Priceline Hotel: 3* Pittsburgh (Airport PIT) Four Points

[Agoust]

I'm running in the Pittsburgh Marathon on 2 May. My past experience has been that's an especially full weekend in Pittsburgh. Am I too early to get bidding? I'd like to stay downtown, 3-4 stars, no higher than $125/night. Any help would be appreciated. I've not made any bids yet.

Thanks for your help!

Given the Marathon i don't think it's too early to begin your bidding.

Are you willing to pay more for a 4* vs. 3.5* vs. 3* OR are you looking for the least expensive 3* or better for this stay?

Least expensive 3* or better.

Many thanks for your help!

HOTWIRE actually has no availability in the downtown Pittsburgh zone for these dates, although there is regular rate availability (Hilton Pittsburgh for $119 on Orbitz, plus coupon code FABSAVE10 gets an extra 10% off.)

Thank you for using the site's PRICELINE, Orbitz.com or HOTWIRE links.

Agoust,

Does the Orbitz deal work well for your needs, or do you still want to try bidding on PRICELINE? If the latter, did you want to lower your maximum bid? (given the no HOTWIRE availability in this zone this Orbitz deal does look quite attractive, but i don't know where it is relative to the start/finish line and how it will work well for your plans)

Let us know and we'll advise accordingly.

I waited for a few others to firm-up plans and by the time we were all on board the Hilton was full too. We ended up staying at the Four Points Sheraton out by the airport--$40/night. Significantly less than we'd intended to spend, but certainly not the most interesting of locations.l It's about a 25 minute ride into the city; 55 minutes in rush hour on a Friday.

Thanks to the board!

At that rate i presume you booked via PRICELINE (as opposed to directly with the hotel?)

Hope enjoyed your stay... as well as a primanti brothers sandwich! :)

Sorry! Yes, thru priceline and I used the board's PRICELINE link.
