IBDP Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 I tried to get a hotel in Downtown Portland bidding up to $135.00 for a 4*; $135.00 for a 3.5* and 110.00 for a 3*. No wins. I have not as yet tried Convention Center, as I wanted this employee to be in downtown, but maybe I will have to do that. I will report my win or loss.Regards,Donna
thereuare Posted August 4, 2010 Report Posted August 4, 2010 These are tough dates in the area... HOTWIRE has "slim pickins" for both the Downtown and Convention Center zones, a good chance PRICELINE does as well.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Good luck.

IBDP Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Posted August 4, 2010 I always do use the links. Even when I have to change areas in a city I click back to Betterbidding, then click again through your link. :) I will now post my Portland "win" on the Hotw.ire areaRegards,Donna
IBDP Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Posted August 4, 2010 Amenities: Boutique, Restaurant, Fitness, Business Center, High Speed InternetAfter spending many hours over two days trying to get a hotel on Priceline...bid as high as $185.00 for a 4* Downtown (what is going on with prices???) I spotted the Hotel Vintage on Hotwire for $162.00 for the two days, which seemed like a bargain after my Priceline bids. How often is it that Hotwire is less expensive than Priceline for the same (I think) available hotel?Regards,Donna
