Welcome to BetterBidding!

Congratulations on your win and thank you for sharing it with the board. I think you did well from the standpoint that you won a hotel at less than half the going rate of booking direct, but you could have bd more strategically as well.

A common mistake is lowering your star rating while raising your bid (or keeping your bid the same).... see this thread for a more detailed discussion: If You Lower Your Star Rating Then Lower Your Priceline Bid Amount.

Feel free to ask for help before bidding on your next hotel stay.
