Priceline Hotel: 3* Atlanta (Northlake) Holiday Inn Northlake

[sgoofi]

I initially was trying to win a room in the Emory-Druid Hills Area. Based on previous wins on BetterBidding, I expected to get either the Courtyard Executive Park or Doubletree Druid Hills for under $50.

After 3 different days of rebidding in $3 increments starting from $40, all the way up to $60, I got no bites. I researched to determine if there was a convention going on at that time and saw that there is actually a NFL game going on 10/9, which I assume affects whether or not rooms are released to Priceline.

I finally opened up to checking into a different area and looked into getting a room in the Northlake area. Initial bid was $45 (rejected), $48 (rejected), $54 (rejected), and finally winning at $58 a night.

I'm still a little disappointed as even $58 a night for that area is a little high for Priceline which is only a savings of 30% compared to the advertised 40 - 60%.

Congrats on your success. :)

Good deal for this Holiday Inn property and if there's a game going on hotels may not discount as aggressively.
