Priceline Hotel: 3* Paris (La Defense-Neuilly) Mercure La Defense Parc

[wishful]

Was getting a little desperate as we leave tomorrow for London and I hadn't had any luck after about 4 weeks of searching. In all my bidding I was only countered once, at $119 I think. Even after taht counter I had gone up to $120 several times for 3* and 4* with no luck.

My basic strategy today was to start with 4* hotels and add zones until I ran out (you can use Batignolles - Montmartre - Republique as a free 4* re-bid zone), I bid up to $110 and then I added the 3* designation, but lowered my price as I was afraid of getting a horrible hotel :)

This is what I got for a winning bid of $83 with all zones selected and 3* and 4* checked:
