Hotwire Hotel: 4* Minneapolis (Downtown) Hilton Minneapolis and Towers

[megslegs]

hello,

i've being trying desperately to win a 4* or 3.5* hotel downtown minneapolis for july 18-21st for the past couple days. i'm very fluent with the repeat bidding,

and have even bid higher than i care to spend (95$) to try to win a hotel. this has all been a futile attempt. any suggestions???

thanks!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

What would be your desired budget per night for this stay? I'm guessing a 4* may take $115-135.

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

hmm...i saw some of the other people's winning bids on here and thought maybe i could win with under $100/night. wishful thinking? do more

hotels or opportunities come avail closer to check in date? or the other way around?

thanks!

Note my $59 bid for July 19-21 that got me the 4* W Foshay. However, maybe July 18 is harder (I haven't tried).

for some reason the 18th made things much harder. i found 66$/night at the 4* hilton on hotwire that i purchased

for the 19/20th and will try and find something cheap near the mall on priceline for the 18th. i don't mind

switching hotels and it got us a 4* for two of the nights :)

ps that 66$/night at 4* hilton in downtown minneapolis is still avail for anyone who's interested. just have to check the dates :)
