Priceline Hotel: 4* Paris (Eiffel Tower-Grenelle-Montparnasse) Pullman Rive Gauche

[belgo]

I would be willing to pay up to $130 for a 4*, or $100 for a 3*. Any zone except Batignoles-Montmartre-Republique, La Defense, and probably Bastille, would be OK. Priceline lists Champs-Elysees as the best deal, so that seems nice, but other zones would be OK. :)

Can you please list the zones that you will accpet (rather than the ones you won't)... it avoids confusion, as well as clarifies matters in case the zones are re-zoned between now and the time you bid.

As well, did you want to try for a 4* first up to your limit and then, if rejected try for a 3*... or did you want to try for a 3* up to $100 and switch to a 4* if you're going to be paying $100+?

Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.

In order of preference: (6) Opera East/Les Halles, (3) Champs Elysees, (7) St. Germain, (4) Eiffel Tower. Yes, I'll try 4* up to $130, then switch to 3* if unsuccessful.

avoid Champs-Elysees 4*, it is Concorde La Fayette. Read on tripadvisor before you bid. 161 reviews <50% give 4* or higher & they are underconstruction 9sep/2008)

Very well, we'll stick with 4* for the other zones, then if it doesn't work out, go with 3* for all four of the zones.

We ended up getting the Paris Pullman Rive Gauche for $130 (4*), after being turned down at that rate for the Opera and the St. Germain areas. It's not exactly in the center of town but seems to be a decent place... The best deal I could find on this hotel was $205/night, so about 1/3 off. Not my best success ever, but not the worst either.

Just for the record, I did use the PRICELINE link from this site, of course. :)

Congratulations on your win!

Looks like a nice deal... glad to hear that this should work well for your needs. I know many don't consider the area around the Eiffel Tower to be very central, but we found ourselves in this area a LOT during our trip a year or so ago.

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

Enjoy your stay.

Congratulations, I would pay for 130 USD/night any day of the year.
