en_grace Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well it is the ny bar exam weekend. All the hotels in downtown are full. I bidded for 3star till USD 70 in Amherst, Airport and Downtown and was unsuccessful. then i tried lowering to 2star and bidded till USD 60 and was unsuccessful.Finally after many tries, i lowered to 1star and bidded at 35, 38 and landed Extended Stay America Amherst @ USD 40 per night excluding tax. My final bill for 6 nights is Extended Stay America Buffalo - Amherst125 Inn Keepers LaneAmherst, NY 14228716-564-0620 Check-In: Friday, July 22, 2011-03:00 PMCheck-Out: Thursday, July 28, 2011-11:00 AMRoom Cost (avg. per room, per night): $40.00 (USD)Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 6Room Subtotal: $240.00 (USD)Taxes and Fees: $47.22 (USD)Total Room Cost: $287.22 (USD)While the star rating is not ideal, the lack of hotel rooms in buffalo and the ny bar exam and the tourist crowd makes this a ok deal. i didnt want to share a room due to the preparation for the exams. There is an option to extend at the same rate. But i will decide only after i check in. I may be able to snag a better deal after the peak period where the ny bar crowd leaves buffalo.

thereuare Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!Congratulations on your success! While perhaps not the hotel quality you originally set out for, hopefully this will work for your needs and you're happy with the results.NOTE that when given the option to extend your stay is offered, it doesn't guarantee you'll be able to do so, sometimes PRICELINE will come back and say that there is no availability for the additional nite requested or that there is availability but only at a higher rate (at which point you'll be given the option to accept or reject the higher price)Thank you for sharing your win with the board and helping us update the Priceline Hotel List with the new star rating for this property.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Enjoy your stay.
