javatrip Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I have a conference in Sacramento and have been trying to get a 4* Sacramento Downtown hotel through Priceline (following the link above) for 2/1/2011 to 2/2/2011. I tried 3 times, using all 7 rebid zones and going as high as $140 since it's a work trip, but kept getting rejected. I guess it's busy with the legislature in session and a new governor in town... Finally, tonight, I tried again and got the 4* Citizen hotel on my first bid of $100, so it might be available for a bit less. Patience and persistence paid off, demonstrating that it's more effective (and cheaper) to wait for new inventory to be released than to overbid. I've stayed at the Citizen once before and it's a bit of elegance in a restored 1920's art deco building in a great location near the convention center. It's not as modern (obviously) as the other 4* properties in downtown Sacramento, but it's way more stylish. Link to comment
