That last "try again" email is simply notification. It often happens when one has been bidding and then stops for a while.

A counter-offer though ("if you would just bid x-dollars more"), is indeed an indication one is getting closer. In that case one will almost always be successful somewhere between the last bid and the counter-offer.

Have you looked at what hotels would cost for your dates via other methods? Priceline on the retail side, Expedia, ... the actual hotel web sites?

The 5* Intercontinental is $122 for your dates on the retail side of PRICELINE. I don't know where it is located, and couldn't get the map to work, but thought I'd mention it.

Romelle,

Thanks for clarification. I've tried several sites earlier (priceline, kayak , direct sites etc.) but could't find too attractve offers - particulary IC was available for USD270 and higher. If you have another link - will appreciate for information. But in any case I'll continue my effors having already booked refundable double at Villa Fontaine Shiodome (directly).

And good plan to have the refundable back-up!

I've had success with GTA Hotels (link from here under the Support/Travel Links tab). Also there is agoda.com and one called something like asianhotels.com.

That lower priced Intercontinental I mentioned is actually in Yokohama.

I checked and the link I posted earlier doesn't seem to be working. So, if Yokohama would work, below is how I found it:

I first went to the PRICELINE bidding area from this site via the blue PRICELINE logo (upper right corner).

When I got to the PL bidding area ("Name Your Own Price"), I then hit "hotels" at the top left on the page.

This took me out of the bidding area and over to the retail area. There I just entered Tokyo and your dates. Some 120 hotels showed up, but I selected just for 5*s.

There is also a www.asiarooms.com.

I've fixed the link... should go directly to the Inter-Continental now :)
