vayla Posted October 9, 2007 Report Posted October 9, 2007 Tried bidding Roswell a few days ago for this date, $40 at 2.5* and $45 at 2*, rejected. Tried again tonight, bidding $50 at 2.5*. Priceline counteroffered, saying we could bid again if we raised to $64. We know that if Priceline counteroffers, you can get the hotel for something less than the counteroffer -- usually a bid splitting the difference will be successful. So we dropped the star level to 2* (a little risky, I know) and raised our bid to $58. Bid was accepted but we got a 2*, not the 2.5* that apparently was available as well. Fortunately, this is a well reviewed hotel:Check-In Date: Wednesday, October 10, 2007Check-Out Date: Thursday, October 11, 2007Hotel Name: Ramada Limited Roswell2803 West 2nd StreetRoswell, New Mexico 88201505 623 9440Your Offer Price: $58.00Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 1Subtotal: $58.00Taxes and Service Fees: $14.80Total Charges*: $72.80We might have been able to get this hotel for less -- on Hotels.com they have it for $69, and Hotwire.com has a 2* hotel that could be this hotel for $59. Used the SB link, as always. Thank you, BB!
