Used the SavingsBarn link to PL for both winning bids. Also, this is a new hotel to report in the Albany Airport ALB zone, 2.5 stars:

Hilton Garden Inn (Albany Airport ALB)

800 Albany Shaker Road

Albany, NY 12211

Started out bidding over the past week for 3*in ALB zone (was hoping to get the Marriott Airport as seen on past posts). Failed up to $65, probably takes more than $65 for this 3* win. Marriott web prices for my stay dates were $125 & $140 respectively. Also, tried 2.5* in Latham zone, all failed up to $60! Too much for my budget!

Finally, decided to try 2.5* in ALB zone using this bidding strategy for 6/22/07-6/25/07 dates:

- $47: ALB zone 2.5* <rejected>

- $50: Add Latham 2.5* <accepted!> Latham is also 2.5* zone, but already knew from previous failed bids this lower bid wouldn't win in the 2.5* Latham zone.

Hilton Garden Inn web price = $101, a 50% savings!

For my second stay 7/12/07-7/14/07, the Hilton Garden Inn web price = $84 (cheaper than my earlier dates). Used this bidding strategey for these dates (using $50 as my max from my previous win, hopefully getting a cheaper bid):

- $42: ALB zone 2.5* <rejected>

- $44: Add Latham 2.5* <rejected>

- $48: New bid ALB zone + Schenectady zone <rejected>

- $50: Add Latham <accepted!>

So it seems Hilton Garden Inn's PL inventory price = $50, regardless of the web price differences for different stay dates.

Overall, I'm very happy :) w/ the savings for these 2 wins @ the Hilton Garden Inn. Will add a review for this hotel after my stays.

Many THANKS :) to this website & community!
