Well, strange... for same dates before when bidding 4star riverside/silom had been rejected ... - After a lot of rejections for

5-star for all areas of Bangkok... I just became curious and tried for 3-star riverside/Silom... started with 25 US$, then 28US$,

then 30US$... always rejected... Finally 35 US$.... -> Accepted, upgraded to 4star... -> Holiday Inn...

Well, sure, I would have preferred the Marriott - no doubt about that... but for 35 US$ I don't really complain.... Holiday-inn.com says

65 US$/night plus 17% taxes per night (pre-paid). So still a great saving. Will maybe upgrade to executive floor.. will see.

By the way... got banned in TOBB after posting this post there.. :) (post deleted already!)

How far apart (timewise) was your 4* rejected bid from this upgraded 3* bid?

[Chris26WI]

I went up to 51 US$ / night for 4-star Riverside/Silom, but I just checked, it was for one-nights from 19-21 November, so not exactly the same period... that's probably why! Maybe done 2 or 3 days before.

That's a really good price. You're right. For that price, who complains?

Congrats.

I prearranged an upgrade to executive floor for only 24US$++ surcharge which is absolutely worth it IMHO (excellent lounge breakfast and dinner "snacks" buffet). And the euro is strong, so cheap for me ;-). Allover 73 US$ net / night for executive room .... Holiday-Inn.com says 116 US$ net / night for executive room for the same period... so a huge saving!
