Happy Hedonist Posted May 22, 2013 Report Posted May 22, 2013 I've stayed at the Delta Chelsea several times in the past & it's my favorite hotel to stay at due to its fantastic location. Checking what was available on Hotwire for that weekend, i noticed that the hotels were somewhat pricier than usual. When using Priceline, i usually bid $10-$20 less than what i see on Hotwire for a similar property.So, i figured i'd have to bid between $90-120 in order to get a 3.5 or 4 star for that weekend. My first choice was getting the Delta Chelsea, so i went ahead & bid $94 for 3 nights & wound up getting it on my first try.It's possible that i could have bid a bit less and still obtain it, but i didn't mind paying a few dollars extra & increasing my chances in the process. Bidding lower might have led to failure & having to wait 72 hours to re-bid, which i didn't like doing at the time. The bottom line is that paying $94 to stay at that hotel is still a great bargain as far as i'm concerned.
