Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Lower Fairfield County (Greenwich-Stamford) Hyatt Regency

[cardinal]

Initial bid of $55 was rejected, with a $70 counter-offer. I rejected the counter-offer, added the norwalk free rebid zone (no 3.5* hotels here), and second bid of $60 was accepted.

I followed your advice, but got the Stamford Marriott for the initial bid of $55 when I was hoping for the Hyatt. Is there a way to specify a hotel? Thanks!

You can't bid on a specific hotel when using PRICELINE. You need to be willing to stay at any ?* or higher in the zone you're bidding at.

If you're trying to target a specific property then HOTWIRE can often be a better option if you're successfully able to identify it based upon the star rating and amenities shown before your purchase... the trade-off is that HOTWIRE usually costs a little more than PRICELINE, so you need to decide what is most important to you for a given stay, the lowest possible price OR the ability to take an educated guess as to the property you may receive.
