So I was able to book a backup that expires 04/26 and I am hoping to book at the last minute to get a priceline deal. I have checked priceline express every single day (often multiple times a day) since January and the prices have been firm. Does anyone have thoughts on whether hotels with excess inventory will drop prices at the last minute? Obviously I realize that this is difficult to predict but if it seemed like prices will stay the same or go up then I will just book the $192, which is likely the Hyatt. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Last question - what is the difference in price you can get with savvy bidding versus PRICELINE EXPRESS? I am trying to figure out the difference and whether I should be bidding as I used to.

I have checked multiple times every day since late January and the prices are staying firm for my dates. I've got a back up that expires soon. I'm thinking of booking a PRICELINE EXPRESS deal for $192. I'm hoping it's the Hyatt. Can you help me ID this?

Thank you. Sorry for asking questions that are probable obvious but can you help ID Priceline Express hotels?

Thanks in advance

thanks. prices suck!

I am going to New Orleans 04/28/16 - 05/02/16 for Jazz Fest and need 1 room (downtown, warehouse, or FQ). With the artists just announced, PRICELINE rates for these date are currently high. I am predicting that they will go down eventually as this has been my experience in the past. I am checking rates every day. To hedge my bet, I'd like to book a backup now that I cancel once I get a PL room. Can anyone recommend where to book a room as a backup that I can cancel with short notice? Thanks in advance,

Used PRICELINE links here. I am a little pissed because it looks like PL just upped this hotel from a 3.5 to 4 star. I was not expecting this hotel bidding 4 star.

Thanks. That's what I guessed when I saw casino. I am not really into that hotel so I think I will try my luck on PRICELINE. I've got kids so ideally I'd like the Omni Rancho Las Palmas but I'd settle for Westin Mission Hills or anything else that is generally kid friendly. Agua Caliente is more like a tour bus full of old people ready to swing the one arm bandit type place.

It's now $15.95 a day! The deals keep getting better and better. I wish I had held out a little more too

I meant half as much as the minivan. I've got 3 kids too and I can appreciate the benefits of a minivan.

I use HOTWIRE as a guidepost for my PRICELINE car rental bidding. If you see a drop in rates on hotwire then pricline will also drop. As a rule of thumb, I always bid several under hotwire's lowest daily rate. Your dates are showing about $50 a day on HOTWIRE for a one way minivan rental. I suspect that you will not hit on PRICELINE for under $44. Note that the full size SUV is half price for those dates. Can you consider getting a smaller vehicle?

I just checked a car reservations just shot up by hundreds of dollars for my dates on both Hotwire and Thrifty. It looks like I may have gotten lucky.
