I have been bidding the following for about two weeks, between $50 - 85:

4-star - st. pete beach

add 3.5 star

add clearwater beach

add 3 star

add 2.5 star

FINALLY, tonight I decided to just try for a 4 star in St. Pete Beach since I saw a deal on hotwire for $128 that I was willing to go for.

So I bid this on priceline tonight:

St. Pete Beach $90 rejected ( but offered to accept for $22 more a night, I declined)

Add S. St. Pete $95 rejected

Add Dunedin $100 ACCEPTED

I could not be more pleased! And its over Valentine's Weekend!! Woohoo! Thanks so much for this site; it has saved me so much money and I'm sure will continue to in the future.

Register for the Paradise Club (it's free) through the hotel's website and you get vouchers for two free drinks at any of the hotel's restaurants and some notecards from the gift shop done by a resident artist. Plus you may have a better chance of getting an upgrade as all the standard rooms are two queen beds. King beds are upon request and they typically charge more for that. I stayed there this past weekend 2/6/2009-2/8/2009 and got upgraded with a PRICELINE bid.

Also the rooms have a good sized minifridge and microwave. Be aware there is a $25 resort fee that will not be waived. Have a nice trip.
