Rebekah Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 Used your PRICELINE link, of course!10/22/10 - 10/24/101st bid: 3* St. Paul (St. Paul) @ $50 - rejected2nd bid: added 2.5* and upped bid to $55 - rejected3rd bid: used the bidding again strategy to find a different area with only a 1*, added that area and upped bid to $65 - acceptedBest Western Kelley Inn - please add this to your Minnesota - St. Paul (St. Paul) list. I'm a little disappointed because it's a few blocks further away than we wanted to be for a wedding reception, and it's not quite as nice of a hotel as I'd hoped. Looking back, I should have either stuck with the 3* and used the bidding again strategy for bid 2, or just waited the 24 hours. But the price is right, and I'll be sure to put a review up when we get back.Thanks!
thereuare Posted September 28, 2010 Report Posted September 28, 2010 Sorry to hear your a little disappointed in the results and this is a little further then you would like for the event your in town for.Hopefully for the price you can still make this work for your needs and it will prove to be a good value.For future bidding note that you had raised your bid while lowering your star rating and this is generally not recommended, see this thread for more info: If You Lower Your Bid then Lower Your Star RatingThank you for using the PRICELINE link on teh board and sharing your win, helping us add this property to the Priceline Hotel List.Enjoy your stay.

Rebekah Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Posted September 28, 2010 D'oh...wish I would have seen that sooner. Oh well...this is the first time I've ever been even slightly disappointed with PRICELINE, and hopefully the hotel will still work for us. Thanks!
