owlisun Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 Using the PRICELINE link on Better Bidding, I chose the Downtown Sarasota and Airport Area (SRQ), 4-Star Deluxe level, and bid $62. I was immediately counter-offered the hotel for $77. I ignored the counter-offer and decided to re-bid by choosing an additional area (I chose East Sarasota, but I could have chosen any other area available for Sarasota since the only 4* hotels in Sarasota currently are in the Downtown/Airport area) and raising my bid by a little less than half of what was requested. I won the hotel on a $69 bid, with taxes and fees totalling an additional $16.04. Hyatt's Daily Rate for their least expensive room on 10/30 is listed as $149.00 (before taxes/fees) on their website. I got a pretty good deal for a Saturday night in downtown Sarasota at the end of October.
