taliategan Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Amenities - Indoor Pool; Pool; High Speed Internet; Free Breakfast; Airport Shuttle; Business Center; Golf Nearby; Fitness Center; Laundry Facilities; Free Parking. 85% HOTWIRE approval rating; good reviews on Trip Advisor; $79 on hotel's web site to book; bid on PRICELINE up to $ 55 in both Blue Ash and King's Island; decided to take this HOTWIRE listing to guarantee the 2 beds and free breakfast, rather than take a chance bidding higher on PRICELINE. Used betterbidding HOTWIRE link to make the purchase. Link to comment

taliategan Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 As an interesting side note - the 3* in the Blue Ash zone I was bidding on under Priceline was listed by Priceline as the "best value" in all of the 12 or so zones in Cincinnati, so I was somewhat surpised I did not win by the $ 55 bid. Not really sure how Priceline determines it's "best value" - ratio of price needed for successful bid to the actual price of that hotel or the median price of hotels offered in that zone at that star level or by some other means.

thereuare Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 The 'median price' and 'best value' designations should best be ignored as they're not meaningful to use in a bidding strategy.
