I reviewed betterbidding for the range of prices to bid. I started to bid on one account at $65 for a 4* downtown Austin. Rejected. I added 3* and increased the price to $70. Rejected. I started to bid on a second account at $90 for 4* in downtown Austin. I bid $90 based on the last couple of posts that won at $89 and $95. Won Hyatt downtown. I have friends who secured a room at the Hyatt earlier today. They are paying regular price at $200+ per night. They are going to be really miffed! Ha ha! :)

I was looking for a 4* downtown Austin hotel and started bidding yesterday at $60 and worked my way up to $95. This morning I tried again, starting out at $100 for a 4* downtown. I added zones increasing my bid up to $115 afer a couple of rejections where I was finally accepted by the Hilton for $115/night. Hilton.com and Hotels.com had Hilton rooms at $229, so $115 was right at half price. :) I don't know why Austin hotels are so expensive right now on Priceline. The last time I was there last fall, my $65 bid was accepted by the Omni. :)

Check out should have been 1/4/06 not 1/4/05.

Baymont Inn & Suites - Houston Southwest 6790 Southwest Freeway Houston, Texas 77074 (713) 784-3838 $39 per night for July 9-11, 2005. Total charges were $96.95 after taxes. Front desk clerk during check in was not very bright. When I asked if the hotel had high speed internet, she told me no and said that the hotel had dial up. Knowing that all Baymonts have high speed internet, I figured out that the hotel had wireless. They also were out of non-smoking rooms, so I ended up in a smoking room. Facilities are true to the 2* rating.

Started off my bid at $40 for a 4* hotel in Galleria area and was denied. Next bid, I added 3* at $42 and got the Hilton Post Oak.
