Priceline Hotel: 3* Pittsburgh (University Center) Holiday Inn

[theduffster]

Multiple attempts were made to get a room in Pittsburgh at the above dates.

First tried at fairly low prices in the Downtown area at 4 stars (by adding in other areas since downtown has the only 4 star hotels), but even at $150 my bid was rejected. Tried going down to 3 stars (downtown's lowest, according to the list on this site), with no luck, also up to $150/night.

Decided to add in the University Center area and tried bidding at $100/night for a 3 star to start. I got the message saying I could get it at $120/night, but decided to try again at $110 and it was accepted. :)

Used the PRICELINE link each day I tried, and I kept trying over the course of 4 or 5 days since I kept getting fed up and putting it off. :)
