2 rooms 3 nights. Thanks.

I should have said that the price was $80 in the sub heading because that was the offer that was accepted. my all in price with taxes and fees was $540 for 6 nights, or $90/night.

Hi I wanted a 4* in Madrid in the Gran Via District so I started with the Bidding Helper tool and reviewed the options on HW Easy View and PRICELINE EXPRESS tabs. I was looking for 6 nights and noticed that the current Priceline Coupon for five percent would give the greatest discount. Luckily, the prediction option I saw on PRICELINE EXPRESS appealed to me the most. When I clicked the BUY NOW button a cautionary pop up was displayed that said, “The prediction match was less than 100 percent, proceed anyway?” I had not checked the amenities list at all so I decided to click through anyway and was happy to receive the expected hotel.

I always start from betterbidding.com for PRICELINE and HOTWIRE purchases because I use BiddingHelper.com and mapsandhotels.com to research all purchases. My priority was to be near Seacrets on 49th Street. Since I wanted to be near a particular location rather than within a large zone I toggled between the Hotwire and Hotwire Easy View tabs and determined that I could stay at the Bayfront Princess. On Hotwire it was $180/nt but on Hotwire Easy View the same exact review rating, and distance from Ocean City was $123. The Green and Blue buttons further confirmed that I was likely to get the Bayfront Princess and indeed I did, meeting my expectations for $123/nt.

I always start from betterbidding.com for my research and priceline purchases because I use Bidding Helper and mapsandhotels.com. BiddingHelper.com is a particularly powerful tool. For this win my target area was Mayfair – Soho and my price range was up to $210 dollars so I was happy to see that there was a chance at a 5* according the Priceline Express tab offerings. I had about ten zones to work with and I am happy with the result as it is the area I wanted. Total for 4 nights was $925. Thanks.

I had been researching Dublin City Center area on my dates for awhile and was planning to start a bidding strategy where my target would be 210-220 for a 4*, but I had also set a price target for HOTWIRE on RATEDROP.COM for less. Today I received an alert that a 4* in my preferred area was 188 and the amenities set matched your research on The Clarence Dublin (Free Internet, Restaurant(s), Golf nearby, Children's activities). I bought it and it surely was The Clarence and I’m pretty happy about that. Tonight’s Hotwire rate for the Clarence is 288. Thanks RateDrop!

During my research of the Charleston Historic District, I found that the Hotwire area map of Historic Charleston Downtown plus Charleston French Quarter matched closely to the Priceline area map for Downtown Charleston-Historic District. This was why I had included French Quarter (Hotwire) in my original post. Thereuare you did drill down on my long post, and the Priceline deals did seem better, plus I have only booked Priceline deals from this site, so your response certainly made sense. I did use your PRICELINE link to the 5* 224, then confirmed everything and when I clicked through it was The Belmond. I’m looking forward to this stay and really appreciate your efforts.

Hi I’m looking for a one night stay to Charleston, SC for a single night on Friday August 18. I need a hotel and request help in identifying my options. My budget is 225 and my preferred area is the downtown historic district, 4* or above. We are a party of two and one large bed is desired.

Maps and Hotels site shows 17 hotels available for my date, areas and star rating and only two of those are under 300, namely Francis Marion Hotel and Andrew Pinckney Inn.

I’m going to Boston for two nights next weekend for pleasure and had been monitoring this site and links, trying to find a way to stay in the Theater District or Copley Square for under 300 per night. I even considered two separate bids and the possibility of a hotel change, but the HOTWIRE combined rate for two nights was better than two single night rates. Tonight I saw an outrageously low HOTWIRE Hot Rate of 212 for Copley Square 4* but I did want to try NYOP and I knew at 4* there were a lot of rebid zones, so I used this NYOP strategy for a 4* in Copley Square or Theater District: Bid 180 rejected Add zone bid 184 rejected Add zone bid 188 rejected Add zone bid 192 rejected Add zone bid 196 rejected Add zone bid 199 rejected Add zone bid 202 rejected Add zone bid 205 rejected Add zone bid 208 rejected Add zone bid 211 rejected I returned to the Hotwire Hot Rate for Copley Square 4* for 212/night BUT when I clicked through the price changed to 304/night, which I didn’t want. I continued researching and found a PRICELINE EXPRESS Deal for 4* Copley Square for 245 which was also now on Hotwire Hot Rate Deals for 244 so I continued the same strategy. I had leftover bidding zones to add but I was able to use all rebid zones: 215 rejected Add zone bid 218 rejected Add zone bid 223 rejected Add zone bid 228 rejected Add zone bid 232 won Loews Boston Hotel Room subtotal: $464.00 Taxes & fees: $84.94 Total charged today: $548.94 I feel that this is substantially less than a rack rate and I’m very pleased with the location.

I enjoyed this Wyndham Hotel. It’s very close to the historical areas like Ben Franklin’s gravesite. I walked a few times to the Reading Market about seven blocks away. The hotel was a high quality business hotel, room was large with micro and minifridge. Everyone was friendly.

It is a great hotel. BTW the $40 tax was not a resort fee, just NYC and NYS taxes! One great amenity not listed was free in-room wifi.

My budget is 160 for UWS or Rockeffeller.
