Priceline Hotel: Hyatt McDonalds wrecking my Oakbrook bids

[fallidar]

Hi, love priceline to death and this board has been quite helpful but I have a problem. There are alot of GREAT 3.5* properties in the Oakbrook area. Thing is, whenever I try to bid for them I keep getting "upgraded" to the Hyatt McDonalds 4* because their rate is so cheap (deserves a 3*). Don't get me wrong HMcD is an okay property (BORING and all services overpriced) but many of the 3.5* properties are far superior, the embassy suites for example (free drinks and breakfast and better rooms, atmosphere, etc.). Is there anyway to keep priceline from 'upgrading' my 3.5* bids to HMcD. I don't want to stay at HMcD anymore!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Unfortunately, there's no way to keep the service from upgrading your bids (sharing any prior wins would be greatly appreciated.)

HOTWIRE would be an alternative choice, as you could try to pinpoint some of the 3.5*'s based upon the information showing.

Please let us know date/s of travel and desired budget if you need assistance.

Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

We're glad the board has been helpful to you, but it would be appreciated if you began to share your wins so that the information can help others, just as you have been helped by those who posted before you.

As AaronJB mentions, HOTWIRE would be a better choice if you're trying to target, or avoid, a specific property in the zone.

Please read your messages and use the requested PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your future travel purchases.
