I stayed there this past December and it was great. I was hoping to be over in TST (Sheraton was my wish) to be closer to the tailor I see but I like the island more usually. Looking forward to another stay in HK while passing thru to Macau.

And I went in thru SavingsBarn...hope it still is u$eful.

Congarulations on your win!

Quite a bit higher than we usually see this properyt, but rates are also a lot higher than usual and the dollar has been weak. Seems like you're happy with the results though! :)

Thank you for sharing your results with the board and for using hte PRICELINE links at SavingsBarn.com to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.

Indeed...I am happy but it's definitely more than I expected for a 5* in HK (either HK-W or TST). There isn't much availability on the other online engines either...so I went higher after 4 days of hovering around my target/expected range. What can I say ... I caved somewhat. I could have gotten in another round of bids but I got ansy and wanted this all settled.

HKD is tied to the USD so dollar weakening shouldn't affect prices for HK. but I know the HK market is quite hot right now, so hotels are very full and prices up in general overall vs last year.
