phila Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 3.5-star hotel in State Capitol - Univ. Area - Central MadisonThis hotel features the following amenities:Smoke Free RoomsGuest rooms at this hotel are always smoke-free.Fitness CenterGuests have access to exercise equipment; an additional charge may apply.Pool(s)Property offers at least one pool area; hours and dates of operation may be seasonal.Restaurant(s)Property offers at least one restaurant on the premises; hours and days of operation may vary.Business CenterGuests have access to business equipment and services; an additional charge may apply.High-Speed Internet AccessGuestrooms are equipped with high-speed Internet access; an extra charge may apply. From looking at the possible hotels (and their rates from their respective websites), it looks like the Sheraton ($132 + tax), Doubletree ($135.15 + tax), or the Concourse ($209 + tax). The Hilton Manona Terrace is sold out on Sunday (from their website, and aggregate sites). I'm assuming it's the Sheraton, but yesterday's Hotwire search came up with $76 for a 3.5 star, and Sheraton's site listed their lowest rate at ($249 + tax). Any ideas? Link to comment
thereuare Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Please start by reading your messages.The amenities above match previous reports for the Sheraton Madison so that would be my best guess for this one.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

phila Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I haven't booked yet. Yesterday's (5/4/11) price on hotwire for 3.5 stars = $76. Today's price on hotwire for 3.5 stars = $105. This happened the other week, too. Is it because I searched for the same dates 2 days in a row?I'm looking to try PRICELINE now. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Rates can change at any time - Summer is certainly a popular season in Madison, and rates can certainly climb if traffic is higher than expected.Which PRICELINE zones would be acceptable?Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

phila Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I am only interested in the University/Downtown area (which is already ludicrously large). I will place another bid on priceline this evening. Link to comment

phila Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Last week I placed a bid on PL starting at $55, then $60 the next day. Yesterday (5/10/11) I placed a new bid for $70, which was not accepted. I was given a free bid if I increased it to $90; this bid was accepted for the Sheraton Madison, as expected. The price on HW at the time was $97, likely for the same place (e.g., 3.5* downtown Madison). Link to comment
