Priceline Hotel: 3* Memphis (Downtown) Crowne Plaza

[hawler]

$60 for 08/18/10 - 08/20/10. Fees for the 2 nights are $27.78 bringing the 2 night total to $147.78. I started with a 3 * $55 bid, then upped to $60 and included 2.5* after noting there weren't any in this class downtown. Not sure if it was necessary to increase my bid or not. Would it have been possible to have my same $55 bid accepted by including 2.5* even though there weren't any 2.5* hotels? I assumed I needed to up my bid but perhaps not? Anyone?

This was my first Priceline purchase. Thanks to betterbidding I felt quite informed and comfortable about the entire process. Knew enough to use the links too.

I'm not sure that i understand your question correct here. But the DT zone inc 2.5* hotels so i would say that you're lucky that got a 3*.

Enjoy your stay.

Oops, I thought there weren't any below 3*. I was going by the Priceline Hotel List for Tennessee on this site. Is this list up-to-date?

Or did you just mean if a new 2.5* was added?

The list is up to date by the lates reports we have. But you shouldn't use boards list to determ your bidding.

Please read this link for your re-bidding: Priceline Re-Bidding Explained

Or did you just mean if a new 2.5* was added?

The case is just that the board don't have any 2.5* hotels reported. Even if you don't see 2.5*, 2* etc hotels on the list could there be bidding for that star rating. But read the link i posted and you will understand. Just post if you have any question regarding this.

Like i said, pure luck :)
