Accessible bathroom,Raised toilet, hand-held shower and grab bars at tub and toilet, Roll-in shower My preference is 3.5* or 4* in the Vanderbilt/West/Music Row area for this time frame (Early - Mid Dec), but would consider other downtown hotels in same categories. Perhaps I should consider using Priceline ? given the significant number of Nashville re-bid zones at the higher star categories. Vanderbilt Univ. - West End - Music Row area hotel 90 % of Hotwire customer reviews Thanks for any ideas.

3.5 * Westshore - Tampa International Airport $60 Feb 09-10 2013: Amenities: Suite,Fitness Center,High-Speed Internet,Shuttle,Pool,Smoke-Free Rooms,Restaurant Yes, that's 11 months away; we always book an over-niter near TPA before returning to North East after our month at Siesta Key. Often go the Priceline route with much success, but $60 seemed a decent winter rate for 3.5* suite, even this far in advance, and was able to predict Sheraton Suites with high-level of confidence after researching amenities/wins in this forum (but was prepared to accept other if it came to pass).
