Sopamanda Posted July 12, 2007 Report Posted July 12, 2007 We've always used priceline to book in the downtown area. I bid $44 and 50 and had no luck. Advice? We have a baby and thus -need- something reliably clean and nice. :) I bid for a 4* and according to the posts, $50 should have done it. Thoughts?thanks for your help!Sopamanda

Sopamanda Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 I really don't want to pay more than $50 plus taxes. Any recs for nice 3*s in the area?? We're coming from Mpls and going to Tulsa, so our location is flexible. this place rocks! thanks!
Sopamanda Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 Update:Added adjacent areas for 4* and bid $55. Rejected.Sopamanda
thereuare Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 For the Downtown area i think you might find success for a 4* if you're willing to go up to $65... but don't know if you want to increase your budget at this point in time.As well, when you added nearby zones did you expect to win a hotel in those zones, as i'm not quite sure you under stay the concept of Priceline Re-Bidding Explained.

Sopamanda Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 I upped my bid and added areas, knowing that there weren't any 4*s in that area, but hoping the increased bid may win in the original downtown area, hoping to just book and be done. I definitely don't want to go over $55 plus taxes. I'll look into adjacent areas with 3*s for a lesser price point. Any other advice?Thanks again!UPDATE: Bid up to $55 on a 3* in Country Club Plaza, Downtown and KC South. Rejected. What am I missing??
Sopamanda Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 Won a bid for 3* at $50 (original bid for $45) for Overland Park (Lenexa)- Radisson. $66.19 with taxes.
