I was shopping around for a hotel in Minneapolis Dec 30-Jan 1st and Graves 601 has a "place bid" button with their reservation system. Has anyone tried this. The location of the hotel is ideal for me so I was looking at their regular rates.

A regional chain in the Pacific Northwest called Phoenix Inns and Suites used to run a similar inhouse bidding program. You submitted a bid to the hotel manager via a form on the hotel's website. The manager would respond yes/no within 24 hours, iirc. I sumbitted a bid once and never heard anything back. I just checked the Phoenix Inn website and don't see inhouse bidding offered anymore.

I can understand why Graves might try a program like this. 4* in Downtown Minneapolis are usually cheap on Priceline---$40's or $50's. Graves is a more upscale 4* and they probably don't want to discount that deep. The one time Graves has been reported on Priceline the winning bid amount was $81. With inhouse bidding Graves gets some discounted business without having to match the very low Priceline rates offered by their competition.
