Priceline Hotel: 3* Worcester Failed Bid $50 9/10/10- 9/12/10

[wliwlCindy]

Bid $50 hoping to get Residence Inn, which I have gotten several times in the past. Bid rejected. I'll try again for $60 in 24 hours.

On 8/14 I rebid $65 on a 3 star in Worcester and it was rejected. I added in Auburn (no 3 star available) and rebid $70 and was rejected. Oh well. (I have a refundable reservation at the Residence Inn for $139.)

HOTWIRE currently has the Residence Inn Worcester available for your dates for $95 (non-refundable) and $111 (refundable)... just search HOTWIRE for your dates and this is listed as a non-opaque option (ie- click the CONTNUE button next to the listing and you'll see the name of the hotel)

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Thank you for the HOTWIRE suggestion. I will use that if I can't win a bid soon. (I am so cheap! lol) Meanwhile, my parents want to come with us, so now I want two rooms. I think this is not an issue of price, but availability. I really only want to stay at the Residence Inn, although I would be ok with Courtyard too. I'm glad the Crowne Plaza closed - that was a 3* and it was a dump.

Today (8/17) I bid:

2 rooms

Worcester 3* $55 rejected

Worcester + Auburn 3* $65 rejected

BTW I always use your PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to bid.

Since the Residence Inn is showing as a "non opaque" property they may not have offered the opaque suppliers any inventory for these dates (although rates don't see too high)... i would replace your current reservation with the $111/nite rate just in case inventory doesn't open up with the opaque suppliers, and the rate may not be there when you want it later.

Thanks for using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.

Keep us updated and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.

At this point Hotwire is showing a hidden hotel that is 3* and fits the description of the Residence Inn for a non-refundable $79. I have continued trying to bid to no avail. I'll give it a little more time, but I bet that $79 is the Residence Inn...

(BTW my dates are 9/24-9/26.)

As always, thanks!

What amenities are showing with the HOTWIRE listing?

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

[wliwlCindy]

Well, now the rate is $82, but the amenities listed are:

Complementary Breakfast

Fitness Center

Pool

Business Center

Laundry

Hi Speed Internet in rooms

Kitchenette

Sure sounds like the Residence Inn to me.

This does match previous reports for the Residence Inn so that would be my best guess for this one as well.
