Priceline Hotel: 3.5* Denver (Downtown) Crowne Plaza Hotel Denver

[bluean9el]

Hi there -

I'm trying to get a 4* room in Downtown Denver for under $90/night, checking in 9/17 and out 9/20. I see that other posters are able to get it below $80 so maybe it's my dates.

I've added Aurora, Littleton, Denver Airport, etc. Pretty much all the areas with no 4* hotels and gone in $2 increments from $76. Can you please help?

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Rates are date specific so you won't always be able to replicate another user's win when your dates are different then theirs... demand (and therefore prices) may be higher for your dates and require a high bid price then if demand (and prices) are lower for another user's dates and requires a lower bid price.

If you use our sister site MAPS and HOTELS.com and search for your dates in Denver, UNcheck all star rating except for 4 stars, and you'll see rates start at $200+ for your dates, making your $90/nite bid price less than half of prevailing rates, which does not give you a higher probability of success.

Please confirm how high you have bid already for a 4* hotel? How high are you willing to bid before lowering your star rating to the 3.5* level? (or considering other zones at the 4* level)

I've bid up to $92. I think I'll be willing to go to $100 before dropping down to 3 1/2 stars.

Thanks for your advice.

Unless there is a major change in rates i don't think that $100 will likely be enough for a 4* hotel for your dates, but keep us updated on your progress and let us know if/how we an be of further help along the way.

I love your site and you're always a great help. I ended up dropping my star level to 3 1/2 because I didn't want to go above $110 and don't think I would be able to get any 4* with that. I ended up getting the Crowne Plaza Downtown for $106, which is still a great rate since it's on MAPS and HOTELS.com for $200.

Thanks for your insight. It was very helpful

Congratulations on your success!

Glad to see you're pleased with the results... for these dates the 3.5* seems to offer a much better value then the 4* properties.

Thank you for sharing your win with the board.
