Priceline Hotel: 4* Brussels Renaissance Hotel

[faithful96]

This was a bid that backfired... we were trying for the Marriott right in the center of the city (by the Bourse) and bid on the high side at $70. I know we could have gotten the Renaissance Brussels Hotel for $55 ish a night. Learn from my mistake.

Thanks for the post.

Here is a thread with more on the subject: DON'T BID HIGHER FOR A SPECIFIC HOTEL.

Enjoy your stay.

Thanks for the link, thereuare. I read through the entire thread (although to be honest, I need to read it again). I tried to apply some of the logic to a Philly bid I made today.

After reading the thread, I see that with the Brussels bid, we took a gamble and it didn't pay off. It certainly was a crapshoot. Luckily we were willing to accept the other 4* hotels in Brussels.
