nitad Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Ok, this is the first time this ever happened to me. I had decided to bid on a room the last night of my stay so I could be close to the airport for an early morning flight. I saw that someone on the forum won La Concha so I was bidding 4 stars to win either La Concha or the Sheraton. I knew perhaps there would be another 4 star out there, but really expected the win to be in that star range. Oddly, everytime I went to rebid they automatically checked "resort" so I would have to start all over to pick another zone to rebid and make sure that all that was selected was 4 star hotels. After my first bid they asked me to go up to 87.00 which I ignored. After 4 bids i won the Hilton which shocked me as its a resort. I called Priceline, but after some rigamarole there wasn't anything to be done about it. I am not too disappointed with my win, but I was wondering, has this happened to anyone else out there? Do you think I would have gotten a 4* had I gone up to 87.00?I used the PRICELINE links here. Link to comment
AaronJB Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Sorry to hear that your are disappointed with the result.In the PRICELINE hierarchy, resort is above 4* (and below 5*), so a 4* bid can be upgraded to resort. In general, bids can be upgraded to the next higher star rating (if there is a higher star rating.) Hopefully the hotel will still work out okay for your travel plans.Thank you for sharing your win and using the site's PRICELINE or HOTWIRE links to start your purchases and searches.Enjoy your stay.

nitad Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I would just like to say that my stay at the Caribe Hilton was wonderful. It is a beautiful property. A little dated in some of the rooms but very nice in the grounds and the staff was terrific. I will post a review in that section. This was a great deal. Link to comment
