Priceline Hotel: 4* Paris (Champs Elysees-Opera Quarter West) Melia Vendome Boutique

[andywalker_smith]

Hi guys,

I have read the personal message from BetterBidding i was sent :).

I have booked to go to Paris from 11th-13th April. I am desperate for your guys advice though - as i'm new to this name your own price thing.

I am going with my girlfriend, and want to stay in a nice-ish area, 4* hotel, nearer the city centre the better.

So the main three areas I am interested in are:

Champs Elysees - Opera Quarter West Details

Eiffel Tower - Porte De Versailles - Montparnasse

Opera Quarter East - Les Halles

My first choice is Champs Elysees though. Although, I think it may be too expensive.

My last bid was

Hi there,

I will use the PRICELINE link to start off my purchase!

Date: 11-13th April

I want preferably a 4* to be in any of these:

Champs Elysees - Opera Quarter West Details

Eiffel Tower - Porte De Versailles - Montparnasse

Opera Quarter East - Les Halles

Max bid is probably $160.

I had a bid of $135 rejected today.

If not within my max budget, I will go 3* within the same areas.

Any suggestions for bidding patterns?

I will use the PRICELINE to begin my purchase!

To confirm, you don't want the St. Germain - Latin Quarter - Montparnasse zone? (it's usually one users include, so just making sure you didn't overlook it... perhaps this zone doesn't work for your needs)

I will use the PRICELINE to begin my purchase!

Thanks... please click this PRICELINE link before replying.

Yes... i don't want that zone because everyone seems to be getting the Marriot Rive Gauche which is miles away from the city-centre.

I have seen a "top-secret" 4* hotel priced at
