Priceline Hotel: 5* Berlin (Tiergarten-Kufuerstendamm) (rejected)

[Otter7]

Didn't expect to get it, but I thought I'd give it a try. I can stay with family in Berlin, but I'd rather have my own (nice) bed there. I can stay in any of the four zones in Berlin and I can settle for a 4*. I'm not going to go much higher than this for a 5* and I know I probably will end up in a 4. I see someone got the Marriott Berlin 5* for a single night on 12/16/09 at $86. I can go about $70 (per night) for four nights in a 5*. At Hotwire for these dates a 5* is $111 and a 4* is $51. I figure I shouldn't pay more than $40 for a 4*, but I want to be careful because 4* are much more likely to have unpredictable quality.

Tried bidding in all areas of Berlin for a 5* at $67, a 4* at $40 and a 3* for $32 for 12/17 to 12/22, rejected on all. Will try again tomorrow. I have decided I will not go above $450 including all fees for 5 nights in a 5* and will not go above $300 including all fees for a 4*. I think I would not bid much more than I already have for a 3*. Is there any way to know what the possible 3*'s and 4*'s are in the different areas?
