Agoust Posted December 11, 2012 Report Posted December 11, 2012 May I please have some bidding advice for St. Louis - Downtown. I must be in town March 6-10. I'd like to stay at a four star or above, ideally under $140. There seems like there's absolutely nothing available that weekend. Is there a convention or athletic tournament happening?Thank you!
thereuare Posted December 11, 2012 Report Posted December 11, 2012 Am i missing something... the Doubletree Union Station is 4* rated by PRICELINE and can be booked for $113/nite (non-refundable)... does this work well for your plans? If so, do you want to take this property OR if trying to bid on PRICELINE can/should we lower your maximum bid to $110?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Agoust Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Posted December 12, 2012 Weird, that property wasn't coming up yesterday and over the weekend when I was hunting. Using rebid zones (there are lots!), I bid up to $108 but wasn't successful. I used the board's PRICELINE link. The Doubletree is some distance from where I'll be working. Since I'll be on foot, I'm going to let this one percolate for a time.Thank you!
thereuare Posted December 13, 2012 Report Posted December 13, 2012 Keep in mind that when you bid on PRICELINE you need to be willing to stay anywhere in the zone... and this Doubletree is within the zone (so if you were willing to bid $140 in the zone then $113 would certainly seem like a pretty good deal).If you need a specific location within the zone i'd suggest giving HOTWIRE a search to see if anything is offered within your budget that you may be able to make a guess as to the hotel (and therefore the location)... as well as entering your work location in the address box at MAPS and HOTELS.com and you'll be able to see the options closest to your location... how much more/less it would cost to go up/down in star rating or staying further/closer away.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know if we can be of further help along the way.

Agoust Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Posted January 3, 2013 Clicking through HOTWIRE, I saw a 3.5 star at $85. Using the board's hotel list I figured this was the Sheraton St. Louis City Center. I closed my browser and entered PRICELINE using the board's link. I started by bidding at $60 and using rebid zones hit at $70/night. With taxes and fees the total came to $335.96. Many thanks!
thereuare Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Congratulations on your success! Nicely done! Glad to see you're happy with the hotel and deal you received and are looking forward to your trip.Thank you for sharing your win and using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding.
