kkpriest2112 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 This was my first experience with Priceline. I came here first for some tips and they payed off. I ended up reserving the 3* Sheraton in Downtown St. Louis for $58 per night. I wasn't having a lot of luck at first, I guess my prices were too low for the Memorial Day weekend. I've read numerous good revues about this hotel on this site. I started my bidding at $40 for a 4*/3* and increased by $5 each consecutive bid while adding another location area each time. I checked to make sure each location I added didn't possibly have any hotels that nice. It ended up working! I hope this place is everything I've read about it! Link to comment
thereuare Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Congratulations on your first priceline win... looks like a good one!As i don't get to $58 when raising $5 per bid from $40 :) , can you tell us the amount of your highest rejected bid before being accepted at $58? Also, is this the Sheraton on 14th Street? (as it appears to be sold-out for this date as well)Thanks again, have a great stay... spend the money saved on something good!

kkpriest2112 Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Sorry, I started bidding at $43. Last rejected bid was $53. This is the Sheraton on 14th Street and after checking their website, I found out that they are sold out on these dates. I also found out that room rates start at $159 and up. Sweet! Looking forward to a great Memorial Day weekend. Link to comment
