First time bidding and winning this. Learned about this just recently and have been trying to bid for a hotel in Baltimore and another location for a few days already. Hoping it was lower, but still happy with the results.

Welcome to BetterBidding!

Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing it with the board. Glad to hear the board was helpful in your first priceline win.

The hotel's direct rate for this nite is $269 so i think you did quite well.

From your comments it doesn't sound as if this was your first bid in the zone... do you recall your bidding hisotry at all?

Thanks again, enjoy your stay.
