Priceline Hotel: 2.5* Inland Empire (Ontario) failed

[wsj3200]

Doing some bottom fishing in Ontario. Recent wins by others including a $34 win for the 3* Hyatt Place @ Ontario Mills Mall had me wondering if a lower price point is possible in these poor economic times. I tried bids of 3* @ $30 and 2.5* @ $32 to without success on this occasion. :)

For future bidding sessions, I'm going to avoid 2.5* bids for fear I might get the Country Inn and Suites, which while it has a nice lobby and dining area, sports some of the worst rooms in the area. Looks like a 3* @ $34 bid might be the magic number for now. That could get the Hyatt or a bump to one the areas 3.5* hotels which are all quite nice. If you're in a hurry, a $40 bid at this level is almost a sure thing. There are no free bids for this area at the 3* star level at present. :)

Thanks for sharing your bidding attempts and notes on hotels in the area.

Tried $34 3* today and got the add $9 right now message. I'm going to try $34 a few more times before going to $36.
