Bidding history

I did not know I would need a hotel until last minute. I did not have time to "mess around" with too many bids.

Day 1

1) 4* Offered $68 + $10/night Priceline bonus. (I do not know why I was offered this bonus.... Perhaps because I hadn't used Priceline in several years??).

2) 4* Added Mt. View (no 4* hotels in that zone) and increased offer to $72 (plus Priceline's $10 bonus).

Day 2

1) 4* Offered $78 (For whatever reason, the $10 bonus was not offered after Day 1.)

2) Added 3 1/2* Offered $80

3) Added 3* Offered $60

4) Added Mt. View and offered $65. Accepted. (Offer of $60 for my hotel did not work. $65 did.)

Side Notes

I did not want to stay too far outside the Cupertino area. As my luck with Priceline has always been, I was assigned to a location furthest from my desired location. As it turned out the extra 15 minute drive wasn't too bad at all.

Just a guess but I'm guessing most winning Priceline bids in the Cupertino - Campbell area will get this Campbell location more often than in Cupertino.

Hotel looks rather nondescript on the outside. Nice on the inside, great staff, and easily worthy of 3* rating.

You are welcome. My review was both read and replied to quickly. Too, my hotel has already been added to the list. Nicely done!

Betterbidding is a cool website. Makes me wish I traveled more! Hope my review may help another traveler someday.
