Priceline Hotel: 3* Portland (Downtown) Hilton

[tilepusher]

I found out that I will have to leave for Portland earlier than expected, and will need a room for Thursday (and possibly Wednesday). My attempt to extend my stay at the Residence Inn RiverPlace for two more nights was rejected (with a counteroffer of $140/night! :) ). I then tried to bid for both nights and was rejected at $50 for a 2.5* and $55 for a 3*. The next morning I tried for Thursday only and my fourth bid was accepted at the Hilton ($50 was rejected for 3*, $45 for 2.5*). Total was $69.51 after taxes and fees. The rate on Hilton.com was $189.

In retrospect, I think should have tried a higher bid at the 2.5* level, but this will do nicely for one night (and given the counteroffer, the Residence Inn almost certainly wouldn't have accepted a lower bid than $55).

I used the PRICELINE link to start my bids.

For $85 savings changing hotels certainly seems worthwhile! :)

Thank you for sharing your win and for using our PRICELINE link to begin your bidding.

Enjoy your stay.
