:) Of the 7 Baltimore locations Priceline offers, Inner Harbor is currently the only one that offers 4* hotels so this search just required that I add a new location choice as I bumped my price in $7 increments starting at $60. Even though (as you can see above) I saved over $200, I am sheepishly disappointed with this outcome. Most reviewers don't really consider my winning hotel more than a 3* so I had fingers & toes crossed for the Hyatt Regency, but hey, location is perfect even if the deal isn't quite! :)

I've Pricelined the Renaissance for $90 and $100 in November and May, respectively. With the cost of hotels near the harbor in the summertime, you did a great job with $102. I've stayed in 4* Hyatt's in other cities that don't compare to the Renaissance. The Hyatt in Baltimore, of course, has the glass elevators with the great views. But don't worry. The Renaissance is very nice and very convenient and you may even luck out and get a room with a partial harbor view. It happened once to me; the other time, I got the standard Priceline fare -- room overlooking the roof/inside courtyard.
