Canes98 Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 I wanted a 4* hotel in downtown Austin for the night of December 30th. I saw Hotwire had a 4* going for between $58 and $60, and thanks to betterbidding, I was able to figure out that it was likely the Omni listed at that rate. Willing to accept any 4* downtown, I tried to beat Hotwire's price on Priceline. My bid for $42 received a counteroffer of $54. Instead of accepting, I added a zone with no 4 stars and bid $44 which was accepted by the Omni.A great hotel in a great location at a great price. I had limited internet access, so I could not post this winning bid until after the fact. Also, the students out at the bars that night were in a lively mood, almost anticipating the imminent Rose Bowl victory over Michigan.
