mbgt72 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Criteria: 4 star Hotel Downtown Atlanta for Sat 4/16 one night onlyWinning bid: $57 for Hyatt Regency Atlanta (Downtown)Bid 1: $52, denidedBid 2: $57 (added "Buckhead") wonI followed the PRICELINE link from here to start off, so ya me!I bid at $52 first, then got denied. I was told I had to wait 24 hours, but seeing as how I needed to have a hotel for this weekend, I decided to "add an area" as you cannot simply bump your price up (didn't know that). By adding "Buckhead" to the list, I rebid at $57 and won the bid for the Hyatt Regency Downtown Atlanta.I figured adding Buckhead was a pretty safe bet b/c HOTWIRE.com showed the cheapest downtown area at $82 a night, and the cheapest Buckhead location at $112 a night. So the likelihood that I wound up in Buckhead with such a low increase, was pretty low in my mind (obviously could happen, but I didn't think it would at least). I was okay with Buckhead if that's where I got, but I preferred downtown. So I was happy to get the downtown location.I'm a little bit leery about the Hyatt as it has had some bad reviews, and Expedia technically shows it to be a 3.5 star and not 4 star, but I think it'll be okay. We'll soon see.Thanks so much guys and this site has now saved me a lot of money twice! (Oh, Expedia shows the hotel at $169/night right now too!!!) Link to comment

mbgt72 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks, Yea the other hotel I won was a couple months back in Detroit. I meant to post it up but think I may have forgotten to. It was just a HOTWIRE location that had already been referenced here before. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Even if the hotel has been previously reported, sharing the win would still be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :) Link to comment
