Who should I call? Hotwire or the Hotel Directly? Is there a recommended strategy to weasel an upgrade? Thank you John

Tried Priceline for days, no luck due to Memorial Day (Went to $140 for 4*, $195 for 5*) Needed a room, ended up with Hard Rock for $117/night: Casino Fitness Center Pool Restaurant Spa Services I was convinced it would be the Westin, but for last minute on a busy weekend, very happy with the results, especially having no luck with a Saturday check in on PL for a Holiday weekend. HRH website is $728 for these nights for a basic room! Any tips on how to get a better room, will the $20 trick at check in work at HRH? Thanks

3* property Bid 36 Bid 40 Bid 44 Bid 48 Waited 24 hours Bid 52 Bid 58 Bid 64 Bid 72 All rejected, 3 re-bid zones used each time, what gives?????

New to the rebid strategy, but kinda executed it. Rejected @ $48, $55, $57 waited 24 hours (had to stay DT and didn't know if other rebid zones had 3* properties) Bid $61 got Hyatt Arcade. Web rate for these dates is $209/night ($189/mon, $229/tues&wed), so it is a good deal, but no recent posts for this property. Many 3* seem to have been available for in the $40-$50 range, but there is a noticable difference between weekend and weekday rates in Cleveland, and many of these results fell on weekends (which are cheaper). I guess 70% off rack is a nice result. (?)
