I was bidding on MCO area in Priceline, and started with the MCO zone at $59 for 3.5 stars. Bid denied, but offered a room for $73. Thought I would try one more time...
Added Kissimmee zone thinking there was nothing above 2 stars, and upped the bid to $60. I ended up matching to this Kissimmee resort (not what I wanted). This does not look like a 3.5 star resort, and gets very mixed reviews on Trip Advisor. Not a good gamble on my part. :(
You'll want to add this to your Kissimmee Priceline list. Others might try what I did and be unpleasantly surprised.
Used the Priceline link on your site.
Used the link for Bidding.helper to start the research. Thought I had Hyatt Huntington Beach with the amenities listed, so feel a little duped. Not a bad price but could have done close to this through other sites with an option to cancel the reservation. Here are the amenities listed through Biddinghelper:
Resort, Pet friendly, Near Beach, Smoke Free Rooms, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Self service laundry, Internet access, Tennis Nearby
Through the Hotwire.com site, it had 100% approval, which led me to believe it was the Hyatt. Bummer, but hopefully the stay will be good.
Used PRICELINE link through this site.
Tried bidding $45,$50,$55 using FLL Airport south, FLL Downtown, and FLL Airport North. I gave up because checking availability through other sites, I knew it would be tough. Priceline offered $76 for the Express Deal. After some research, I knew it was the Hyatt Place at the Convention Center. Exactly the hotel I wanted, with free airport shuttle and breakfast. The on-line price through Hyatt Place directly was $155 for pre-paid room. Thought $76 was a bargain!
Started with the PRICELINE link here. :)
First bid was $45 for 3* Kansas City (Airport South)
Second bid was $50 adding Kansas City North
Third bid was $55 adding Kansas City Crown Center
Won Hyatt Place, with taxes/fees it was $72.38. Saved 50%!
Not going to risk it if you think it may be The Sky. Kimpton is running a special right now where the same room would cost me $168 at The Sky Hotel. I'll book directly with the hotel. Sometimes Hotwire/Priceline are not the best deals. Thank you!
Yes -- thinking it is either Limelight or The Sky Hotel, but cannot tell for certain. If it is The Sky it is not a good deal:
Boutique Hotel
Slopeside
Airport Shuttle
Fitness Center
Pool(s)
Restaurant(s)
Business Center
High-Speed Internet Access
Golf Nearby
Tennis Nearby
Accessible for the blind

I placed a search through the HOTWIRE link on Betterbidding. Dates of the search was 6/18/2012 - 6/19/2012 for 2 adults and 1 child.
Hotel win is a "Super Savings" for $207 (other sites $341). 100% recommended in Hotwire reviews. Amenities include:Boutique Hotel, Slopeside, Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Pool(s), roll in shower. Could it be the Sky?
Used PRICELINE link on this site...
First bid: 3.5 Stars Denver West - $55
Second bid: Added Evergreen and went up to $58
Third bid: Added Denver Tech Center South and bid $56
Won on the third bid. Hotel site shows $104 for the same night, so nearly half off.
I knew this weekend would be tough - Reds/Cardinals playing - so downtown was out of the question.
Started low bid downtown, though, because you never know what might be available.
$47 Cincinnati Downtown - 4*
$50 + Riverfront
$55 + Blue Ash 3*
$60 + Kings Island
$65 + Florence
Room Cost (avg. per room, per night): $65.00 (USD)
Number of Rooms: 1
Number of Guests Per Room: 2
Number of Nights: 2
Room Subtotal: $130.00 (USD)
Taxes and Fees: $28.80 (USD)
Total Room Cost: $158.80 (USD)
Courtyard gets mixed reviews, but with not much available in Cincinnati this weekend, I'll take it!
Think this is a great hotel for the price. Didn't want to stay at Double Tree through Priceline (seems like that's where most of the winning bids through Priceline were.)

I searched on Vail using BiddingHelper. Dates are 6/27/2015 - 7/3/2015. I found a 3.5 Lionshead Condo for $200/nt. Any ideas what it might be?
