  1. Selected a 2.5* but got a 3* for 73 CAD = 57.23 USD. Was hoping for a free breakfast :) Overall not bad though Four Points By Sheraton Fargo star rating 1 Night, 1 Room Check-in: Friday, November 10, 2017 (03:00 PM) Check-out: Saturday, November 11, 2017 (12:00 PM) For 2 Adults Summary of Charges Total Charged: $87.55 Offer Price: $73.00/night Number of rooms: 1 Room Number of nights: 1 Night Room Subtotal: $73.00 Taxes & Fees: $14.55 Total Charged: $87.55
  2. 3.5* Raleigh Marriott City Center... I was rejected for the first three bids ($60, $65, $71). Last rebid option was accepted at $76.00. FYI the bid was placed on Nov 10, 2014.
  3. So the saga continued.... I ended up going back and bidding again but this time I started with an opening bid of $150 and incremented by $5 each time. Based on your comments and the information pulled from some of the hotel websites I was expecting to at least get the Crown Plaza for $170/night. See below for bids and info and the winning bid.... Thanks once again for the great advice. 1st bid $150 - rejected but informed if I bid $36 more I would get a hotel. 2nd bid $155 - rejected. 3rd bid $160 - rejected. 4th bid $165 - Won Hotel Ivy (4.5*)
  4. Looks like I'd be dropping my * level down to 3 - 3.5 and shooting for the most $70... which after using this forum for so long feels like they (the hotels) are finally getting back at me :) ***EDIT*** AaronJB - what are your thoughts on cost / night to stay in the downtown area for these dates? I'm thinking I have a few more rebid options and I'm contemplating if it is worth pushing my maximum up to meet the range. ***/EDIT***
  5. Tried for a 4* starting at $45 with a total of 18 rebid options. After failing 11 bids to secure the downtown area I jumped to $70 and was still rejected but some forum posts indicate recent successes at $47 and upwards (but not higher than $70) for the same * & area !?!? Does anyone know if these rates would be accepted closer to my check-in date or is this based on current hotel vacancy rates?
  6. 3 night stay First bid = $80 with a rebid option by adding Banff 4* Won the bid first crack (should have bid $10 lower). taxes/night = $12.72 total per night = $92.72 Grand total = $278.16
  7. Noticed someone recently got the Vancouver Holiday Inn (YVR) for $51.00 so I thought I'd start at $52.00 because I only saw Langley as a second rebid option (or risk staying at the HI on Broadway). Nailed the HI @ $52.00 first shot. FYI staying at the Broadway location isn't bad either. I've stayed there before. It is nice and also conveniently close to the sky-train which will take you from/to the airport. Thanks to the forums once again :) DCowboy
  8. Well if I book it, I'll let you know but I am thinking we might end up spending the ~135/night for the all inclusive through Hotwire - this looks like it will be the Cozumel Allegro? 3.5 * Cozumel Jan18-23 Amenities: Resort Beachfront Food and Beverages Included A La Carte Dining Water Sports/Activities Included Evening Entertainment Included Daily Activities Included Complimentary Breakfast Children's Activity Program Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry Facilities Tennis Nearby Spa Services All-Inclusive Recommended by 90% of Hotwire users
  9. I may wait to book once we are out there in case our plans change. Either way I'll let everyone know how well we got on. Thanks again, DCowboy

  13. Well I decided I wanted to be a bit further North in the Hotel zone after reading some of the reviews for the Westin (PL bidders seemed to be getting this for ~54). It seemed to me a better deal to pay the extra $20/night. End result I booked Jan 14-16th for $72/night and got the Omni Cancun Hotel for a total of 169.70 w/taxes. Thanks for your help once again... Love these forums!!
  14. I'm torn between going with this or trying the $54/night deals others seem to be getting on priceline....If I knew for sure I'd get the Hilton (PL or HW) I would pay the extra but I'm not sure... I'll let you know how I get on. thanks for the quick reply. DCowboy
  15. Can someone help identify this hotel in the South Hotel Zone of Cancun? $72 / night from Jan 14 & 15 with option for bed choice for an extra $12 ($84/night): Resort Beachfront Fitness Center Pool(s) Restaurant(s) Business Center High-speed Internet Access Golf Nearby Tennis Nearby Spa Services Recommended by 75% of Hotwire customers. I should have booked earlier as it looks like the price went up a bit.... I am pretty sure this was in the lower $60 range previously. Thanks in advance, Dcowboy
  16. Late response but just wanted to inform others, I did have the first nights charges reversed :)
  17. An update to my Priceline adventure.... I arrived at the Sheraton but unfortunately they only had the one room and not the two I had booked/paid for. However, they were very nice and accommodating. I was offered to take the one room with two double beds and they would refund my monies for both rooms for the first night (I had booked a two nights stay for two rooms), or they would put me up at a neighbouring hotel (La Quinta Inn & Suites) and also refund me for the two rooms for the first night. We decided to take the second option. I have to say I really liked all the perks of La Quinta hotel (free wifi in the room, continental breakfast, friendly staff). I have contacted Priceline since I was told by the Sheraton front desk their accounting department would be refunding Priceline who would in turn refund my credit card. Further updates to come...
  18. Started at $46 & had a total of 10 rebid options, incremented by $2 and won the bid at $48 :) Curious about the taxes though is $34.52 for two rooms ($17.26 each) considered normal? Grand total for two rooms at a 3.5* 226.52!!
