Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Denver (Cherry Creek) Staybridge Suites

[travelAlot]

All in all, a pretty easy and painless procesxs. Friend's parents visiting, needed something east of Denver (Stapleton or preferably Cherry Creek). Knew 3-star was getable for around $42-45 based on Hotwire showing $50-51, and vacation packages matching its features to the Radisson Stapleton....and had that as a backup to fall on just in case. For Cherry Creek, Hotwire showed $61 for 3-star (probably Holiday Inn Select) and $67 for 2.5-star with 2 basic ammenities (likely Sheraton 4 Pts as no suites, kitchenette logo showing).

Strategy was to focus on Cherry Creek 3-stars (1st and 3 rebids), then CC 2.5 stars (1st and 1 rebid) and then -- if still unsuccessful -- Stapleton 3-stars (1st and 3 rebids), a combo-ed CC-Stapleton four bids. Got rejected at $40, 43, $46 and $49 on CC 3 star. Tried $43 for 2.5-star opening bid, knowing only 1 free rebid zone and hoping for a hint (i.e. counter offer) if rejected. Priceline's rejection offered a free rebid if upped price to $65, no extra zones or changes needed (no guarantee I'd successfully be accepted either, unlike a standard counteroffer). Upped bid to $47 from $43, added Northeast (highest quality hotel=2 stars) zone........and voila, accepted.

Staybridges Suites best rate is $94/night so 50% off, and property is way way better than Sheraton 4 Pts (bigger and more modern rooms). So much easier than Vegas! And yes, went through the SavingsBarn link.
