Priceline Hotel: 4* Houston (Galleria) InterContinental Houston

[ndnpapa]

Had seen the Intercontinental on Hotwire for $119 (Thanks to Better Bidding's list, I was able to determine this!). BTW - It looks like Hotwire may have promoted the Hilton Post Oak to 4.5*s again.

Started bidding at $51 and used free rebids as follows: $61, $71, $76, $81, $86, $91, $96 (won).

Price for Intercontinental room that night on Travelocity"]Travelocity: $239 + tax/fees = $280.

Used SavingsBarn link. Thanks again Better Bidding!

Subtotal: $96.00

Taxes and Service Fees: $24.25

Total Charges*: $120.25

Nicely done... congratulations on your win!

Looks like a great rate for this date.

Enjoy your stay.

BTW, for Entertainment Book members, they offer 50% off rack rates at the Intercontinental in Houston (Galleria area). Starting prices I've been offered with the discount begin at high $60s and range upward depending on day and such. Beware, however: they charge $10 per guest over one (so when my wife and I stay there, the price is the rate quoted plus $10/night) and parking is insane (I believe $14/night for self-park or $25/night for valet). Caveat emptor. For the record, this is the best hotel that I've found in that general area; better than the Renaissance off 59 IMHO (one of my favorite hotel chains).
