Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Oklahoma City (North) Crowne Plaza

[dannon]

Hi,

First thanks for your help on my NY trip. I bid on a rental car in NY through your link and got a great deal and I posted that info. :)

So now, I wanted to bid on a hotel in OKC Airport North. Unfortunately I cannot bid on any other areas as this location is a must for me. So my free rebid options are restricted. I am OK with a 2.5/3/3.5* hotels. My max bid is around $40-$45/night as I want to book 2 rooms for 3 nights from 05/23/10 to 05/26/10. So what should be my bid strategy here? I know I am a bit optimistic for a 3/3.5* hotel here. But just giving it a shot! If not 2.5* should be fine.

And as before,will be booking through the PRICELINE links here. Thanks !! :)

Hi, Just a follow up to a request I had submitted earlier. I used the PRICELINE link on this forum and got the 2.5* Crowne Plaza in the OKC north area. I initially bid $45 for a 3* hotel,was rejected, added 2.5* and reduced the bid by $1 to $44 and the price was accepted.

Here are the bid details :

Your Offer Price Per Room, Per Night: $44.00

Subtotal: $264.00

Taxes & Fees: $46.63

Total Charges*: $310.63

Thanks.This is a great site . I used the info in the earlier threads for the 2.5* OKC north and was almost certain that it would be the Crowne Plaza. :)

Thanks for the reply and for reminding me about the NYC hotel bid. Sorry for not posting a follow up on that -I totally forgot about it. I decided to stay at my friend's house for that NYC trip and that's why did not use the PRICELINE.

I was back in NY this month end at Islip Airport and needed a midsized rental car and posted that winning Alamo bid in the NY car rental forum.

Also,just a follow up to the Crowne Plaza. The hotel rate on its website was $135+tax.So I saved $90 per night per room x 3 nights = saved total of 180x3=$540 . That's very significant. I have been using PRICELINE for a long time now and the savings never cease to amaze me. Thanks. :)
