joealx Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 I took a gamble and lost! I played around with 2*, hoping to get the Hampton Inn Downtown ( saw 2* at Priceline's packages). Bid $32,34, 36.No luck, so I dropped down to 1*, hoping to be upgraded to 2*. This is what I got. Terrible.Reading the horror stories at Trip Advisor, I will forfiet this bid, and go over to Hotwire.
joealx Posted August 10, 2005 Author Report Posted August 10, 2005 P. S.The dates were for 10/13 and 10/14 2005. 2 nights, $91 and change total.Hotel is at 18th and Euclid.
thereuare Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!That bad? Sorry to hear your gamble didn't pay off... in similar situation may be best to just go to Hotwire before lowering to 1* properties. Also, with so much time before your stay, why even take the chance on a 1* bid, why not just wait out the 72 hours and try again?You post suggests that you bid $36 at the 2* level and then $36 at the 1* level, is this correct?Thanks for the post and new hotel to add to our lists.. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
joealx Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Posted August 11, 2005 Yes, I didn't change my bid price. The reason why I didn't raise is that I really wanted to see what would happen. If I raised, I would have probably been upgraded to 2.5*.
