Priceline Hotel: 3* Danbury-Southbury (Waterbury) Holiday Inn

[pacificboot]

Bid for a three star hotel at Waterbury area - there were only two - The Courtyard Marriott or The Holiday Inn.

Courtyard Marriott is definitely my first choice, but I knew it was impossible, since Holiday Inn was charging cheaper than the CY.

First bid: $49 was accepted for 2 nights.

Question: should I have bid lower? Published rates were $99, what price should I start at?

Also, the CT hotel list can now be updated as it is confirmed at Holiday Inn Waterbury is 3*

I just add to add something that will be helpful to future users.

BID LOWER for this hotel. As I was new at this, I forgot to check hotwire, which shows 3 Star available at $39, which means that I should have started my bid at $35 instead of $49. I got $49 by calculating 50% off regular rates of $99, but I should have checked.

Lesson learn: Use hotwire to your advantage, and start by bidding low. It is okay to be rejected, if you have time on your hands.
