Priceline Hotel: 4* Pittsburgh (Downtown) Omni William Penn Hotel

[travelAlot]

Had a changeable air award ticket and played the waiting game as I really wanted to attend the Frozen Four (NCAA hockey championship game) but refused to pay $200-300 for a hotel room in capacity-limited Pittsburgh. The Wyndham showed as available on PL/Hotwire but not an idea location or hotel even if getable around $130. So I held off.

Then voila on 4/10 afternoon, a 4-star matching the OMNI popped up on Hotwire at $115ish. With the Renaissance and Westin already sold out and the Hotwire amenities, I knew it'd be the OMNI on Priceline bidding when accepted. So began in mid-70s using free rebid zones and got accepted at $91.67 (I had Entertainment $20 bonus money, so was $85 paid plus $6.67/night bonus). Mightve been accepted slightly lower -- was rejected at $89 and rebid $92 (had gotten counter-offered to go to $105ish and declined). $85 or $92 is a tremendous deal considering the cheapest discounted or otherwise Omni rate was $289/night for my stay nights.

Went through the BB PRICELINE link to my account, logged into my Ent bonus offer, and then placed the successful bid

Congratulations on your success!

Thanks for using the PRICELINE links on the board to begin your bidding :)

We hope you had a nice stay and enjoyed the Frozen Four.
