Got this on first attempt at $55, for next day (Saturday) hotel.

I decided to use Hotwire (linked from this site) for this reservation because it allowed my teenager to be with us for an overnight before an early flight to Rome. As far as I could tell, I needed 2 rooms to be sure that this would work on Priceline and I did not want any chance of starting our vacation with a problem. I saw better rates, but noting recently so decided to take the sure thing and move on with the rest of the trip. Here are the details: Rate per night:$86.00 Nights:1 Rooms:1 Tax recovery charges & fees: $28.18 Trip total:$114.18 Crowne Plaza Hotels, GATWICK-CRAWLEY 4* Langley Drive, Crawley, GB, Check-in Sun, Jun 26, 2011 2:00 PM Check-out Mon, Jun 27, 2011 12:00 PM Times are subject to change.

I am new to this forum and have only used Priceline once before several years ago. Successfully too! For now, I am trying to book a hotel at Heathrow for the night before our departure; July 13th-14th. We are a family of 4, so I am bidding on 2 rooms. I prefer the 4*, but since this is just for a sleepover before leaving the 3* would be fine for a low price. I am willing to go to about $65 for the 4*, and about $45 for the 3* (Please tell me if I am totally out of touch with reality - it has been quite a while since we traveled to Europe.) I have other times to try booking, but thought this would get me started. I did link to PRICELINE via a link from this site, but I have a question about that. Should I have returned to this site and relinked to priceline to make the second bid or do you still get credit for the new bid? bid history 5/27/2011 priceline 2rms 7/13-7/14/2011 4* $51 rejected 5/27/2011 priceline 2rms 7/13-7/14/2011 3* $34 rejected I would love some bidding suggestions. Thanks
