Can you please follow-up your previous Priceline Tampa hotel thread with whatever you ended up doing for that trip.

For your Minneapolis trip above, at current rates i think you will likely need to be in the $135-$150 range to be successful for a 4.5* property... how high are you willing to bid for a 4.5* hotel at this point in time?

man, you are THOROUGH. i did go back and entered in what i got for the trip in tampa.

i would be willing to go up to $140 so, that range would be acceptable to me. There is too much range for the 4 star hotels. There are some nice ones, like the Westin, but also some other ones, like the Hyatt, that feel like salt in the wound, knowing that I could have potentially got a Westin for the same money.

There's no way to avoid a particular property (or steer towards one) when bidding, so it becomes a focus on PRICELINE EXPRESS or HOTWIRE. I'm seeing what appears to be the W for $163 and Hotel Minneapolis for $175.  I'm not seeing anything in terms of non-bidding at the 4* level or higher for $140 or less. 

Additionally, please confirm the specifics in your prior Tampa thread. Thanks, it's greatly appreciated.

I got a room. Radisson Blu. $144 a night.

 

It was funny because they offered me some "specials" at 4 star hotels, at a "discounted" price of $180, when I bid at $140.
