Priceline Hotel: 3* Peoria (East) Staybridge Suites Peoria Downtown

[history100]

Most of the time it is great, at other times not so much. I have spent a month working on this bid, playing low, watching ads, gathering info, etc. I know that it is a smallish city so the deals are going to be few but I have stayed on Michigan Ave for half this amount so now paying $95 to stay in Peoria is less than satisfying. But it is still a lot cheaper than the conference hotel/rate, and I know I tried all the tricks before increasing the price high enough to get a nibble.

Have been working this bid for about three weeks.

3-star hotel, started around $40, increasing at $5 until I hit all 5 bidding zones in Peoria

Did that everyday until I hit about $70, still no hit. I kept working that way for about 2-3 weeks, staying low, hoping something would finally open up.

Finally I gave up hoping to find a three-star on the low end. I kept the same strategy but raised bid to $80, 85, 90, then finally 95. Got the Staybringe for 16% off their regular price.

So final play today:

3star, East Peario 80

3star, add one re-bid zone 85

3star, add second rebid zone 90

3star, add third rebid zone 95

Got the Staybridge and glad it is over. I used the link on this site. Thank you Better Bidding - at least I feel like I fought the good fight
