Micah Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Bidding for 4* downtown only, 3 nights 8/10-13/06.Started bidding through savingsbarn at $60 and increased in $5 increments to $95 using free re-bid zones. All rejected.Elsewhere it looks like some folks have recently been successful with the Westin for $99. Maybe I'll wait three days and try againOr maybe I won't wait, as I can get a room at the Heathman for $127 throuh my wife's employer (negotiated corporate rate).If the stupid Holiday Inn wasn't in the DT 3* list, I would consider bidding for 3*, too, but I don't want to be at that HI.

thereuare Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 If you are considering a 3* you can run a HOTWIRE search and possibly figure out the hotel beforehand... if not, at least manage to avoid the Holiday Inn. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
Micah Posted July 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Went back and kept bidding it up. Bid in $1 increments (love those free re-bids) to $104. All rejected (although I did get a couple of "increase by $22 and rebid now" messages, which I ignored as always).I ended up just booking the Heathman for $127 through my wife's employer.
