Something interesting came up when I did my search.

4 star - 90% recommended - Pool, Restaurant, Smoke Free, Business Center, Fitness Center, High Speed Internet, acc path, acc bathroom, handicapped parking, in-room accessibility - $87

3.5 Star - 95% recommended - Fitness, Restaurant, Business Center, High speed Internet $71

Interesting that there are 2 3.5 star hotels.

Any thoughts on these hotels?

Do you guys know much about the PRICELINE EXPRESS Deals? They have a 3.5 star in downtown Pittsburgh for $59. They show Guaranteed Amenities as Free internet, Pool, Restuarant, Casino and Fitness Center.

The Sheraton Station Square lists a casino under their amenities (although i don't think they have one onsite) and fits the rest of the description... that would be my best guess for this one.

Well, I figured I would try to bid lower than the express deal. I tried $52 for a 3.5 star and they said no, but that I could add add $9. I declined. Logged out, used your PRICELINE link again and bid $55 by adding a zone that didn't have a 3.5. I got the room and you were right, it was the Sheraton Station Square. Best rate I could find for that hotel is $139. Not bad, a savings of $84. Thanks for your help!

Hi There,

I'm new to the forums. I'm trying to get the Wyndham Grand or the Doubletree. Not sure what the best approach is to start bidding. I noticed that the Express Deals was $68 and it likely would give me the Sheraton Station Square which is okay, but at the end of our list of preferred hotels.

Kevin,

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Please start a new thread with the details of your stay (date/s of travel, desired budget per night/zone/star rating) and we would be happy to offer our thoughts on how to proceed.

There is no way to target a particular hotel when bidding. HOTWIRE is a better choice if you are looking for a particular hotel or hotels, but there's still no guarantees (the hotels showing may not be the one/s you want, etc.) Both services require flexibility in terms of where you end up.
